I’m trying to assume no 2nd Trump term for my mental health. Also I am, on the admitted basis of no special knowledge, worried that DJT stock is just a way for foreign money to get laundered and thus not subject to normal economics if he is reelected.
Every SPAC is a scam. I learned my lesson well before this trash, which is obviously a pump-and-dump scam even independently of involving a SPAC. I would rather burn my money than give it to Donald anyway.
Did he get quick cash? I read he’s not allowed to liquidate any of his shares until 6 months have passed, which at this rate is not looking good for him
Trump could sell billions in Truth Social stock early if a board consisting of his son and former colleagues agrees
I also seem to recall reading some discussion about whether he could borrow against it. I’m not sure how strong of an argument that latter route is, as borrowing against it is going to require finding someone who wants to lend against its future value.
EDIT: I haven’t really been paying much attention, but Forbes is pretty blunt about the prospects for shareholders.
EDIT2: I gotta say, if he burns a large chunk of the faithful during his presidential campaign, he might walk away with a bunch of their money, but I’d imagine that it wouldn’t be very good for his electoral prospects.
It would be ruined in Trump’s second term too. No one with real money bought that lie. He’s just making the middle class poor.

You and me both. I can’t do it again. 😩
He used the IPO to get some quick cash to pay the appeal bond on his NY lawsuit.
Except they’re wasn’t an IPO. They used a well-known shitty loophole to get by that.

As far as I’m aware, no, though my understanding is that the board can waive that requirement.
