Everything done on the cheap, slipshod, and sloppy. Chances are he will lose interest in about a week and it will sink into the swamp that is the Trump Crime Family shit show.

The Great SPAC Scam: Why SPACs Are a Great Deal for Celebrity Sponsors, But Not Companies or Normal Investors

If I asked you what Shaquille O’Neal, Gary Cohn, Bill Ackman, Paul Ryan, Colin Kaepernick, A-Rod, Ciara, and Chamath all had in common, you might have said, “They’re rich and famous!”

Or you might have said that you agree or disagree with their political views.

But as of last year, there’s a new answer to this question: they all have SPACs, otherwise known as Special Purpose Acquisition Companies.

However, a more accurate abbreviation is “SCAMs” – since that’s what they are to most normal investors and normal companies....

But leave it to Spanky to steal an idea from an insufferable scumbag like Zuck. Easy money he said. Never had an original idea in his life, but then, neither did Zuck. But even a sure bet in the hands of Hair Fuhrer circles the gold plated toilet-think "casino."

is. I think I get it. Free money for elite tech savvy/investment types. Elizabeth Holmes is hardly the only one, just one that flamed out spectacularly. Which again explains the meteoric rise and fall of MAGATbook. Thank you for the info.

people invested 300 million dollars and weren't aware that it was Trump's platform. I find that pretty hard to believe, if someone is that stupid they deserve to lose their money.

He does not want to do this. The platform will absolutely be destroyed by hackers and end up another humiliation. Stick to the right wing fake news stations and silly press releases.

One night in late October,
When I was far from sober,
Returning with my load with manly pride,
My feet began to stutter,
So I lay down in the gutter,
And a pig came near and lay down by my side;
A lady passing by was heard to say:
"You can tell a man who boozes,
By the company he chooses,"
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.
