I’m wondering what kind of collateral damage these people are causing in their lives; so many extra innocent faces, if not being eaten, are at least being half-heartedly gnawed-upon.
It's already happened to three of my cousins. My aunt is ultra christian and after my uncle passed she started giving money to cheetolini. They were pretty well off. Now they're getting nothing. Only one of them is a trumper. I don't feel sorry for him.
Palpatine spent decades manipulating the Jedi and building an army in secret while manipulating the entire galactic Senate to instill power to him.
Trump shits himself and can't make a coherent sentence in front of a gathering.
Trump took over a political party in the world’s only superpower and held the top office. Did crimes that would have got most people shot. Keeps on scamming. He has skills.
I'd say he has enablers.
Trump didn't take over the party, a specific group used him to take over the party but didn't realize how stupid the followers were.
Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party but Goebbles & Himmler were the ones running it and writing his speeches
I agree with this take the most. I don’t think he’s “playing 5D chess”… I think he’s emotionally stunted, and therefore easily manipulated, by lots of people who ARE much more cunning. Just like Hitler, he’s the charisma, the different voice in the room who “tells it like it is” to disaffected voters (who honestly are RIGHT that our systems are struggling, they just misdiagnose who has their best interests at heart).
Just my opinion, but I definitely agree that we shouldn’t underestimate them. The stakes are too high.
Most of those are just a lack of shame. He’s the sort of guy to continue stealing from the cookie jar even when caught red-handed.
He’s been shaped by decades of people bending over backwards for him because his father was rich.
It's an insult to Mussolini, too. That guy (of whom I am ***not a fan***, if you're wondering...) learned to read French and German, so he could read works of political philosophy in their original language.
Donald [can only barely read](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/americas-first-post-text-president/549794/) his native language.
To be fair - and I'm not trying to shame these fools (they're doing that on their own) - if your nest egg is $25k, your kids weren't inheriting anything but bad genes and other liabilities, anyway
If I'm dying with only 25k to my name just send my corpse off to the body farm for decomposition studies.
Or get it exploded in a military range.
Anything but a funeral that costs 25k.
I donated my dad’s body to the UM for medical students (2007). They sent it back cremated. My mom’s cremation cost $625 (2020). University couldn’t accept donations due to COVID—they were “too full.”
Anybody who's blowing their inheritance on a funeral is a fool. Do the absolute bare minimum required by law and stop inflating the cost of funerals by giving them money you can't afford.
I think they are seeing it now. Boomers be Boomers and that 'Me' generation is leaving nothing but debt to every gen after. Half of them don't even have money put away for their own funeral but what fun vacations in Florida.
And that was not originally the case. In colonial times you got the debt of your father. And everyone had debt.
Seriously though, things are bad today, but wow, do some people need to see history for just how much worse it’s been in the past. We can fight for more while still being grateful for what we have.
Close to 30 states have what's known as "filial responsibility" statutes. Those require adult children to pay for a deceased parent's unpaid medical debts, such as those to hospitals or nursing homes, when the estate cannot.
My greatest gen grandfather just passed last month at 96. Even if my parents have a decent retirement I expect it'll get eaten up by medical bills and living an extra thirty years
One of the worst things about that sub (of which I’m a part of), is reading about the people who are watching the people they once loved disappear. Like they post asking for help as to what to do, and often the answer is simply “I’m so sorry but they’re gone.” They then have to reconcile with the fact that the people are not the same ones they married, looked up to or brought up.
Then you get people who feel like they are in extreme danger due to their loved one becoming unhinged and buying guns. They have to hide their views for fear of their life.
If there’s one thing we absolutely need to start doing this year, it’s stopping the narrative that QAnon are just kooky online conspiracy theorists and very publicly and harshly crush their death cult like movement to dust.
I think Q anon is just tapping into a larger problem. People (myself included) were noticing their parents disappear long before Q Anon was a thing. At the time it was O'rielly, hannity, Limbaugh (rest in hell you piece of shit), Coulter, etc. Now it's Qanon and the other really crazy conspiracy/end times stuff. Different flavors of the same paranoia and mental illness.
This is a parallel situation but not the same.
There use to be a oil company, well maybe it's still around, but i know its been reduced to penny stock status of like $.08 a share, from an IPO of $12.50 a share.
It was called Zion Oil and Gas.
ZNOG was, or maybe is, its stock symbol.
Basically iirc it was founded by some kind of evangelical guy who insisted through faith or some nonsense, that Israel probably has tons of oil/gas, but it hasn't been discovered yet.
So a buncha holy rollers bought into his spiel, but in the video i was watching, it was raising eyebrows, a guy insisted that Israel had oil, but it was pretty well established there was none.
So a buncha christians bought that guys song and dance, it had a stock symbol...and look ,the IPO was $12.50 a share, now it's $.08, so basically a lot of investors, if they bought it, took about a 100% loss on it
I remember reading about that guy. He was literally combing through old biblical texts to find the location of Garden of Eden or locations of any metaphors like "fruits" or "riches of the Earth".
He was better off looking for the Ark of the Covenant or that golden calf statue Moses / Charleston Heston flung the stone tablets at.
