10月26日唐纳德·川普电报频道发出声明（部分）

10月26日晚，在美国股市中，这只热牛股票DWAC（新发行，川普的“真相媒体”的合资公司）经过一天的上下波动，没有比川普声明这条消息更让保守派爱国者与所有热爱自由的人们高兴和踏实的了，所以又要奔走相告，今早抢发。

第45任总统唐纳德·川普关于川普媒体和科技集团（TMTG）的声明

上周，我宣布创建一个重要的新公司，将挑战大科技巨头和大媒体巨头的主导地位。今天，我想更多地解释一下我正在做的事情和原因。对我来说，这项工作的意义远远超越政治。而是关乎拯救我们的国家。

美国一直是一个由聪明、有活力和独立的人民组成的国家，美国人民为能独立思考而感到自豪。我们钦佩那些敢于说出自己的想法，或逆潮流而上的人。然而，突然间，我们发现自己被一小群自以为是的骂人者和自封的仲裁者审查和支配，由他们来决定其他人应该如何思考、说话、分享和行事。

这种审查制度最危险、最明目张胆的地方莫过于我们这个时代的公共广场——社交媒体。我们已经看到一些知名的医生被禁止进入平台，因为他们与“卫生权威”意见相左或质疑当前的政治论调。我们看到一些科学家因为分享大流行病始于实验室的证据而被列入黑名单。我们看到关于乔·拜登和亨特·拜登的外国商业交易的重要报道——选民需要也应该听到的信息——在总统选举前几周被无情地压制并从网上删除。众所周知，我们已经看到一位美国在任总统被科技巨头和“主流”媒体公司组成的小型寡头集团有效地压制了声音。

这些平台的腐败是不容忽视的。在我国，我们已经在审查制度的“滑坡”上摔出很远了，美国人越来越被禁止辩论的话题都是我们今天最重要的问题之一。

这种咄咄逼人的审查制度和“取消文化”不仅违悖美国精神，而且有直接的、现实世界的后果。最明显的是在本届政府之下发生的许多灾难，仅举几例：灾难性的阿富汗撤军，南部边境的灾难，失控的通货膨胀，以及数万亿美元的社会主义开支噩梦。在一个拥有言论自由和信息自由流动的国家，这一切都不会发生——那些进行审查的人比任何人都更清楚这一点。

然而，禁言和取消也以更微妙、但同样具有破坏性的方式影响着我们的国家。有多少美国人不再相信他们从领导人、媒体或公共卫生官员那里听到的一个词，因为他们可以肯定的是，他们得到的不是完整的故事？有多少普通公民悲哀地开始怨恨他们的邻居，觉得他们现在生活在两个完全不同的现实中？又有多少美国人默默地反对施加在我们身上的如此多的胡言乱语，却又看到了取消者的高压手段，由此得出结论，他们的声音不能产生任何影响，或者说，说真话的代价太高？

审查制度的新时代对我们的国家来说是一场灾难。在我们激烈而公开地进行辩论的日子里，情况要好得多，然后我们可以作为美国人一起向前迈进，双方都知道他们的声音和他们最好的论点已经被听到。

我对这个问题研究得越多，就越意识到，要恢复言论自由，就必须有一个重要的新平台进入市场，并对保护各方的激烈辩论作出铁的承诺。但是，由于建立一个完全独立于大科技公司基础设施的新平台既困难又昂贵，它必须是一个资金极其充足、长期承诺的事业。此外，这样一个平台需要有能力迅速吸引数以百万计的用户，不仅欢迎共和党人加入，也欢迎独立人士和民主党人加入。

这是一系列极其困难的挑战——我意识到我可能是美国唯一一个拥有扩音器、资源、经验和实现这一切的愿望的人。因此，本着一直以来让美国人坚持不懈的“我能行”精神，这正是我正在做的事情。

为了对付大科技公司的审查制度，我们正在创建一个“大帐篷”平台——“真相社交”。我们正在邀请所有政治派别和所有不同观点的人，来再次参与美国的大辩论。这才是我们国家应该有的样子。与大型科技平台不同，不会有暗中禁言、扼杀、取消或为政治操纵而乱用算法。我们不会把用户当作社会实验的小白鼠，也不会把其他观点贴上“虚假信息”的标签。我们不会让我们的同胞噤声，仅仅因为他们可能是错的，或者更糟糕的是，因为我们认为美国人“不能处理真相”。

