Americanswers... on 5 Live! Who controls Donald Trump's Truth Social account?

Donald Trump founded Truth Social in 2022 after he was banned from major social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. But is the president the sole user of his account, and are there any “tells” for when someone else has posted on his account? We also answer your questions about whether funding cuts in the latest instalment of Donald Trump’s war with Harvard could lead to a brain drain in the US. And, what next for DOGE after Elon Musk officially left the White House on Friday?