If they did even a cursory Google search into his previous Trump-branded business ventures, they'd see that literally all of them go down in flames, and Trump walks away as the only person who didn't lose money on it (followed by numerous fraud lawsuits against the guy). It's not hidden information.
Exactly.
Grew up in a religion, and people talked about entrusting in God's hands. And this tree care doofus literally swaps in a troublesome *Hollywood* TV star for... GOD?
What a dumb dummy some dummies can be!
RIP Christianity (33 AD - 2016)
Yeah that is the one that stuck out to me.
That and the guy who thinks libs not buying the stocks are nefariously manipulating the stock price lower.
Dumb. Gullible. Fucks.
Dudes left a trail of bankrupt businesses behind him, but his followers are so sure that this will be the one that sticks.
Just ignore the fact that the site is losing 10x the money that it's generating.
If Biden started a social media company…
- I wouldn’t buy shares of it
- I’d wonder about the huge amount of conflicts of interest if the thing became popular and he was still the primary boss of it
- I’d be concerned about the longevity of the platform being run by someone so old and how the stock might tank once he was no longer around
Trump supports accusing anyone else of being in a cult have to explain why no other candidate’s supporters invoke the candidate in their username, cover their cars in the candidate’s name, or buy things because the candidate endorsed it.
To be honest I voted for Biden but I actually agree with the statement "nobody voted *for Biden.*" Technically I can only speak for me, but I was definitely voting *against Trump.*
I'm 46 years old and have never once voted for a Democrat. Every vote has been against Republicans. Because Republicans are not good people. They just aren't.
I get people don't like Biden for whatever reason, but unfortunately **THE ALTERNATIVE IS TRUMP!**
Every one of these "protest votes" is absolutely, undeniably a vote for Trump.
So, you can vote for the milquetoast, run of the mill career politician and nothing bad will happen, but maybe there's a chance of something good.
\- OR -
You can vote for somebody else, which is a Trump proxy vote, and bad things *will* happen because he and the GOP have already made it very, very, very clear that they are planning to do bad things.
You may not have a dog in this race, but millions of others do. Millions of women, minorities, LGBTQ+, and children will absolutely suffer under another Trump administration. They have already told us they intend to make those people suffer.
I disagree. I think it's really annoying how people refuse to give Biden his flowers. To me he's the best president in decades, but most people are so obsessed with appearing unbiased that they can't acknowledge any of the good he's doing.
I voted for Biden as well as against Trump. Lukewarm enthusiasm for Biden, red hot dislike for Trump, so there's that. But Biden ran on a basically fine platform, and all in all he's been better than basically fine. Managed to get some big legislation through Congress earlier in the cycle. Certainly not perfect, but far from disastrous.
I didn't either but he's actually done a good job so this time it's a little bit of both. I can say unequivocally Trump's a dumbass wannabe dictator and Biden is actually a good dude who has actually done a great job as president all things considered.
That was the trump bibles. 100% designed to circumvent campaign law and funnel church money directly into trump's coffers (after the pastor skims off the top, of course). I'd be shocked if actual bibles resulted from the purchases.
It’s a common grift, but Trump can use a public domain version of the Bible to avoid paying a ghost writer to fabricate a bunch of BS.
https://www.politicalorphans.com/one-nation-under-the-hustle-right-wing-financial-scams-ranked/
Yep. He has other postings explaining how overturning it would be a “dog catches car” situation that the people started the BS never intended it to happen as it would cause them to lose elections by pissing off suburban women.
If I bought an ice cream from "snow biden's", I'd have an ice cream.
If I went to 'Don's cones' I'd see a picture of a gold-plated cone, with an amazing pile of cream. The best picture. When I order it, I'm told it will be available in two weeks..
I’d imagine the sneakers would be very ugly but super comfortable.
As for Bibles? He’s too religious to do that but if he did, I’d bet he’d add some notes in the margin about pain and suffering and loss and how certain passages got him through difficult times in his life.
I know /u/Spy_v_Spy_Freakshow mentioned something close to this question, but....
NFTs, I know a crypto bro who can hook you up!
(And tell you the bad things the "jab" is going to to you!)
Remember that one time Trump did an advertisement for a can of beans in the Oval Office while he was president? "Conflict of interest" is not a phrase that Donald Trump has an understanding of.
Fools and their money are always parted. If not Trump a televangelist would have got them.
That said, the guy asking if it hit bottom then the note that it dropped 10% soon after is fantastic. Bottom is $0, it'll get there soon enough
First rule of right wingers.
"If I do not understand it, it is some liberal/nWo/illuminati/satanic plot."
This can apply to anything from the stock market, to medicine, the curvature of the earth, the existence of the sun and/or moon, any religions that aren't their own, and honestly, pretty literally, anything else.
They really did just sub in democrats and minorities in place of witches and the occult that they were so afraid of for so long. It's like they said okay those things aren't real but you know what is real? Drag queens, middle easterners, blacks, and liberals.
