Anyone on Trump Social yet?

I totally forgot that Devin Nunes was trolled so hard on Twitter that he left politics and went to Safe Space social media.

Devin Nunez’ Cow was hilarious.

Up to $38 after Trump gets more shares to dilute the value. This is almost game stop crazy.

I’m assuming it’s too late to try to make money off this circus?

If he loses the Presidency, the stock will likely go belly up within a year. If he wins the Presidency it’s no telling how high it will go as basically it’s unregulated donations by foreign entities to buy Presidential access.

It is. It’s not the WSB crowd this time, that sub thinks the stock is a joke and they don’t seem keen on being long. So it’s probably exactly what you think driving prices higher. I knew the risk.

SEC has shut them down now.

As a layperson in this space, I’m guessing there will be no repercussion for Trump nor Trump Media, except maybe a hit to the stock price.

Unless there is some paper trail or testimony that Trump Media officials knowingly selected Borgers because they’d get an inappropriately unproblematic audit from them, it’s likely just another case on the massive pile of fraudsters who are all entirely coincidentally closely associated with Trump.

You don’t usually hire shady auditors like this one on a whim.

Someone (somwehere) made a few calls and paid a bunch of money to the right people.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven now.

Selection choice could easily have been “who’s the lowest cost provider?” without worrying about quality. More worrisome would have been “which auditor doesn’t ask too many questions?”.

I would put good money that enough people knew the auditor was shady. Very possible Trump himself didn’t know because it’s a technical detail and he’s a little preoccupied farting himself awake, but I bet enough powerful allies know Trump’s MO of “whatever is cheapest is good”, and probably had accounting problems (accidental or total fraud) and needed to get their finances checked off for the IPO.

But like so many of his corrupt allies, Trump will have barely heard of Borgers, they were basically coffee aides and if they were fradulent, it’s very sad what they did.

He’s just a very unlucky man to be surrounded by so many fraudsters. Truly a modern-day Jesus Mandela.

Newsweek is sadly no longer a legitimate source of news and skews heavy sensationalistic. But this is something that actually happened. CNBC link instead:

Truth Social lost $16 million last quarter, with revenue of < $1 million

OTOH,

Trump Media said it ended the quarter with $344 million in cash and cash equivalents, with no debt.

They can lose $16 million/quarter for a long time before they chew through their nest egg.

I assume that Trump believes he will figure out a way to monetize it when he is president.

I’m going to assume it’s 50/50 grift and a way to minimize taxes while transferring wealth to his kids. The whole thing is a joke.

Yeah the whole business model is having foreign governments bribe Trump by laundering money through Truth Social.

Closes at post merger low. Folks bailing before the Don-Old can start dumping shares?

If you knew that 60% of a company with virtually no revenue and no profit was about to be available for sale by somebody just convicted of 34 felonies with half a billion in fraud judgments and numerous other trials pending, would you keep that holding?

Seems all the smart money, probably including a lot of foreign investors are backing out. If Trump sells a huge chunk, they can wait for the election and decide whether Trump is useful again.

Would you have even bought in the first place?
Oh, yeah, he might become president and be my friend or I could be his political enemy and strung up somewhere… Choices…

You better believe he is writing down those sellers.
