Did the Truth Social app really copy its logo design?

Ah, the Truth Social app. Donald Trump's controversial app was released into the world yesterday, but already it's causing some issues. We'll hold our tongue about the ex-president and business mogul, but the logo for his brand new Truth Social app is a different matter. 

Not even 24 hours after the app was launched, it's landed itself in hot water with its logo design. The app has been released with a sparkling new logo that revolves around the letter T. However, people are claiming that the design is similar to the logo for fleet telematics and fuel efficiency company, TRAILAR (see below). Mr Trump's designers should've followed our golden rules of how to design a logo to avoid such controversies.