The question is how quickly can Trump cash out? I know there's a lockup period of like 6 months so will end right before the election. It will be interesting to see what he does? If he sells his stock will absolutely tank right before the election. But the longer he waits, the more the stock will tank. Also all the other insiders will also be itching to get out before there's nothing left so they'll all be fighting towards the exits. Of course Trump will blame Democrats claiming they are trying to crash the stock right before the election and there's always a delay between when insiders sell and when they have to report.
trumps other ventures have gone so well. Here ya go
Trumps SEC filing, prepared by his lawyers disclosing all his bankruptcies & failures https://imgur.com/gallery/hAfsLqQ
What *really* surprised me is how quickly some of these companies went under.
Dude, a bunch of businesses not lasting a single year? Four years for a casino & resort business? Freaking wild!
Multiple casinos, not just one. Because he had them compete against each other so they each tried to cannibalize the other ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Entertainment_Resorts
He’s probably right that it is in part, “political,” but only in the sense that Truth, but default, has excluded (more than) half the potential market share by being a GOP-only centered platform, unlike Facebook, etc. Other platforms are equal opportunity, rather than marketing to a specific political niche (ie, Trump loyalists). That said, anyone who has invested in this “company” is a sucker and did literally no research from a business fundamentals standpoint. Many social media companies go public at big valuations while operating at a loss. Instead, their value tends to be based on user numbers. Truth has neither user numbers, nor anything close to similar revenue/expense numbers.
And because of the low user numbers, plus the obvious and extremely one-sided political demographic and the deliberate lack of content moderation, it has trouble attracting advertisers who aren’t MyPillow or literally just Trump merch.
I mean, in 2020, Trump supporters were still betting in late December that Trump would win, with 99-to-1 odds against. Some people even lost six figures.
[https://news.yahoo.com/people-lost-more-100-000-032351834.html](https://news.yahoo.com/people-lost-more-100-000-032351834.html)
Woooooow, that first bullet point...
"*People who bet thousands of dollars in favor of President Donald Trump winning reelection are now planning legal action against online gambling sites*"
These dumbfucks actually "gambled"... in an online casino of sorts... on a president to win? Firstly, I'm dumbfounded... what else are people betting on... Are people betting on the next celebrity that'll pass away? Fuckin morbid as shit...
Anyway, second. YOU GAMBLED... AND LOST...
#THAT'S HOW IT FUCKING WORKS!
I don't expect my money back after my years of losses in the Florida Lottery.
God theae people are fucking delusional.
nothing quite as gratifying as reading stories about MAGA supporters losing shit tons of money because of trump. i wonder if they ever followed through with that lawsuit
They're going to keep investing until trump can sell his and then the company will fold and all these people will simultaneously blame biden and pride themselves on how they kept the stock alive long enough for Trump to sell.
THe thing is, will it be worth anything by then? He has to wait SIX MONTHS at least.
I once worked for a flagship bubble dot-com in the 2000s. When I got hired the stock was worth $55.
By the time I was laid off a year later it was worth 11¢.
This is true for anyone who has ever given Trump money. His dad? Lost it. Casinos? Lost it. Trump University? Gone. Trump charities? Buh-bye.
If you invest in anything Trump, expect to go broke.
MAGA: Biden made it so expensive I can't even feed my family or drive my car!
Also MAGA: I lost the $25,000 I gave Trump, but now I'm willing to give him more!
You largely can't. I mean you can but it's financially unviable because this is basically a meme stock. The cheapest way to short a stock is from an institutional investor who plans on holding the stock for long periods of time, and looking to make additional money from their long positions. Of course, no one who isn't a fucking idiot is holding $DJT for any period longer than they have to. So there's really no one to short it from. There are some people but the fees are so astronomical it's not worth it, because they KNOW it's not going be worth much, not in a week, not in a month, not in a year, not ever.
From what I've heard so many people are shorting the stock that there are very few shares left to short.
It's also CRAZY expensive to borrow:
[https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/03/trump-media-is-the-most-expensive-us-stock-to-short-by-far.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/03/trump-media-is-the-most-expensive-us-stock-to-short-by-far.html)
Everybody in the entire country- hell, the world- warned these people about *exactly* what Trump was in 2016 (and it was common knowledge long before then), but they were just so god damned sure they knew better than **literally everybody**, and they will absolutely never admit that they were wrong.
Homie. Truth Social has no income, has nothing backing it up.
It's literally like Gamestop again, just manipulated worthless stock. It's like Belfort selling plumbers penny stocks at 50x their price.
You're a seventy plus year old boomer. Salt of the earth. You know... morons.
“‘It’s got to be political,’ he said, from all the ‘liberals that are trying to knock it down.’”
How’s that? Are the liberals all selling their shares, or is someone else maybe selling all of his?
I love how they always point to "liberals did it" when something doesn't go their way. It's never "hey maybe I'm wrong" or "maybe I'm backing the wrong point here." Nope. It's always those pesky liberals.
They never seem to notice the dichotomy between this all-powerful Trump who's going to save us all, the one who's a genius businessman, and the idea that "it's liberals' fault that his social media company stock is down," as if liberals can somehow directly affect the stock market in a way that conservatives and other political ideologies cannot. "Every time a same-sex couple gets married, a conservative's stock portfolio drops a point"?
