Donald Trump's former aide Jason Miller launches social media site GETTR

 Former US President Donald Trump, who recently shut down a short-lived blog on his website, joined video platform Rumble last weekend ahead of his campaign-style rally in Ohio.

Washington: Former US President Donald Trump`s former senior advisor Jason Miller has started a social media site called GETTR, he said on Thursday. GETTR, a Twitter-style platform with posts and trending topics, advertised itself on the Google and Apple app stores as "a non-bias social network for people all over the world." It was first reported by Politico. Miller has for months teased the Trump team`s plans to start a new social media platform, after the former president was blocked by a slew of sites following the Jan. 6 riot where his supporters stormed the Capitol. However, Trump does not have a verified account on GETTR.