它将像美国本身一样自由、充满活力、生机勃勃和多样化。而“真相社交”只是我们计划的开始。川普媒体和技术集团还将推出一项点播视频流媒体服务，与科技巨头和媒体巨头创造的日益“觉醒”和政治化的“娱乐”节目竞争。川普媒体和技术集团还看到了在从网络服务到支付处理等其他关键领域创建“防取消”替代方案的机会。

归根结底，不能相信少数权贵来控制美国几乎所有的主要媒体、技术和娱乐公司，他们想法划一并希望压制任何不同想法的人。我决心打破他们对美国人民声音的扼制——不仅仅是为了我自己和我的支持者，也是为了美利坚合众国！

英文全文：

Statement on TMTG by the45th President Donald J. Trump

Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country.

America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak theirminds, orgo against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do.

Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting“health authorities” or questioning the political narrative of the moment. We’ve seen scientists blacklisted for sharing evidence that the pandemic began in a Chinese lab. We’ve seen vital reporting about Joe and Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings—information that voters needed and deserved to hear—ruthlessly suppressed and erased from the internet just weeks before a presidential election. And as everyone knows, we’ve seen a sitting president of the United States effectively silenced by a small oligarchy of tech titans and“mainstream” media corporations.

The corruption of these platforms cannot be ignored. We have fallen far down the“slippery slope” of censorship in our country, and the topics that Americans are increasingly forbidden to debate are among the most important issues of our day.

This wildly aggressive censorship and“cancel-culture” is not only un-American—it has direct, real-world consequences. Most obvious are the many catastrophes unfolding under the current administration: the calamitous Afghanistan withdrawal, the disaster at the Southern Border, runaway inflation, and the multi-trillion-dollar socialist spending nightmare, just to name a few. In a country that had free speech and a free flow of information, none of this would ever have happened—and no one understands that better than the people doing the censoring.

Yet the silencing and cancellation also affects our country in more subtle, but equally destructive, ways. How many Americans no longer trust a word they hear from their leaders, media, or public health officials, because the one thing they know for certain is that they are not getting the full story? How many ordinary citizens have sadly cometo resent their neighbors, feeling that they now live in two entirely different realities? And how many millions of Americans silently oppose so much of the nonsense being inflicted on us, but see the heavy hand of the cancelers, and conclude that their voice can make no difference, or that the cost of speaking up is just too high?

The new age of censorship is a disaster for our country. Things were far better in the days when we had our debates fiercely and openly, and then we could move forward together, as Americans, with both sides knowing that their voice, and their best arguments, had been heard.

The more I looked into this problem, the more I realized that to restore free speech, a major new platform would have to enter the market, with an ironclad commitment to protecting vigorous debate from all sides. But since it is both hard and expensive to build a new platform totally independent of Big Tech’s infrastructure, it would have to be an extremely well-funded, multi-year undertaking. In addition, such a platform would need the ability to rapidly attract millions of users, welcoming not only Republicans to join, but Independents and Democrats as well.

It’s a tremendously difficult set of challenges—and I realized I might be the only person in America with the megaphone, the resources, the experience, and the desire to make it all happen.

So with the same“can-do” spirit that has always allowed Americans to persevere, that is exactly what I am doing.

To take on Big Tech censorship, we are creating a“Big Tent” platform: Truth Social. We are inviting people of all political stripes, and all different viewpoints, to come and participate once again in the great American debate. That’s what our country is supposed to be about. Unlike with the Big Tech platforms, there will be no shadow-banning,throttling, demonetizing, or messing with algorithms for political manipulation. We will not be treating users like lab rats for social experiments, or labeling alternative views as“disinformation.” We will not silence our fellow citizens simply because they might be wrong—or worse, because we think that Americans“can’t handle the truth.”

It will be as free, vibrant, lively, and diverse as America itself. And Truth Social is only the beginning of our plans. The Trump Media and Technology Group will also be launching an on-demand video streaming service that competes with the increasingly“woke” and politicized‘entertainment’ programming created by Big Tech and Big Media players. TMTG also sees opportunities to create“cancel-proof” alternatives in other key areas ranging from web services to payment processing.

In the end, a small number of powerful people who all think the same and wish to silence anyone who thinks differently cannot be trusted to control almost every major media, technology, and entertainment company in America. I am determined to break their chokehold over the voices of the American People—not just for myself and my own supporters, but for the United States of America!