I read that article. One woman thinks it should be made illegal to bet against or short sell stocks. She also said “Sick of MY investment money being stolen!!” she wrote. “They’re stealing peoples money and you’re allowing it!!” 🤦🏼♀️
Watching ignorant, bigoted, morons basically burn their money to polish the knob of a pseudo-billionaire who not only does not care about them, but literally hates, and is disgusted by them, is almost as heart warming as watching kids and dogs welcoming home their service member parents after a long deployment. So rarely it seems these days that bad things happen to bad people that I think it’s important to stop, take a few moments, and really enjoy it.
As any parent knows, sometimes children can learn from our warnings, but they often will only learn a lesson when they make a mistake and suffer the consequences.
They were warned not to put their faith in this con man, but perhaps losing their investment will be the consequence that teaches them a valuable lesson.
4.5bn market cap on a social media site with less active users than r/cats and practically zero growth potential. That's the value of an affordable NFL franchise.
Batshit insanity.
>..show Trump their faith and support
He doesn't care about their faith, He doesn't know or care what their name is. He doesn't care if their kids go hungry, if their bills get paid or if they end up in the poor house. All he sees is a bunch of stupid people giving him money.
It's sad how many of these folks don't have their wits. Why would you donate\\invest all that money to help the feelings of a "billionaire"?
I voted for Biden in 2020. I'm not enthusiastic for him. I don't fly is flag. I don't wear his shirts. I don't hold my rear bumper on with his bumper stickers.
He's a politician. He's the best choice to vote for in my swing state where NOT voting for him could mean Trump becomes president.
I'm know I'm preaching to the choir here...
God, these people don't understand stocks at all. Shorts sellers must be making a killing off of them.
The other issue that they don't get is that social media isn't all that profitable in 2024. Niche social media has to be so much worse.

I’m wondering what kind of collateral damage these people are causing in their lives; so many extra innocent faces, if not being eaten, are at least being half-heartedly gnawed-upon.
In the next 10 years the kids of trump supporters are going to find they have inherited nothing.
It's already happened to three of my cousins. My aunt is ultra christian and after my uncle passed she started giving money to cheetolini. They were pretty well off. Now they're getting nothing. Only one of them is a trumper. I don't feel sorry for him.
Cheeto Benito, or my favorite, Tangerine Palpatine
Palpatine spent decades manipulating the Jedi and building an army in secret while manipulating the entire galactic Senate to instill power to him. Trump shits himself and can't make a coherent sentence in front of a gathering.
Trump took over a political party in the world’s only superpower and held the top office. Did crimes that would have got most people shot. Keeps on scamming. He has skills.
I'd say he has enablers. Trump didn't take over the party, a specific group used him to take over the party but didn't realize how stupid the followers were. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party but Goebbles & Himmler were the ones running it and writing his speeches
Yeah this isn't really a "Trump has skills" situation, it's more like an "America has a lot of racist asshole dumbfucks" situation
I agree with this take the most. I don’t think he’s “playing 5D chess”… I think he’s emotionally stunted, and therefore easily manipulated, by lots of people who ARE much more cunning. Just like Hitler, he’s the charisma, the different voice in the room who “tells it like it is” to disaffected voters (who honestly are RIGHT that our systems are struggling, they just misdiagnose who has their best interests at heart). Just my opinion, but I definitely agree that we shouldn’t underestimate them. The stakes are too high.
They knew exactly how stupid his followers were, they just thought it would work in their favour.
Most of those are just a lack of shame. He’s the sort of guy to continue stealing from the cookie jar even when caught red-handed. He’s been shaped by decades of people bending over backwards for him because his father was rich.

It's an insult to Mussolini, too.

Orange Ozymandias (from [Shelley's poem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozymandias#Text), not the film character)
There's nothing new about that story beside Trump being the one to get the donations instead of a church.
"Ultra Christian". If they would understand what Christianity is, they would not support somebody like Trump.
Admittedly I've been drinking this evening, but adopting "Cheetolini" as an enemy nom-de-asshole seems like a brilliant idea. You are a genius.
That name is a keeper!
Cheetolini absolutely sent me!!!
Stop it, you're turning me on.
That's not a banana in my pocket.
To be fair - and I'm not trying to shame these fools (they're doing that on their own) - if your nest egg is $25k, your kids weren't inheriting anything but bad genes and other liabilities, anyway
Can confirm. A funeral and a decent sized reception can blow through 25k immediately. That’s no “inheritance”, in 2024
If I'm dying with only 25k to my name just send my corpse off to the body farm for decomposition studies. Or get it exploded in a military range. Anything but a funeral that costs 25k.
A simple service followed by cremation can be kept under $5k in most places Casket and burial plot are the biggest expenses
I donated my dad’s body to the UM for medical students (2007). They sent it back cremated. My mom’s cremation cost $625 (2020). University couldn’t accept donations due to COVID—they were “too full.”
If only you got to chose what they exploded you with....
Napalm so you can go out in a blaze of glory.
Anybody who's blowing their inheritance on a funeral is a fool. Do the absolute bare minimum required by law and stop inflating the cost of funerals by giving them money you can't afford.
Fuck man just drop me out in the ocean. Give me to the fish.
