Donald Trump being courted by Twitter alternative Gettr — run by his

Former President Donald Trump hasn’t made any new social media accounts since he was kicked off Twitter and Facebook earlier this year — but that’s not stopping alternative free speech-focused platforms from trying to recruit him. 

Jason Miller, a former senior adviser to Trump who is now CEO of a Twitter alternative called Gettr, told The Post he’s been having discussions with Trump for months about joining the platform, which says it’s signed up 2.5 million users since coming online in June. 

Miller wants to get Trump on Gettr with the idea that if the former president is a member, millions of his fans will follow.

Trump hasn’t agreed to sign up — yet. Far from the days of lending his name to vodka, steaks and ties, the former president wants to “make sure it’s a viable platform” before joining, Miller told The Post.

Gettr currently looks like a bare-bones version of Twitter, but Miller says the platform plans to add features like direct messaging and live-streaming in the coming months. Gettr Pay, an alternative to Apple and Google Pay, is expected next year.

Trump also wants something else as a condition of joining, according to an Axios report last month: equity in Gettr. Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.

Miller wouldn’t confirm that report, but said talks with the ex-president have progressed since August. He declined to provide details. He spoke to The Post over a steak lunch at a restaurant near Gettr’s New York headquarters. It’s located in flashy clothing brand Versace’s former offices on the 20th floor of 3 Columbus Circle. (The gilded flourishes left behind from the former tenant might appeal to Trump’s similarly flashy tastes.)

Gettr has received funding from Guo Wengui, a businessman who fled China in 2014 and is close with fellow ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon. It also has other unnamed backers and has raised about $75 million so far, the company says. Miller told The Post he has recently been speaking with potential investors overseas, including in Latin America and Europe. 

Gettr is not the first platform to court the former president.

Parler, another free speech-oriented alternative to Twitter and Facebook, gained traction among conservatives in late 2020 before crashing and burning when Amazon Web Services banned the company in the wake of the Jan. 6 riots, leaving its app unusable for a month. Trump reportedly considered joining Parler but balked when the company refused to censor his critics, New York Magazine reported. 

Gettr also relies on Amazon Web Services to provide the technology that undergirds its site, but Miller said it has a backup plan to avoid an…
