That would be the Bible that says you can sell your daughter into slavery, that you have to kill your brother if he plants 2 different crops side by side, and that promotes incest and infanticide ? Heaven help those that work on Sundays.

Left X to found Pedant Social in a quest for billions?

Incredibly fortunate that being punted off social media platforms to the joy of many, is exactly how Trump's ended up getting potential billions to pay of the other sordid things he's been involved with.

6 months wait, actually, unless he gets the combined company’s new board of directors to vote to allow Trump to sell his shares earlier than that. And the board is set to include his son Donald Trump Jr., as well as Linda McMahon and Robert Lighthizer, who were members of his administration.

I stand corrected.

That just leaves the tricky bit - getting someone to fork out money for the shares.  They're only worth what someone will pay.

Not really the way shares are sold or valued, in a publicly quoted company. They're worth what the Nasdaq values them at. In my opinion, they are a great investment, particularly if Trump becomes POTUS. It'll be the main social media platform for the US.

Bullshit Social is estimated to have 5 million users. TikTok has 2 billion, Facebook 3 billion. How many of those 5 million are outside the MAGA heartland ?

I agree with you, Truth Social is a great investment, probably the best investment ever.  I've been talking to some people, clever people, and a lot of them are saying this is biggest thing in investments since history began.

If I had a pot to piss in I'd be investing it in Truth Social for sure.  You should definitely do it.  Everything you own - would be mental not to.  Good luck mate!

Elon Musk purchased X, formerly known as Twitter, in October 2022 for $44 billion. Since then, its value has plunged 71.5%. In late 2023, a leaked memo from the social media platform showed that X valued itself at less than half its initial value—just $19 billion. Around the same time, Fidelity, the mutual fund giant that helped Musk purchase X, marked down the value of its shares in the privately-held company even more, putting its value somewhere between $15 and $16 billion. Twitter lost $221m in 2021, yet Musk still paid $44b for it. 
Truth Social will increase in value until Trump is elected. when its value will tank when Trump starts selling his stock. I reckon it'll double in value this year. I would invest $5,000 for a laugh, no more.

You know Truth Social IPO is a scam to funnel foreign money to Trump, right?

It's worth fuck all other than the temporary bump at the moment.

You're right that Twitter is a shit show since it was acquired by a drug-addled, right wing narcissist (Musk, not Trump).

It doesn't work like that. He can sell stock in the company in six months or take a dividend from retained profits, (ha ha), but he can't "siphon off" cash from a listed corporation. What he could also do is make sure the $300 million in cash is invested in assets that would make his shares increase in value. You don't really have a clue, do you? What do you think he is?

Yes, he'll sell all and the value will plummet. It's a pump and dump.

Probably a better option than his bibles or his trainers or his other dogshit merchandise.

I'm sure when he becomes POTUS again, he'll sort himself out with a presidential pardon. Then some more for his family.

Your hero Donald took his casinos public in 1996 and the company ended up bleeding cash before going bust and delisting in 2004.

Although the deal provides Trump will a decent amount of cash it co-incides with a cash crunch from his civil trials.

Although Trump cant technically sell his shares for at least 6 months, the Board of Directors, which includes his eldest son, could vote to allow his Dad to sell shares earlier than this.

This is likely to create a very significant downward pressure on the share price.

Meanwhile Truth Social made only $3.4m in sales in the first 9 months of 2023 and a net loss of $49m during the same period.

It also faces huge pressure from Meta, Facebook and X.

Still, I guess, this is nothing to deter his ardent supporters, like yourself, who continue to pile in.

For many of us, of a more prudent disposition, this seems to reflect the 2021 meme-stock craze and who would be foolish to discount the many failed businesses the world's most 'successfully successful business man of all time' has been involved in.

All those MAGA morons wanting to bring the Constitution closer to the Bible state that this is what the Founding Fathers intended. However:-

Thomas Jefferson;
"Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common Law"
"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty"
"Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man"

John Adams;
"The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion"

Thomas Paine;
"All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolise power and profit"

James Madison;
"Religion and government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together"

Benjamin Franklin;
"Lighthouses are more useful than churches"

George Washington, ( in the Treaty of Tripoli );
"As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion......"

 The collapse in the company’s share price reduced the value of Trump's position in TMTG from around $5.5bn dollars last week to about $3.5bn as of Monday evening. Volatile to be certain, but worthless before too long? If you believe that, Billy Big Bollocks, why don't you short the stock?

Unfortunately, it's not easy to short. There aren't enough shares around to be leant as there are not the levels of institutional investment one would normally see in a major IPO. The demand to short it is too high. 

If it could be more easily shorted, the price would have gone even lower by now.

The challenge for Trump is to get his money out without causing the price to completelt free fall and without extending his jail time.

Yup, all seems to be going to plan for The Donald and his family on the Truth Social Share offer.

He is now looking to sue a couple of his business partners for not doing what he told them to do.

Sick burn...

[spyinthesky]

Just imagine GM is your Financial Adviser and asks you to invest in a company where the CEO is a former career politician who has never run a major company.

The founder and chairman, the real driving force behind the company, has a record of multiple bankruptcies in sectors ranging from airlines to casinos and is facing several criminal charges.

The founder's son is one of the four main directors.

The founder himself is facing a cash crunch that means he may have to dump his large stake in the company after six months.
 
And, of course, the founder will be spending the next few months looking to take up another position.

Think back to Feb 2022 when Trump's previous incarnation Digital World Acquisition plunged from $84 to $25 and the new company, The Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) which is a merger with a SPAC, is likely to go the same way.

To be fair DJT has been able to muster 1 million monthly active users per annum (as per Mr Trump's figures, so assume less than half of that) which is what Twitter get in a day.

There is the suggestion that there is a planned TV and News service but both require patience and organisational skill nether of which is dear old Donald's forte.

As GM has mentioned there are possible upside if the Orange One wins the election (God forbid) but that could mean he will be too busy playing golf to set up a media empire but who knows.

I just wonder if his fans in the UK, eg Farage, Truss and co are piling in to help their bestest friend in the good old  USA??

Someone listened to me at the time I posted:

Quote

April 2 (Reuters) - Mohammed Al Shalloudi, a 21-year-old graduate data analyst in the United Arab Emirates who invested in Donald Trump's social media company, has little in common with the former U.S. president's political supporters.
Al Shalloudi bought shares in Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) (DJT.O), but not because he believes in the business of its app Truth Social or because he is a Trump fan. He is part of an army of speculators seeking a quick lucrative trade whose bets on TMTG have made it one of the most overvalued and actively traded U.S. stocks.

Al Shalloudi said he bought at $37 per share and cashed out late last week at $65 per share, clinching a 76% return on his $4,000 investment in just a few days. TMTG's stock closed on Monday at $48.66 after listing on Nasdaq last week in a deal that valued it at just $10 per share.
“It was a no-brainer. You buy the stock, wait for Trump's fan base to hear about it, and enjoy your profit,” Al Shalloudi said.

Reuters interviews with more than a dozen investors that posted about their positions on social media platforms such as Reddit (RDDT.N), opens new tab and X found that most were looking to score a quick profit.
They bet that Trump supporters' fascination with the stock was untethering TMTG's stock price from the company's business fundamentals.
