Date: March 26th, 2024 2:46 PM Author: Ultramarine useless brakes Stock ticker of Truth Social is DJT --> It's literally just a way for large companies and donors to fund DJT's campaign and get around campaign finance laws. Pretty ingenious. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5509536&forum_id=2#47528926) |

Date: March 26th, 2024 3:11 PM Author: Irradiated potus school those don't make enough to run a potus campaign. they need actual big money from richmos. unless you're a democrat a la hunter biden you can't just brazenly do shit like selling "art" as a wink and nod donation.
truth social is a legit company and, mostly importantly, the price is set by the market. trump is the only guy with an enthusiastic enough base to pull something like this off. i mean, how many people would invest in biden's Senile.Social? |

social media isn't enough to fund a potus campaign. |

Date: March 26th, 2024 3:29 PM Author: Irradiated potus school welcome back LTM.
trump owns over 50% of trust.social, and his stake is valued at about $6b. the value of the stock is propped up by a lot of individual investors who are trump supporters. because they buy the stock, the price increases, and so does the value of trump's stake in the company. if you need any other finance 101 lessons please lmk.

Date: March 26th, 2024 3:33 PM Author: ivory school cafeteria travel guidebook Aren't his shares locked up? How will it finance his campaign? It's a meme stock pump. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5509536&forum_id=2#47529094) |

Date: March 26th, 2024 3:38 PM Author: Irradiated potus school 1) do you believe a lock-up period is required under sec regulations?
2) as 50%+ owner of truth, which is trading under his initials DJT, do you suppose that trump *may* be able to persuade the board to waive the lock-up period?
3) if trump desperately needed this money, considering you think his financial situation is precarious, then why did would he have agreed to the lock-up period in the first place? |

Date: March 26th, 2024 3:53 PM Author: ivory school cafeteria travel guidebook this isn't responsive to anything I said. People are not buying the stock in lieu of a donation. It's a typical SPAC-meme stock. Just more fraud bs that Trump is making money from. Even worse than Trump U. The board could face a shareholder derivative suit if they let trump off the lockup and the stock tanked. Maybe they'll eat the risk anyway. He agreed to it because the other side required it and he needed the company merged to the SPAC to go public? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5509536&forum_id=2#47529188) |

Date: March 26th, 2024 3:57 PM Author: Irradiated potus school i actually liked you as a thoughtful moderate. i wonder when you contracted full blown TDS? you're absolutely bonkers if you think any derivative suit with those facts would be successful.
regardless, i think they're pretty responsive. trump could certainly have found a bank to underwrite his ipo without a lockup provision. the fact he went with one anyway should give you some clue as to how precarious his finances are. the stock is not being purchased by institutional investors, it's being bought by individual trump fans, who don't give two shits about a lock-up period and don't even know what that is. you think the price would be significantly different if trump didn't agree to a lock up? you think people are rationally investing in this stock? no, it's just people who like trump. |

Date: March 26th, 2024 4:15 PM Author: ivory school cafeteria travel guidebook dumb individual investors are buying it because they absolutely think they will make money from it. It's another meme-stock or SPAC fraud. I don't see it as a means of some campaign finance fraud, where there's a maxed-out donor making some phony investment to evade limits or straw donors (both of which are illegal). These aren't sophisticated people who would ever max out their donations to the campaign. That's all I'm saying. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5509536&forum_id=2#47529265) |

Date: March 26th, 2024 4:19 PM Author: Irradiated potus school if by "funding" you are referring specifically to campaign funding, i guess. but regardless this is still "funding" trump in the literal, non-specific use of the word. and it devastating to your repeated belief that you believe trump is struggling financially.
without selling the stock trump could get the board to allow a carve out allowing him to pledge it as collateral for loans. this avoids him tanking the stock and would give him access to billions in cash. |

Date: March 26th, 2024 3:29 PM Author: Ultramarine useless brakes DJT owns a large portion of the company and can cash out at anytime, being able to use the money from anonymous donors, in any way he sees fit (no longer subject to campaign finance laws), and the valuation of the company is way off.
