On an otherwise DOWN DAY on the market... Trump stock gains 40+%

Like I was saying last week... DWAC, soon to be DJT will serve as the next major slush fund for Trump.

Bottom line: Trump owns 79,000,000 shares...

When the stock goes up by $1, his net worth "on paper" goes up by $79,000,000

Earnings don't matter... or lack thereof...

As of today, Trump's stake in the company is 79 million x around 52/share...

Or 4+ billion dollars.

And it's all legal. Nothing illegal about ANYONE in the world buying US stocks.

I guaran-damn-tee you that the Saudis and probably the Russians are buying the stock.

IMHO, this is an IPO on the Oval Office. A way to funnel $$$ into Trump's pocket efficiently with no FEC, no PAC rules, no nothing...just a $$$ river to 1600 Pennsylvania. And everyone of those shareholders has a vested interest in DJT moving in so you know they'll be doing everything in their power to ensure that happens.

I think most people poo-poo this whole thing because they think those investors are the dummies paying billions for a company making 3 million a year. I mean...only a dummy would make that investment. Instead, look at that investment as buying a stake in what could be controlling interest of enterprise that is, in effect, the world's largest enterprise...the US Government.

there is no question that this is bring foreign investment into trump's pocket where he can launder it into self spending on his campaign. Just W.T.F.

GOTV.

The Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund can buy GM, F, AMD or Trump... no difference, legally.

This is the last grab for all the resources before the whole eco-system goes in the dumper. Now's the time to build as big a cushion as you can for you & yours.

There's no need for foreign governments to book ridiculously overpriced hotel rooms they never actually intend to stay in anymore. Now any dictators wanting to curry favor with the new Trump administration can just buy up huge amounts of stock in his otherwise money-losing media company.

He can't sell for 6 months. ie September.

If he starts dumping stock, it is going to tank then. I think there might be some reporting requirements that lets him delay when that information gets out but how long do you think the other investors are going to stick around if he heads for the door.

The question is how much value he can suck out of it on the way down.

We're talking about the stock being used by domestic and foreign entities to funnel money to Trump and possibly buy favor...

I don't see ANY "cheering"

It shows that even when the market is a down day... there is unusual buying pressure on the stock, DWAC.

Being the first day after the merger vote, this activity can only be explained by big money investors, possibly foreign... stepping in to pump up the stock.

And it's important to know that Trump holds 79m shares... a majority shareholder and he directly benefits from the stock price, much more than selling some hotel rooms to foreign visitors.

That isn't cheering, it's ANALYSIS... understand what's going on isn't a bad thing. Pay attention to hings and you understand WHY things happen.

After he wins in January, DWAC can be the foundation for TSF's consolidation of media and his Ministry of Social Truth.
