Yet new data shows its main product — the conservative-friendly social network Truth Social — remains a very tiny player in its industry, and it’s getting even smaller.

    At least some of it is retail investors who politically believe in Trump, don’t have any idea what they’re doing, and are getting sold a pretty terrible deal.

    Those would be the same as the normal audience for “truth” social.