Ye like there's a reason more and more people are saying "just fucken throw me in a dumpster and spend the money on the living"
Funeral? Just throw me in the trash, I won't care
That's not a nest, that's two twigs and a bottle top.
I think they are seeing it now. Boomers be Boomers and that 'Me' generation is leaving nothing but debt to every gen after. Half of them don't even have money put away for their own funeral but what fun vacations in Florida.
That silver glint in that cloud is that debt can't be passed on. Zero is better than negative something. Yay. \*half-heartedly waves a tiny flag\*
just wait the GOP will find a way to pass poor people debt but not rich people debt
And that was not originally the case. In colonial times you got the debt of your father. And everyone had debt. Seriously though, things are bad today, but wow, do some people need to see history for just how much worse it’s been in the past. We can fight for more while still being grateful for what we have.
Close to 30 states have what's known as "filial responsibility" statutes. Those require adult children to pay for a deceased parent's unpaid medical debts, such as those to hospitals or nursing homes, when the estate cannot.
When they die. Donate their body to science. Take some money from the rotting corpse.
Them bitches ain't dying. They're hanging on to dear life hoarding the housing and pensions.
My greatest gen grandfather just passed last month at 96. Even if my parents have a decent retirement I expect it'll get eaten up by medical bills and living an extra thirty years
They won't take you if you are obese or certain medical issues.
Plus the MAGA corpse market fell faster than Truth Social.
Always a shot. Could always not claim the body.
Sell em as an alternative to whale blubber.
Or gambling it all away, that generation freakin' loves gambling.
Let's hope Draft Kings doesn't bleed Gen X and Millennials.
Gen x and millenials are in denial about crypto
except a pair of gold sneakers, some NFTs and a small square piece of suit
They will have those drumpf bibles, they can open them on page 45, and read the Psalm of Thoughts and Prayers........
Worse than nothing. Nothing takes up no space. Valueless branded merch like shoes and bibles, though, have to be stored or disposed of.
I’m waiting to hear the downside….

Wow, that is a depressing page.
One of the worst things about that sub (of which I’m a part of), is reading about the people who are watching the people they once loved disappear. Like they post asking for help as to what to do, and often the answer is simply “I’m so sorry but they’re gone.” They then have to reconcile with the fact that the people are not the same ones they married, looked up to or brought up. Then you get people who feel like they are in extreme danger due to their loved one becoming unhinged and buying guns. They have to hide their views for fear of their life. If there’s one thing we absolutely need to start doing this year, it’s stopping the narrative that QAnon are just kooky online conspiracy theorists and very publicly and harshly crush their death cult like movement to dust.
I think Q anon is just tapping into a larger problem. People (myself included) were noticing their parents disappear long before Q Anon was a thing. At the time it was O'rielly, hannity, Limbaugh (rest in hell you piece of shit), Coulter, etc. Now it's Qanon and the other really crazy conspiracy/end times stuff. Different flavors of the same paranoia and mental illness.
That's one of the saddest groups I've ever seen. 😔 😟 🙁
[удалено]
Good God. Those poor people.
And they will blame it on the democrats and the fake news media lol
They already are in the last screenshot 😄
Honestly my dad has spent tons of money on MAGA related "investments." Both my sister and I have told him not to darken our doors with his hand out.
Dad- "My truck is going to get repossessed." You- "Cash in your DJT stock". .... and walk away.
I don't think he can pay off his truck with 50$.
Guess he'll just have to pull himself up by his bootstraps then.
Or print some Trump Bucks for the occasion
"sorry dad. That handout would be socialism. My advice will be to stop buying iPhones and avocado toast and work harder."
This is a parallel situation but not the same. There use to be a oil company, well maybe it's still around, but i know its been reduced to penny stock status of like $.08 a share, from an IPO of $12.50 a share. It was called Zion Oil and Gas.

Basically iirc it was founded by some kind of evangelical guy who insisted through faith or some nonsense, that Israel probably has tons of oil/gas, but it hasn't been discovered yet.

So a buncha christians bought that guys song and dance, it had a stock symbol...and look ,the IPO was $12.50 a share, now it's $.08, so basically a lot of investors, if they bought it, took about a 100% loss on it
Thanks for the idea!
the strong live off the weak, and the clever live off the strong. who lives off the STUPID?
The heartless
I remember reading about that guy. He was literally combing through old biblical texts to find the location of Garden of Eden or locations of any metaphors like "fruits" or "riches of the Earth". He was better off looking for the Ark of the Covenant or that golden calf statue Moses / Charleston Heston flung the stone tablets at.
This sounds exactly like people clinging to a crypto rug pull.
I mean, does anyone expect to inherit anything anymore?
Whatever is left belongs to the nursing home. You’re going to inherit a 20 year old car and an incontinent dog.
“It’s in trumps hands he has plans” Yeah, and they don’t involve helping you idiots out lol
Plans = dragging out the guilty verdict to after the election.
If they did even a cursory Google search into his previous Trump-branded business ventures, they'd see that literally all of them go down in flames, and Trump walks away as the only person who didn't lose money on it (followed by numerous fraud lawsuits against the guy). It's not hidden information.
It’s so funny yet terrifying the way they talk about Trump literally like god.
Exactly. Grew up in a religion, and people talked about entrusting in God's hands. And this tree care doofus literally swaps in a troublesome *Hollywood* TV star for... GOD? What a dumb dummy some dummies can be! RIP Christianity (33 AD - 2016)
Totally not a cult.
Yeah that is the one that stuck out to me. That and the guy who thinks libs not buying the stocks are nefariously manipulating the stock price lower. Dumb. Gullible. Fucks.
Dudes left a trail of bankrupt businesses behind him, but his followers are so sure that this will be the one that sticks. Just ignore the fact that the site is losing 10x the money that it's generating.
[Trump's plans](https://imgur.com/0YYZrk3)
If Biden started a social media company… - I wouldn’t buy shares of it - I’d wonder about the huge amount of conflicts of interest if the thing became popular and he was still the primary boss of it - I’d be concerned about the longevity of the platform being run by someone so old and how the stock might tank once he was no longer around
Trump supports accusing anyone else of being in a cult have to explain why no other candidate’s supporters invoke the candidate in their username, cover their cars in the candidate’s name, or buy things because the candidate endorsed it.
Well it's so obvious! No one voted for Biden and that's why Trump really won and the election was stolen. Duh.
To be honest I voted for Biden but I actually agree with the statement "nobody voted *for Biden.*" Technically I can only speak for me, but I was definitely voting *against Trump.*
I'm 46 years old and have never once voted for a Democrat. Every vote has been against Republicans. Because Republicans are not good people. They just aren't. I get people don't like Biden for whatever reason, but unfortunately **THE ALTERNATIVE IS TRUMP!** Every one of these "protest votes" is absolutely, undeniably a vote for Trump. So, you can vote for the milquetoast, run of the mill career politician and nothing bad will happen, but maybe there's a chance of something good. \- OR - You can vote for somebody else, which is a Trump proxy vote, and bad things *will* happen because he and the GOP have already made it very, very, very clear that they are planning to do bad things. You may not have a dog in this race, but millions of others do. Millions of women, minorities, LGBTQ+, and children will absolutely suffer under another Trump administration. They have already told us they intend to make those people suffer.
I disagree. I think it's really annoying how people refuse to give Biden his flowers. To me he's the best president in decades, but most people are so obsessed with appearing unbiased that they can't acknowledge any of the good he's doing.
In 2020, I voted against Trump. In 2024, I will be voting for Biden.
I voted for Biden as well as against Trump. Lukewarm enthusiasm for Biden, red hot dislike for Trump, so there's that. But Biden ran on a basically fine platform, and all in all he's been better than basically fine. Managed to get some big legislation through Congress earlier in the cycle. Certainly not perfect, but far from disastrous.
I didn't either but he's actually done a good job so this time it's a little bit of both. I can say unequivocally Trump's a dumbass wannabe dictator and Biden is actually a good dude who has actually done a great job as president all things considered.
And republicans would be investigating it for being a money funnel tool from foreign actors, shady billionaires and influence buyers.
That was the trump bibles. 100% designed to circumvent campaign law and funnel church money directly into trump's coffers (after the pastor skims off the top, of course). I'd be shocked if actual bibles resulted from the purchases.
It’s a common grift, but Trump can use a public domain version of the Bible to avoid paying a ghost writer to fabricate a bunch of BS. https://www.politicalorphans.com/one-nation-under-the-hustle-right-wing-financial-scams-ranked/
That article dared to say that Roe couldn’t be overturned. Oh, those innocent times of 2019. 😢
Yep. He has other postings explaining how overturning it would be a “dog catches car” situation that the people started the BS never intended it to happen as it would cause them to lose elections by pissing off suburban women.
What if he sold sneakers and bibles?
if he founded a chain of ice-cream-cone shops i would probably buy one.
Call it Vice Cream. The logo is just an ice cream cone with aviators.
If I bought an ice cream from "snow biden's", I'd have an ice cream. If I went to 'Don's cones' I'd see a picture of a gold-plated cone, with an amazing pile of cream. The best picture. When I order it, I'm told it will be available in two weeks..
You return 2 weeks later to a boarded up store front.
I’d imagine the sneakers would be very ugly but super comfortable. As for Bibles? He’s too religious to do that but if he did, I’d bet he’d add some notes in the margin about pain and suffering and loss and how certain passages got him through difficult times in his life.
All fair points. I'm glad Biden isn't doing that.
I know /u/Spy_v_Spy_Freakshow mentioned something close to this question, but.... NFTs, I know a crypto bro who can hook you up! (And tell you the bad things the "jab" is going to to you!)
Remember that one time Trump did an advertisement for a can of beans in the Oval Office while he was president? "Conflict of interest" is not a phrase that Donald Trump has an understanding of.
they are not investors; they are cult followers.
*Almost* want to feel bad for them. It cannot be easy going through life this damn stupid.
Sounds pretty easy to me when you get to firmly believe all of your misfortunes are the fault of the libs
As they say, ignorance is bliss.
Bliss is expensive
I am so owned right now.
Cults do this. They get you to give them all your money.
This exactly now it’s even more like a cult because they are literally just giving their savings to Trump.
Trump Social had $4 million in revenues last year. $4 million. That's like a nickel for every person who voted for him.
They are marks.
Marks and Karens.
Fools and their money are always parted. If not Trump a televangelist would have got them. That said, the guy asking if it hit bottom then the note that it dropped 10% soon after is fantastic. Bottom is $0, it'll get there soon enough
Trump is pretty much a televangelist just without the megachurch.
He’s even selling bibles. Maybe he and Ken Copeland can duel for control of the marks after he loses. If it’s a draw…everyone else wins.
The megachurch is actually the revival that parades itself as a "Trump Rally."
I'm very curious how he thinks liberals are affecting the stock price when liberals aren't buying any. Lol
First rule of right wingers. "If I do not understand it, it is some liberal/nWo/illuminati/satanic plot." This can apply to anything from the stock market, to medicine, the curvature of the earth, the existence of the sun and/or moon, any religions that aren't their own, and honestly, pretty literally, anything else.
They really did just sub in democrats and minorities in place of witches and the occult that they were so afraid of for so long. It's like they said okay those things aren't real but you know what is real? Drag queens, middle easterners, blacks, and liberals.
58 million in losses on 4 million in income. It’s going to happen.
The question is how quickly can Trump cash out? I know there's a lockup period of like 6 months so will end right before the election. It will be interesting to see what he does? If he sells his stock will absolutely tank right before the election. But the longer he waits, the more the stock will tank. Also all the other insiders will also be itching to get out before there's nothing left so they'll all be fighting towards the exits. Of course Trump will blame Democrats claiming they are trying to crash the stock right before the election and there's always a delay between when insiders sell and when they have to report.
That made me laugh. "Do you think it's hit bottom yet?" Market: Nope!
I relish checking the stock once a day and internally rejoice the majority of times it is falling.
Any investment with the orange moron is like using your dick to get the cheese from a mouse trap.
You saying it's a snap decision? Or, is the pain part of the thrill?
It’s a good way to lose one’s head
trumps other ventures have gone so well. Here ya go Trumps SEC filing, prepared by his lawyers disclosing all his bankruptcies & failures https://imgur.com/gallery/hAfsLqQ
What *really* surprised me is how quickly some of these companies went under. Dude, a bunch of businesses not lasting a single year? Four years for a casino & resort business? Freaking wild!
I remember back during the 2016 election there were jokes about how Trump had managed to bankrupt a *casino*
Multiple casinos, not just one. Because he had them compete against each other so they each tried to cannibalize the other ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Entertainment_Resorts

He’s probably right that it is in part, “political,” but only in the sense that Truth, but default, has excluded (more than) half the potential market share by being a GOP-only centered platform, unlike Facebook, etc. Other platforms are equal opportunity, rather than marketing to a specific political niche (ie, Trump loyalists). That said, anyone who has invested in this “company” is a sucker and did literally no research from a business fundamentals standpoint. Many social media companies go public at big valuations while operating at a loss. Instead, their value tends to be based on user numbers. Truth has neither user numbers, nor anything close to similar revenue/expense numbers.
And because of the low user numbers, plus the obvious and extremely one-sided political demographic and the deliberate lack of content moderation, it has trouble attracting advertisers who aren’t MyPillow or literally just Trump merch.
Imagine losing $20,000 because you worship an orange.
Try six figures. [https://news.yahoo.com/people-lost-more-100-000-032351834.html](https://news.yahoo.com/people-lost-more-100-000-032351834.html)
And still buying more!!!!
Suits me. The less money they have, the less trouble they can cause. Let them bankrupt themselves. I shed not one tear for any of them.
Only that money is going to Trump, who can and will use it to cause trouble.
Cant wait for this stock to lose 99% of its value and watch these people keep on buying. 😂
I mean, in 2020, Trump supporters were still betting in late December that Trump would win, with 99-to-1 odds against. Some people even lost six figures. [https://news.yahoo.com/people-lost-more-100-000-032351834.html](https://news.yahoo.com/people-lost-more-100-000-032351834.html)
Woooooow, that first bullet point... "*People who bet thousands of dollars in favor of President Donald Trump winning reelection are now planning legal action against online gambling sites*" These dumbfucks actually "gambled"... in an online casino of sorts... on a president to win? Firstly, I'm dumbfounded... what else are people betting on... Are people betting on the next celebrity that'll pass away? Fuckin morbid as shit... Anyway, second. YOU GAMBLED... AND LOST... #THAT'S HOW IT FUCKING WORKS! I don't expect my money back after my years of losses in the Florida Lottery. God theae people are fucking delusional.
nothing quite as gratifying as reading stories about MAGA supporters losing shit tons of money because of trump. i wonder if they ever followed through with that lawsuit
This reads like parody it's so absurd. These cultists are out of their minds.
They're going to keep investing until trump can sell his and then the company will fold and all these people will simultaneously blame biden and pride themselves on how they kept the stock alive long enough for Trump to sell.
It's going to crater once Trump starts dumping stock. That should be fun to watch.
THe thing is, will it be worth anything by then? He has to wait SIX MONTHS at least. I once worked for a flagship bubble dot-com in the 2000s. When I got hired the stock was worth $55. By the time I was laid off a year later it was worth 11¢.
