I am 100% convinced that Trump Media is Trump's endgame graft. He stands to make literally billions upon billions of dollars from this unabashed scam, and I think selling MAGA suckers shares in his MAGA "Social media platform" might be the entire point of his political career thus far. He's long talked about wanting to start a media company, and I think the whole point of his run at the presidency was to validate whether people would pay attention to him at scale, which unfortunately has been thoroughly proven by this point, so now it's all about converting that attention into cash the most effective way possible for that's only accessible to the world's wealthiest folks, which is selling suckers shares in some pump and dump scheme.
Poor people run scams on the street, the wealthy run them on stock exchanges.
- mrguyorama 3y agoReally he's just kind of desperate for liquid cash right now, since he owes hundreds of millions in court settlements that he has never had. He's always been a stupid, low brow grifter, going as far as simply stiffing contractors who worked in his buildings and was such a bad bet for loans that he could no longer get credit in America. That's why he is raiding the RNC, why he is pushing campaign contributions so much (remember when he was claiming "I'm so rich that I'm self funding my campaign?"), why he did the stupid NFTs, and why he did this IPO. He's spent his entire life selling rocks to chronic bag-holders, who seem to be exactly the kind of person who wants to stand behind them. It's genuinely sad how much money he has stolen from the bag-holder class. They seemingly have no self awareness to see his greed or their, well, naivety. Every dollar they send him has been squirreled away for personal reasons, and yet they believe him to be their savior. I've never seen such gluttony for punishment.
- newfriend 3y agoI am 100% convinced most people can't help but be incredibly biased when it comes to anything Trump. He's also long talked about the US being ripped off. Did his social media aspirations start in the 80s when he was talking about possibly running for president? This guy's views have been incredibly consistent over the years. As soon as he became a a viable political threat, people act as though he's the most evil person on earth, with only ulterior motives. > Donald Trump Teases a President Bid During a 1988 Oprah Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEPs17_AkTI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEPs17_AkTI
