> He once threatened to make a platform to rival twitter's.
True but 1) he's hardly going to code it himself and 2) he's fundamentally not a details or follow-through person. Promises, bluster and threats are his forte. That and bankruptcies.
On the other hand, he's a billionaire, and he could credibly promise to pay for something better-provisioned than Gab long enough for it to be built. He's not known to pay such bills, but people do keep falling for it...
Any social network tied to Donald Trump's name would be a PR disaster because you'd end up with a ton of trolls on it and every controversial post, big or small, serious or not, would be something his opponents would demand he disavow. But strict moderation would also defeat the purpose of the site and alienate his base. So I think the ultimate choice was to have a social network of one person - a blog page on his website. And that's his "platform" now.
