The Guardian -  Trump Media shares tank after company reveals plan to sell more stock

 

15 April 2024

 


Shares of the former president Donald Trump’s social media company slumped 12% on Monday, extending their string of losses, after the company said in a regulatory filing that it could sell millions of additional shares in coming months.

 

The filing showed a potential sale of 146.1m shares in Trump Media & Technology Group, including 114.8m shares owned by Trump himself. ...

 

Shares of the Truth Social parent company have retreated sharply since their market debut on 26 March, falling 60% from the opening price of $70.90.

Ouch, even if he could sell them, it aint much campain money let alone legal fees, hes alrealy spent nearly that on all his legal fees apparently.

When is the soonest date he could sell his shares?

 

Which of course would tank them even further, so who would even invest in that.....

Hes going to get the money fine for the gag order it sounds, which is like $1k. If he violates the gag order again, he will be asked if he understands if he does it again, he will be put in jail. I think his reply will be mumbled yes, he hates this, its against the "psyche" of the guy. Then it will be interesting to see if he spends 30 days behind bars. I doubt it would be somewhere like Rikers lol. 

I think he knows hes in trouble and hes lashing out as hes not in control anymore and the outcome whilst never certain, looks pretty concerning. 

 

Imagine if hes on house arrest for two years, he cant leave to campain so everything would be online and advertising. 

I so hope the Reaganites can dispose of this far right propaganda. MTGs comments on twitter about Ukraine were disgusting. But there are good Republicans who can work bipartisan to serve the people, the US needs to get back to that. I can see Nikki Haley becoming the first female president in 28, or giving it are dang good shot.

Yes he can.  Why would being under house arrest stop him from leaving?  It's just words that some crooked judge who's biased against him said, they don't apply to him.

Let's just say the abundance of evidence, leaves the judge with lots of rope to hang Trump (not literally)

Or Trump set fire to his life preserver even before the boat started to sink

From TFA:

 

He referred to Merchan in the Truth Social post as "the highly biased Judge in the Soros 'appointed' D.A. Alvin Bragg's Witch Hunt Case."

 

Dear Netanyahu,

 

This is what antisemitism looks like.  Not being critical of human rights violations in Gaza.

 

Love, Neb.

I expect Trump has been told that if he provokes the Judge and gets hammered.
He can then appeal on grounds of unfair treatment.
New appeal for a biased judge.
New appeal for biased New York 
New appeal for somethings his legal team have not thought of yet.

 

Judge will probably be careful to escalate in a way that gives no opening.

 

His lawyers will be milking this as much as possible as there is real campaign money now to pay them.
Just get those progress payments and cash them immediately!
Apparently Alena Hobba got at least 3.5M from whats been disclosed so far back in Jan.
There was probably more from other sources as well.

His old pal Giuliani working on Trumps word got very little. 
Roger Stone got the pardon. :-) 
Meanwhile Giuliani's son seems to still be in thrall of Trump.

Corrected the spelling of her name, but wait, what? A lawyer working for Trump got paid? By him personally? Or did he get one of his associates to pay her and Trump said he would "pay them back"?

Most of listened to have said this wont stall the case even if he tried.

 

Forbes saying Truth social could fall another 90%. eeek. 

 

and the ultimate shame, due to Truth social Trump is no longer listed as a billionaire. I reckon without Trump Towers he would have been hard pressed to pay the $500m odd. 

 

Just a losing the teflon. already a sxk civil case, seriously you would have to not read the internet or the Rus propaganda from MTG to have faith in this extreme right wing. Country over political party.

They were saying he was nodding off during the Johnson speech down at Maar-a-lago. Watching a short bit he definitely closes hiis eyes for a period but not jaw drop. People have to remember hes not that much younger than Biden and nowhere close to as fit. I liked what Biden said when asked if he would play a round of golf with Trump, Biden said, only if he carries his own bag lol.

I think this is the same as anthropomorphizing animals actions.

He's an impudent brat, whose gotten negative reinforcement his whole life.

It's like reasoning with a child throwing a fit on the floor of a toy store because he didn't get the latest squishmallows.

Trump is someone who is used to always being deferred to and getting his own way. He has limited self-discipline. Sitting in a chair all day while lawyers drone on about mostly obscure things is taxing to anyone. I am convinced he will have a total melt-down at some point in the trial. He will have real problems with this.

He may be having problems already, and the trial hasn't even started! https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-hush-money-trial-04-16-24/index.html

 

Judge reprimands Trump: The judge gave the former president a stern warning for visibly and audibly reacting to one of the potential jurors in court. "I will not have any jurors intimidated in the courtroom," Judge Juan Merchan said.
