      I mean, Trump is doing very well out of this. The people who listened to him and bought stock in the thing are another story.

            he already did, and the fucking let him squeak by on a 175m bond from an agency that wasnt technically financially able to do it.

              Not just financially unable, legally unable. They weren’t authorized to issue surety bonds in New York.

          Depends on how you define “working”.

          He managed to kill a non-profit that advised not advertising on Xitter because it’s a racist shithole. I don’t think it’s gonna bring back any advertisers, but with the help of a pet Texas judge he’s SLAPP suing his detractors out of existence.

            One could argue that the non profit has largely done its job at this point so it’s only a symbolic victory.

        I think he keeps bankrupting his companies so that he can update the list of his businesses in the book, creating new editions every few years. If you have an old copy, just burn it because the new ones are so much better with the newest info. In fact, after burning the old one, wait a bit for the new one to drop. He’s clearly getting ready to update the new one with DWAC and Trump Media.

        I think there’s a lock out period for him following the merger but I don’t know for how long. There’s still time for the stock (DJT) to plummet, with any luck.

          6 months. From April I think, so that would mean he can sell in October.

          The share price is absurd. Idiots buying because they want to support trump somehow. The shares are worthless but hapless idiots will pay stupid prices for them.

          He will start selling as soon as he can. I expect there will be a steady downward trajectory but who knows how fast and how low.

        It’s so fitting. Vodka is the cheapest alcohol you can make. It’s basically watered down ethanol. Overpriced vodka is so on-brand for a Trump. And he still couldn’t make a profit.

        I wonder why it still exists in Israel. I bet he sold the rights to it there and has nothing to do with the business.

      As soon as he sells it’s going to signal that he is done with the platform to all his “investors”, and will likely trigger a selloff until it craters and his base loses their money (not good to do until at least after the election).

        You make a good point, and yet I wouldn’t be shocked if many people were still rabid fans even if he sold it at their expense. There’s a lot of weird idolization around him, and seems like the kind of thing many of his fans would laud as his great business acumen, ignoring the negative impacts it had on them.

        It won’t be sold as a single block – the shares will just be placed on the market.

        I expect that he’ll sell for as a little as is necessary.

    And not a single one of his unbelievably stupid fans will sell their stock in it until he cashes out in a couple months. The absolute first second he’s allowed to sell his stake, that shit’s going to crater hard with all his Stans losing their life savings.

    The real treasure was all the grifts he did along the way.
