Donald Trump, Jr. is appearing to suggest his father's new social media platform, Truth Social, was created to help Republicans win elections.

Appearing on far right host Sebastian Gorka's Newsmax show that aired Sunday, Trump Jr. was asked in a segment about the new social media site what his “specific message" is “to those who had just kind of given up on the idea of America and free and fair elections."

"Let's stay in the game," he replied, after discussing Truth Social for several minutes and urging viewers to join. “I mean, you know, these are all steps that we're taking to make sure that we can level that playing field, the playing field has been so biased for so long, right?" he claimed.

“We've been playing T ball while the other side has been playing hardball and doing whatever it takes," Trump Jr. said, despite some Republicans working to overturn the free and fair 2020 presidential election.

"You know, Donald Trump opened the door for conservatives to start pushing back, to play the game the way the other side has done it. We need to keep doing that, we need to stay in this game. They would love for us just to tuck tail to run to turn the other cheek to be dejected, to take our ball and go home. We can't allow that to happen, we have to stay in the game we have to stay involved we have to be vocal and we have to be unafraid."

And even though Facebook was formed in 2004, Twitter in 2006, Microsoft in 1980, and Apple in 1976, he also seemed to suggest that “Big Tech" or social media platforms have been working against Republicans for 50 years.

"And if we do that and you look at what's going on right now with the insanity of this administration and all of the leftist agenda, you realize, Americans are waking up. It's about time, but they're finally doing it and we're actually able to put up a front against a huge, huge platform that has been working against us, for half a century."
