Within its first few days of launching, the app already has 500,000 registered users. GETTR, which is believed to be a Twitter-style platform with posts as well as trending topics sells itself on App stores as a “non-bias social network for people all over the world." Former Trump adviser, Steve Banon posted on GETTR app that it is a Twitter Killer. Miller confirmed that Trump was not on the platform yet and that he was not funding its development as well.
