The real estate mogul and reality star launched his Truth Social platform in 2022, a year after being banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube following the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection on Capitol Hill.
Although Trump has already been allowed to return to those social networks, he has relied on Truth Social as his main channel for sharing messages with his supporters, especially since he launched his 2024 presidential campaign.

The financial statement provides limited information because it only reports gross income.
That makes it hard to understand how many of Trump's biggest properties and businesses have fared since his departure from the White House, because the reports he had to file when he was president included specific incomes rather than ranges.
In the most recent financial disclosure, for example, Trump reported that his Washington, DC golf club brought in more than $5 million.
In 2020, he said it had been $14.2 million.
