Hilary Clinton knocks Donald Trump being in ‘trouble’
Donald Trump’s new social media venture, Truth Social, has run into trouble since arriving in Apple’s App Store last night. Users trying to sign up have reported error messages and found themselves added to a growing waitlist, with some of them seeing their queue number go up rather than down.
The app also faces the risk of legal action from a British company whose logo is almost identical to that being used by the new platform. In a statement to The Independent, TRAILAR said that “we are now seeking legal advice to understand next steps and options available to protect our brand.
“TRAILAR has no affiliation or connection with the Truth Social network site, with our business firmly focused on decarbonising global transport through the use of solar and data driven technologies.”
The launch of the new “free speech” app comes after a torrid week of news for the former president. In a letter to Congress on Friday, the US National Archives and Records Administration revealed that Mr Trump brought several boxes that contained “classified national security information” to his Florida residence, raising the possibility of a Congressional investigation and legal sanction for breaching White House records preservation laws.
Trump holds onto Save America funds
The latest campaign finance reports show Donald Trump’s Save America ended January with $108m.
The former president’s political action committee, however, did not donate funds to any candidates he is backing.
Mr Trump has endorsed over 120 candidates since leaving the White House, over half of whom are running for federal office.
Mr Trump’s leadership PAC took in $4.1m and spent $1.5m in January, according to its latest filing with the Federal Election Commission, reported Bloomberg.
In comparison, the Republican National Committee finished last month with less than half that amount, $51.7m, in the bank.
Save America has donated just $350,500 to candidates since July. That’s less than the $838,000 the PAC spent on event staging and related expenses in January.

Marjorie Taylor Greene complains about being treated ‘as if I’m some kind of crazy person’
A QAnon-supporting Georgia congresswoman who once suggested California wildfires were caused by a Jewish-controlled space laser and expressed fears that a chilled tomato soup police force would be deployed against her by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now complaining that she is being treated as “crazy” by Democrats and the American press.
“It bothers me so much — they treat me as if I’m some kind of crazy person, or like I have three horns coming out of my head,” Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said during a Sunday appearance on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s Infowars show.

Is Hillary Clinton staging a comeback?
As the former secretary of state and defeated 2016 presidential candidate returned to the national stage, her main target was a familiar foe. Could this mean a new role – and perhaps even another tilt at the White House, asks Richard Hall.
