I read (somewhere) it is standard for such agreements to have a cooling-off period where major shareholders can't pledge the shares for a specified amount of time (often six months).

To prevent, yaknow, a scammer from taking a loan and then junking the company.

Ok. My typos are getting silly.

I was contemplating that the share price would have flatlined by the time tfg was allowed to sell. Then I heard that the waiting period could be waived. Then I realised that holding large numbers of shares could be one way for anybody to covertly fund tfg. Not holding my breath to see if he comes truly unstuck or yet again slithers away.

The conventional wisdom is that an attempt to waive the waiting period likely would draw lawsuits from minority shareholders.

I'm sure it will end well. Everything fuckhead touches...

Yes. If everything goes according to plan, that is.

A quick perusal indicates that his most popular posts (like the crowd favorite “ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”) approach 30k likes. FWIW.

Towards the end of his Term the popularity of his posts on Twitter had shriveled, but I think he was still getting 100K likes on his most popular posts. Something like that anyway.

Fact check: Trump tells ‘mind-bogglingly nonsensical’ story about the New York Stock Exchange

https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/25/politics ... index.html

Former President Donald Trump told a story on Monday in which he claimed that he decided not to list the Trump Media & Technology Group on the New York Stock Exchange, even though the exchange “badly” wanted the company, because businesspeople are “treated too badly in New York” and “don’t want to be attacked by a thug like this horrible attorney general that we have in New York.”

There is one problem. The story does not make any sense.

Facts First: The stock exchange on which the Trump Media & Technology Group is being listed, the Nasdaq, is also headquartered in New York. In fact, the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are located in the same New York City borough of Manhattan. In other words, all of the New York laws and political oversight that would have applied to the company if it was listed on the NYSE will apply to the company when it is listed on the Nasdaq.

“It’s just mind-bogglingly nonsensical,” Jonathan Macey, a Yale Law School corporate law, corporate finance and securities law professor, said of Trump’s story.

Macey repeatedly laughed while discussing the story in an interview. He said it would be the equivalent of someone claiming that, to avoid persecution in New York, they were going to avoid shopping at Macy’s in New York but instead would shop at the Bloomingdale’s store next door in New York. He said: “Like, what?”

It's like the dude's central nervous system nugget (I refuse to call it a 'brain' anymore) hears the syllables 'New York' and it launches his bullshit override process in which a poor previous generation A.I. has to throw together something insulting and gratuitous that is basically word salad but is coherent enough to track with 'New York' and has his cultists following along nodding going "That makes total sense and you have Trump Derangement Syndrome if you dont agree!"

Trump really isn't that stupid — at least he wasn't back before he was so orangely obnoxious.

Anybody, everybody, makes occasional slips or has "duhhh!" moments. But this chronic pattern is surely dementia rotting his brainlet, perhaps exacerbated by stress about his court cases and his nonsensical campaign.

If people and family around Trump cared for his welfare (apparently they don't) they would try to persuade him that indeed he was the best president ever and the greatest businessman and deal-maker of all time but why not enjoy retirement being the most skillful golfer in America and let his lawyers sort out his legal problems? I think the term in dementia care is "joining the hallucination."

Trump's best legal strategy might be to exaggerate the dementia to avoid criminal responsibility (if something like that is possible in state and/or federal courts).

Trump Derangement Symptoms

“Trump’s wealth surges by $5.5bn as Truth Social starts trading in New York”:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/20 ... -rate-cut/

“Donald Trump has entered the ranks of the world’s 500 richest people after shares in his social media company surged on their Wall Street debut.
Shares in Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the entity behind Mr Trump’s Twitter rival Truth Social, rose by more than 50pc at one point after it arrived on the Nasdaq exchange through a merger with a listed cash shell.
This values Mr Trump’s majority stake in the company at more than $5.5bn (£4.3bn), sending his estimated net worth to more than $8bn.”

oh my --- the first time in his life he can truly claim to be a billionaire

Vincent "the chin" Gigante had some success with the bathrobe defense where he would be seen wandering around NY in his jammies and robe. One big difference is when he took over the family, he was a recluse. Trump is a narcissist.

Exactly so. And narcissism with onsetting dementia is not a foundation for any successful defense or mitigation of outcome.

I spend enough hours with mildly or severely demented patients, some distressed, some contented, that I don't wish it on anybody. But Trump deserves and gets no sympathy from me and if it is his dementia-driven lack of impulse control that lands him a spell in a room with bars on the window, no problem, hilarity ensues.

If, And it’s a huge if, he gets sent to prison, my guess is he’ll land a facility for elderly convicts in poor health.

If Letitia James and her team get their act together, there should soon be some real estate that can be converted into appropriate residential accommodation. The Mierda Larda Penitientiary?

Perhaps E. Jean Carroll will sponsor some bars for the windows.

Exactly. And the fact he is a Narcisit and vain to boot is exactly why he physically cannot stop running for president again.

His presidency is tainted. He knows it. he know that future generations will see that he will be marked down as a guy who was impeached twice. He cannot stand the camparison He knows he lost spectacularly in 2020. Everything he does is to try and make that go away, to stop people seeing that he is a loser.

Why do you think he never used the official presidency twitter? Its because he felt everyone would be comparing his tweets with the writings of other presidents, comparing his tweets to Obama#s. He knew he wouldn't look good by comparison. So he hid in his own account.

Narcissism is basically people making insane destructive attempts to stop people seeing that they are the loser that deep down they know they are. If you regard everything he does as not as an arrogant jerk, but as a man desperate to coverup his shortcomings and convince everyone they don't exist, it makes a lot more sense.

Plus. he knows that his rancid presidency run is the only reason people pay any attention to him anymore.

There probably are people around him desperate to see him quit this. But if they so much as whisper that idea to him he will explode. And when he loses this time he will run again, and again. If he stopped it would be admitting he is a small incompetent nobody, and that would mean mental self destruction.

Isn't it a coincidence that it was floated on the Stock exchange just BEFORE that came out

How much does Nunez earn for running his money destruction machine ?

I wonder if a post-dated offer for tfg’s shares was made at the opening day’s price…

Well, this is fun to watch.

DJT hit a high of $79.38 last Tuesday.

It ended last week at $61.96. Down 21.9%.

Today? It just keeps dropping. At this moment, it's $50.70. So down 36.1% from the high.