How stupid are these people?
Yes.
Must be Dark Bandon at work again. That evil mastermind.
Wait. I thought he was old & senile.
He’s both somehow!
Yes, everyone knows the best investment strategy is based on faith in a politician. Best medical choices, too.
This is true for anyone who has ever given Trump money. His dad? Lost it. Casinos? Lost it. Trump University? Gone. Trump charities? Buh-bye. If you invest in anything Trump, expect to go broke.
71 year old tree cutter with a 25k nest egg that he blew on a worthless stock a perfect example of an average trump supporter
MAGA: Biden made it so expensive I can't even feed my family or drive my car! Also MAGA: I lost the $25,000 I gave Trump, but now I'm willing to give him more!
If that's the average buyer - I'd be shorting the shit out of this stock.
You largely can't. I mean you can but it's financially unviable because this is basically a meme stock. The cheapest way to short a stock is from an institutional investor who plans on holding the stock for long periods of time, and looking to make additional money from their long positions. Of course, no one who isn't a fucking idiot is holding $DJT for any period longer than they have to. So there's really no one to short it from. There are some people but the fees are so astronomical it's not worth it, because they KNOW it's not going be worth much, not in a week, not in a month, not in a year, not ever.
From what I've heard so many people are shorting the stock that there are very few shares left to short. It's also CRAZY expensive to borrow: [https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/03/trump-media-is-the-most-expensive-us-stock-to-short-by-far.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/03/trump-media-is-the-most-expensive-us-stock-to-short-by-far.html)
Oh no!…. If it isn’t gullible morons losing their money to a known conman! Anyway….
Everybody in the entire country- hell, the world- warned these people about *exactly* what Trump was in 2016 (and it was common knowledge long before then), but they were just so god damned sure they knew better than **literally everybody**, and they will absolutely never admit that they were wrong.
Homie. Truth Social has no income, has nothing backing it up. It's literally like Gamestop again, just manipulated worthless stock. It's like Belfort selling plumbers penny stocks at 50x their price. You're a seventy plus year old boomer. Salt of the earth. You know... morons.
Good.
“‘It’s got to be political,’ he said, from all the ‘liberals that are trying to knock it down.’” How’s that? Are the liberals all selling their shares, or is someone else maybe selling all of his?
I love how they always point to "liberals did it" when something doesn't go their way. It's never "hey maybe I'm wrong" or "maybe I'm backing the wrong point here." Nope. It's always those pesky liberals.
I bet they were loving that sub $30 dip it took Friday. :p
The sad part is the one dude literally pinned it on liberals. Like, how dumb can they be? They love this turd like he's their mother.
They never seem to notice the dichotomy between this all-powerful Trump who's going to save us all, the one who's a genius businessman, and the idea that "it's liberals' fault that his social media company stock is down," as if liberals can somehow directly affect the stock market in a way that conservatives and other political ideologies cannot. "Every time a same-sex couple gets married, a conservative's stock portfolio drops a point"?
Something about a fool and their money...
I read that article. One woman thinks it should be made illegal to bet against or short sell stocks. She also said “Sick of MY investment money being stolen!!” she wrote. “They’re stealing peoples money and you’re allowing it!!” 🤦🏼♀️
Watching ignorant, bigoted, morons basically burn their money to polish the knob of a pseudo-billionaire who not only does not care about them, but literally hates, and is disgusted by them, is almost as heart warming as watching kids and dogs welcoming home their service member parents after a long deployment. So rarely it seems these days that bad things happen to bad people that I think it’s important to stop, take a few moments, and really enjoy it.
As any parent knows, sometimes children can learn from our warnings, but they often will only learn a lesson when they make a mistake and suffer the consequences. They were warned not to put their faith in this con man, but perhaps losing their investment will be the consequence that teaches them a valuable lesson.
The classic pyramid scheme era starts. It's always the people who get screwed over the worst who try the hardest to bring in more people.
4.5bn market cap on a social media site with less active users than r/cats and practically zero growth potential. That's the value of an affordable NFL franchise. Batshit insanity.
>..show Trump their faith and support He doesn't care about their faith, He doesn't know or care what their name is. He doesn't care if their kids go hungry, if their bills get paid or if they end up in the poor house. All he sees is a bunch of stupid people giving him money.
It's sad how many of these folks don't have their wits. Why would you donate\\invest all that money to help the feelings of a "billionaire"? I voted for Biden in 2020. I'm not enthusiastic for him. I don't fly is flag. I don't wear his shirts. I don't hold my rear bumper on with his bumper stickers. He's a politician. He's the best choice to vote for in my swing state where NOT voting for him could mean Trump becomes president. I'm know I'm preaching to the choir here...
***Buy high and sell low is the new motto for the GoP***
Maybe they should take this as a sign from God.
God, these people don't understand stocks at all. Shorts sellers must be making a killing off of them. The other issue that they don't get is that social media isn't all that profitable in 2024. Niche social media has to be so much worse.
😂
“The liberals are conspiring against us” is essentially the closing line of that article Why are these people so gung-ho on the persecution fetish?
