Ten-year-old nabisco offTM:
Here's something funny: when I was ten years old I had a vague admiration for Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca (both very feted at the time) and a downright intense love of Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties, who I didn't understand to be something of a joke. As such, despite having really liked Mondale -- having a woman as a running mate impressed me, probably because of the mother/father dynamic of it -- I was convinced that I wanted to be a Republican and a businessman or lawyer of some sort. In fact, I started a "company" with my friends Brian and Jeff -- we made board games, and hired Tony, the best breakdancer I have ever known, to do the art -- and I was constantly attempting to read the law and economics books in my father's library. Everyone seemed to think this was "cute," though I sort of wish someone had just explained politics to me. In either case, I got over it quickly and went back to wanting to be a writer....― nabisco (nabisco), Saturday, June 14, 2003 1:28 PM (fourteen years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

hey, again - i'm sympathetic to the idea that truth social is actually worthless and that the 3.5 billion valuation (that i've seen attached to it in various headlines/articles over the last few months) is way too high and is being propped up by professional liars. sounds like tesla, which is definitely a worthless house of cards which will fall apart at any second once everyone sees that.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/03/25/truth-social-trump-media-stock-market-billions/Trump Media soars in first day of public trading
The newly merged Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns the social network Truth Social, saw its share price climb roughly 35 percent in its first morning on the Nasdaq exchange under its new ticker symbol, DJT — Trump’s initials.The company took over the stock held by Digital World Acquisition, its merger partner, which saw its share price soar on Monday more than 30 percent. Shareholders on Friday approved the merger, which was first announced in 2021.Trump owns 60 percent of Trump Media, or roughly 78 million shares, a stake now worth more than $5 billion.The company’s valuation, however, stands at odds with its business performance. Trump Media earned about $3.4 million in revenue and lost $49 million in the first nine months of 2023, a Securities and Exchange Commission filing shows.By noon, the Trump company’s shares were trading for about $67 — around the same price as the discussion-board platform Reddit, which went public last week, has tens of millions more active users than Truth Social and generated more than $800 million in revenue last year.The trading frenzy has helped make the company one of the largest parts of Trump’s net worth, according to Bloomberg, which said Monday was “the single-greatest day on record for the former president’s wealth” and had elevated him for the first time onto its list of the 500 richest people.Trump, however, can’t sell his shares or use them as collateral for six months due to a common business-deal provision, known as a lockup, designed to give investors confidence that major shareholders won’t quickly cash out once a deal closes....

also, regarding that 6 month waiting period until he can cash out:
The merger agreement says Trump could waive his six-month lockup provision with approval from Trump Media’s board, whose directors now include Nunes, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr., and several high-profile Trump allies, including Robert E. Lighthizer, Linda McMahon and Kash Patel, an SEC filing shows.But allowing Trump to cash out early could flood the market and erode the company’s share price, financial experts told The Washington Post.

In re that gag order I find this bit mentioned by the NYT even more telling:
In an unrelated order Tuesday, Justice Merchan issued a stern warning to Mr. Trump’s lawyers as well. He reminded them to behave professionally, or risk being held in contempt.“This court emphasizes that it hopes for and fully expects zealous advocacy from counsel as well as spirited contribution from witnesses and parties alike,” Justice Merchan wrote. “Nonetheless, the court expects that the line between zealous advocacy and willful disregard of its orders will not be crossed.”

Supposedly most of the market was people who were buying DJT in order to short it. But I'm afraid of some sort of The Producers scenario, in which between the would-be short sellers and the true believers who HODL on to stiggit to the libz, somehow leads to TS having enough market value for Trump to realize substantial gains.

But I was just driving around the North Carolina research triangle and environs - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, etc. - and I know that area is probably an outlier but I didn't see any signs or stickers there, either. Some Biden, some pro-choice billboards, some lingering Haley yard signs, but no Trump. Probably because this one exception was hogging all the flair:
