Like the idea, but execution will be next to impossible. Just look at Gab, and the "threat" it poses. Servers will be under DDOS attack 24/7, if not outright shutdown if Trump and the Social network down own them outright. And you think they'll let Trump have a social media mouthpiece again? ISPs will block it, or be ordered to block it.
Now, having said all that, Trump and the gang must know this. So what's the real play here, other than showing the power that Big Tech wields?
I would imagine IF he's really 5 steps ahead of his opposition - which I'm not so sure about anymore - then he would have had the security angle covered a long time ago when the concept was thought out. Just because it's been recently announced doesn't mean it's a new idea. Could be years in the making for all we know
Team Trump can sue everybody and their mother if they get interfered with. They can also mobilize tens of millions of Americans to bring pressure directly on politicians, news media, payment processors, banks, etc. who try to blacklist Trump's social media empire.
