First, unfortunately Trump has a habit of self-branding everything. I think if he funded something that was more of a neutral platform it could go farther.
Sites like Gab run their own servers, which means you have to buy the equipment to scale. And hardware can be difficult to get right now because of shortages. Also, I tihnk gab uses Cloudflare for DDoS protection, so in theory they could drop Gab but so far they have been pretty cool. This front end would absorb attacks where people use large amounts of bandwidth to busy out a site. It doesn't solve issues with site security.
When it comes to just rolling your own all the way down the internet is made up of backbone providers and large network companies that peer together at data centers. New players can join in, and I've heard bandwidth runs about $10K/month for 100 gigabit. In theory networks could black hole the traffic from going to that network. Google/Facebook/Twitter don't really matter so much (other than indexing) in this case, your "eyeball" networks like Comcast, Verizon, cell phone carriers and stuff do. Plus DNS. I doubt eyeball networks would censor it. It seems to be that Google, Twitter and Facebook have some kind of alliance together.
They can't do that unless the reinstate "net neutrality". At least I don't think they can.

He needs people like you in his advisor pool.
