I'd vote for Vance in a heartbeat.

I don't hate Trump at all. His policies are far better than Harris. My problem is how he conducts himself. I won't be voting for either. If I was going to vote I'd probs vote for him, but I won't be voting for either as I think they are both fatally flawed.

---

So are you not going to vote for anyone?

If so, bad citizen.

When Trump wins re-election (and all the lawsuits to challenge his next big win), the lawfare against him will absolutely spike this price again. The Democrat communists can't help themselves from enriching him.

I could see him also signing some sort of partnership deal with X or other conservatives as well which will just enrage the leftists and spike this stuff up. Tons of options, like partnering with Trump resorts/hotels/golf properties for reservations etc. Spiking the football over this right now is as usual…absurdly short-sighted.

---

It probably will spike, but it shouldn't. There's nothing about this "company" that justifies a valuation above a penny stock.

---

Something tells me you're likely not a professional investment advisor. The main value to the company is the Trump brand/name itself. Is it worth more than the Nike swoosh for instance? Probably not, but it's definitely a driver of value.

---

Brand is worth as much as you can monetize it. And I don't mean stock price. I mean money in the bank. Truth Social has failed to monetize much of anything.

---

Imagine caring this much about Trump that you spend all day on this thread telling others how much his app is a terrible business....

---

Imagine caring so much about a man you've never met that you come to defend his company against the truth. I'm not talking about Trump as much as I'm talking about Truth Social, but it seems like you're taking it personally.

Lefties why don't you take your arguments to this thread.

Not for president. I'll vote down ballot to help w house senate and local policy's but not president.

Trump has probably stolen a sizeable portion of the disposable income of Alabama, Mississippi, WV, and Arkansas through his infomercial buy these now schemes. I wonder how many fewer welfare recipients those states would have if the electorate wasn't buying this crap over 4 payments on Klarna.

How much of the stimulus do you think his followers distributed back into his coffers? It's sad and criminal.

Good lord you need a better handle on reality.

So you can live with four years of the commies executive orders. Great stategy there.

It's a trade off. He lost my vote. She didn't gain it. He hasn't earned it back. He's a flawed candidate. I'd vote for Vance in a heartbeat. I actually think if the R dropped Trump for Vance they would win easily. Young, professional, on point, policy that's communicated well, and morals and a pedigree I respect.

Vance is the R's version of Young Obama. He could be a game changer nationally for decades. However, I think he's got stuck on a wagon that doesn't allow him to broadcast his message because it had to be filtered by Trump.

If he was allowed to debate KH, communicate the policy objectives against her, and use his pedigree to show his loyalty and patriotism, it wouldn't be a race.

It should've been Vance vs Harris to start. Not Trump vs Biden and then Trump vs Harris.

If Vance ran and had Trumps blessing he would blow KH back to Guam and the Ohio Senate R would be solidly republican.

How a person can be so squishy on issues they vote for the person and not the policy is bizarre to me.

He probably has scotttade account thinks hes warren buffet

It's trading at ~700x REVENUE (not income, revenue) AND its meager revenue is declining. You don't have to be Warren Buffett to know this company is hilariously overvalued. That's painfully obvious with just a cursory glance at the income statement.

If I'm a passive, fundamental investor, i wouldn't invest in it under any circumstances (you can make a case for investment under greater fool theory, but that's different). If I'm a PE shop with a great plan to use Trump's brand to boost usage (currently awful) and advertiser dollars (even worse), maybe MAYBE I'd be willing to pay 40 or 50 million.

That's it. To argue it's anywhere close to fairly valued with a market cap of ~$2.8B is a joke. You'd literally need to drop its value by 99% to 25-30M to approach fair value (and I still wouldn't invest at that price unless the management changed because at it stands now, it's losing a ton of money and has no path to positive cash flow).

The economy under Kamala runs a $300B debt in interest payments alone! And you question a startup business that is a minuscule part of the Trump empire. Sighs!

---

Don't try to deflect.

Own it.

Trump has a long well documented history of business failures.......this is just another to add to the list.

Steaks, NFTs, Casino, Airline, USFL, etc.

He takes risks. More often than not, he has failed. Business failures happen all the time throughout the world.

Sharper image bought his steak company, so that was not a failure

And Trump got a 1.7 billion payout from this "failed" truth social

He hasn't gotten a payout from TS has he? I think he still has his shares because of SEC lockup rules?

I was wrong, I believe he is now allowed to sell it all off and make around that. But he says he is not doing that.

I would have taken it and ran, let the company fade away F it, you are 78

So I can trust your astute analysis, can you also include Kamala's successes?

---

She has a more successful professional career than EVERYONE on F16. She is the Vice President of the United States. She is a heart beat away from achieving being one of the most coveted job in the entire world. Going forward she will be able to monetize that into speaking fees that equal in one hour more than what most of F16 makes in a year. She outwitted, out-competed, out-smarted 1,000s of men and women that wanted and tried for the same position.

By definition; holding the position of VPOTUS is success.


I am not saying the alleged way she achieved that success is the correct way or something to be repeated or honored. Nor am I promoting her communist policies.

All I am saying is: She has a more successful career than the both of us.


As far as her policies go, she is a ****ing disaster. If she's elected President, the country will take decades to recover from the war and economic collapse she will lead us into.

Hopefully, she'll show some class and resist the urge to hock Kamala Bibles and NFTs to her die hard true believer voters......

I believe he owns ~60% of the company (120 million shares), average daily trading volume is only 7 million, and as a key person I believe he has to internally declare sales well in advance of them + disclose the actual sales in quarterly reporting.

He might be able to stealthily dump a few million shares, but he can't exit anything closer to his full position without absolutely tanking the value. He's stuck.
