Donald Trump released a statement this week praising the success of his app, Truth Social.

On Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel pointed out that while Trump is promoting his app as a free speech alternative to Twitter, Truth Social’s community guidelines aren’t all that different.

And the biggest no-no, the one they actually call ‘Truth #1’, they will delete your account if you use the platform as a ‘tool for a crime or any illegal activity’ like, I don’t know, maybe start a riot on the Capitol?’ Kimmel said. “What I’m wondering is maybe this is why Trump hasn’t posted to Truth Social — he’s been banned from that too.”

“But Fauci warned that the virus cannot be completely eradicated. The country may be all over it, but somehow it’s still hanging around. Actually, it’s like ‘American Idol’.” —JAMES CORDEN
“Yeah, a phase, kind of wide-leg jeans — they’ve been gone for 20 years and now everyone looks like they should borrow some of Shaq’s jeans, you know?” — TREVOR NOAH
