    If it’s worth anything at all at the time he can sell, he’s made money, likely Billions, Hundreds of Millions, Tens of Millions? I dunno, more than I’ll ever see. Money funneled to him for the express purpose of racial hatred, and to destroy American secular egalitarian Democracy. That he was able to do this, at all, is an indictment of how corrupt our institutions are.

        Not if he wins the election. “Mr president we’d like you to hear us out on why our company’s industry shouldn’t have to pay taxes. Also, unrelated, we’ve bought $100 million in ad space on Truth Social. Back to that tax thing…”

          The President has little to do with taxes, they will bribe the House for that. It’s way less than $100 million as well. The wealthy would be bribing Donald to put wholly unqualified far-right judges on benches, but he’ll be doing that anyway.

          Foreign adversaries would again have an avenue to purchase up-to-date state secrets, I suppose funneling ad money through Donald Social is a decent enough way to launder money to him.

            Not taxes literally. I meant it more as an example. There’s a reason Saudi Arabia spent way too much on Trump’s DC hotel.

        All the money in my pocket vs all the money in yours, says that’s not going to happen, there are far more people willing to throw good money after bad, to say nothing of institutional investors with money to “invest” in the support of Trump for what they can gain from Trump in the long term, than there are those who will tank the stock by shorting or selling out. Yours is a wish I too would like to see come true, though sadly, as we’ve seen, is only wishful thinking, with no basis in our communal experience thus far.

      At the rate it’s going, these won’t even be penny stocks by the time he cashes out. Anyone with a functioning brain knows what’s coming. The only people who are even interested in the stock right now are either the truly stupid/gullible/MAGA rubes and people who think they can make money shorting the stock.
