Truth Social shares plunge again. If they go below 0, does that mean the company has to declare bankruptcy and shut down?

Given the rate its loosing money that will happen the same day as Trump is able to extract his payout and they stop propping it up to keep the share price as high as it is.

Short trading is basically risky betting that a stock will drop. It's theoretically possible for a short trader to have infinity losses, go bankrupt if the stock does well.

Short selling involves borrowing shares of a stock from a brokerage and selling them on the open market.

Traders do this when they believe that any stock’s price will decline, such as Trump's media.

Later, they buy back the same number of Trump shares (hopefully at a lower price) to return to the broker.

Shorting does indeed increased supply puts downward pressure on the stock’s price.

The volume of short trading activity determines how much the price drops.

Of course in the US any stock can be shorted, and it does without permission of the stock holder.

But they only become upset when it affects them personally. If they could make money shorting a Biden's own failing company, they'd do it quicker than you could say "invisible hand."

Hypocrites all. Before and after

AP News 2023: The Republican leading the probe of Hunter Biden has his own shell company and complicated friends

Rep. James Comer, a multimillionaire farmer, boasts of being one of the largest landholders near his rural Kentucky hometown
...
But there are 6 acres (2.4 hectares) that he bought in 2015 and co-owns with a longtime campaign contributor that he has treated differently, transferring his ownership to Farm Team Properties, a shell company he co-owns with his wife.

Interviews and records reviewed by The Associated Press provide new insights into the financial deal, which risks undercutting the force of some of Comer’s central arguments in his impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.

For months, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee and his Republican colleagues have been pounding Biden, a Democrat, for how his relatives traded on their famous name to secure business deals.
...
Washington Post 2024: James Comer refuses to learn anything from his investigation into Biden

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s angry effort to rebut the committee’s top Democrat, Jamie Raskin in the middle of a hearing on Wednesday got off to an unusually promising start. The now-discredited allegation that President Biden had taken a hefty bribe from a Ukrainian businessman was, in fact, not the “genesis” of the Republican-led investigation into Biden as Raskin had said; instead, it was merely one of several ultimately unproductive avenues of inquiry that Comer and his allies explored.

Then, goaded into a debate by Raskin, Comer quickly lost the high ground.

“If you believe that it would have been illegal for Joe Biden to take $5 million from Ukraine — it certainly would have been,” Raskin asked. “What do you think about Donald Trump taking more than $5 million from the Chinese government while he was president?”

Well. This doesn't seem dodgy at all 🙄

Also: https://au.news.yahoo.com/trump-favorite-judge-puts-mar-085347210.html >> God, this MAGA-judge Cannon does my head in. I really hope Trump loses now, so this case continues and he finally gets held accountable for his wrongdoing!

Is there any way to get her removed from the case? She's quite obviously not impartial in any way, shape or form, and just seems to be playing to Trump's whims and desires 😠

In 2015, Trump said in his speech that he buys Chinese goods because the prices are artificially cheap.

"A friend of mine is a great manufacturer. And, you know, China comes over and they dump all their stuff, and I buy it," Trump said. "I buy it, because, frankly, I have an obligation to buy it, because they devalue their currency so brilliantly. They just did it recently, and nobody thought they could do it again."

AliExpress has them for $50.

A Chinese shoe manufacturer marketing consultant very proudly said the sneakers are made by "Chinese OEM" and the production cost is very close to $50 mentioned.

Maybe Trump should sell golden shower shoes, for Americans wanting to travel to Moscow.

The NY Times - Timothy Mellon, Secretive Donor, Gives $50 Million to Pro-Trump Group

20 June 2024

Timothy Mellon, a reclusive heir to a Gilded Age fortune, donated $50 million to a super PAC supporting Donald J. Trump the day after the former president was convicted of 34 felonies, according to new federal filings ...

The donation’s impact on the 2024 race is expected to be felt almost immediately.

Within days of the contribution, the pro-Trump super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., said in a memo that it would begin reserving $100 million in advertising through Labor Day. ...

Mr. Mellon, who had previously put $25 million into the group over the last 12 months, now accounts for nearly half of what the group has raised in total. ...

... and what does Mr Mellon expect in return? 😁
