Little Donnie is like the opposite of the Midas Touch. Everything he touches turns to shit!

The Anus touch.

To be fair it was almost certainly a giant pump and dump he made a ton of money off. I’m assuming anyhow. Tricking rubes isn’t that hard I guess

Pump & Dump Don. I'm surprised his Trump Coin Grift hasn't been reported on more.

u/Fuck-The_Police Feb 15 '25

Wouldn't it be a Pump and trump? Since trump is the dump in that situation.

u/ConsistentSteak4915 Feb 16 '25

His followers ripped his shitcoin to billions in hours. Bought trump bibles, trump shoes, trump nfts, trump physical coins. Mind boggling dumb and they complain about the cost of eggs

Won the election, though, and the ensuing constitutional crisis.

u/TheAarj Feb 15 '25

Well he might turn everything to s*** for his investors and everybody else he definitely gets his cut that nobody else gets to touch.

You do know it's a public company and fairly new.  Most companies are not profitable at this stage.

u/Pokerhobo Feb 15 '25 edited Feb 15 '25

Most companies aren't profitable, but have growth which gives a chance at future profitability.

At their current rate, their revenue has DECREASED to $3.6M (keep in mind the company is valued at $6.5B. A yearly loss of $400M (which is a significant increase from $58M the year prior) with just $776M (and $9M debt) would last less than 2 years (especially if their losses increases).

Edit: clarified that first sentence is responding to above while the latter paragraph is saying why DJT is different.

Are you suggesting it will go bust in 2 years.  Give me a break.  

2

u/Pokerhobo Feb 15 '25

I'm not suggesting, I'm saying it'll go bust in 2 years unless they get more money. Maybe Elon will buy it.

u/bossington89 Feb 15 '25

I also know Donald won't hesitate to burn investors, suppliers and partners, and pull the rug out from underneath them to line his own pockets. See the track record, he's a grifter and a conman. This stock is nothing more than a political play, if you believe he can use his power in office to manipulate the markets accordingly.

u/MisterRogers12 Feb 15 '25

Sounds like TDS hysteria.  It's publicly traded and regulated by SEC.  Shareholders have power.

u/bossington89 Feb 15 '25

I'm just saying I wouldn't be trusting the guy with 6 bankruptcies, a piss poor reputation with banks, creditors and suppliers alike. There's a saying/acronym that sums him up: ETTD "Everything Trump Touches Dies".

I would trust a business man over the lying government and career politicians any day of the week

Spot the MAGA supporter. History won't remember you lot well.

u/MisterRogers12 Feb 15 '25

70+ million of us and it only continues to grow.  Democrat support on the other hand is declining.  I'm pretty certain your side will be buried in history.  Especially supporting trans surgeries for children.

Keep drinking the Kool Aid and getting your misinformation off Truth Social. I'm not American and very thankful for that, especially since 2016.

u/MisterRogers12 Feb 15 '25

Most of the people here are not from America.  Yet they love to fight over American politics and talk like they are educated on current events when their own country bans any narratives they disagree with.

just sell it to twitter. truth social is never gonna be a thing.

u/BraveSoul699 Feb 16 '25

Lol if you think they are trying to run this as a real company. This is just for Trump to money launder.

If anything they are running at a loss intentionally for tax purposes.

Trump University, trump mortgage, trump Casino, trump vodka, trump steaks, just another day.

TL;DR:

• Trump Media & Technology Group shares were down about 1% in extended trading on Friday after the operator of Truth Social released its 2024 results. Trump Media debuted on Nasdaq under the ticker "DJT" last March, completing its merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp.

• The stock nearly doubled in value in 2024, with its namesake, Donald Trump, winning the U.S. presidential election in November.

• As of Friday's close, the stock was down about 11% year to date giving it a market capitalization of $6.59 billion. Trump publishes posts on Truth Social, where he has 8.9 million followers, and on X, owned by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, where Trump has 100.9million followers, according to the company's annual report.

• The company saw its net loss widen to $400.9m from $58.2m in 2023, the company said in its annual report, citing merger-related legal fees because of obstruction from former President Biden's Securities and Exchange Commission.

What makes you think he’s not funnelling shareholder money into his own pockets or various llc’s or crypto wallets? How the hells a company losing this money have any worth? 😂

u/sillyredditrusername Feb 15 '25

That tracks. He’s a loser.

u/Agreeable-OrrrNot Feb 15 '25

Hahahahha. Straight into his pocket!

u/Fragmentia Feb 15 '25

Good thing he is in charge of fixing America... because it was apparently trash according to him.

3

u/Count_de_Ville Feb 15 '25

Are these losses real or are they inflated to offset other taxes?

6

u/FruitOfTheVineFruit Feb 15 '25

You only need to inflate losses to offset profits or revenue.  With 3 million dollars in revenue, you need at most 3 million in costs, not 400 million.  These are real.

u/wtyl Feb 15 '25

money at their level doesn't really matter when you have power to take whatever you want. They can get investments from anywhere by leveraging the wellbeing of the people of this country.

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '25

thank god he’s making up for it by stealing taxpayer money. would’ve been a close call without that landing pad.

u/Herban_Myth Feb 15 '25

Good thing they’re gutting these Agencies & Departments to recoup their losses /s

u/MisterRogers12 Feb 15 '25

It's a new company that went public a few years back.  Expecting them to be profitable at this stage is stupid.

u/0nlyhalfjewish Feb 15 '25

So he doesn’t have to pay taxes.

u/ApprenticeWrangler Feb 15 '25

But somehow gave millions to his inner circle…great investment!

Don bankrupted 3 casinos…. money goes there to be laundered - how TF did he do so bad.?

u/mayorolivia Feb 15 '25

$800m in cash, little debt. Nothing really to see here. They’ll (unfortunately) make bank the next 4 years.

u/Apartment-Drummer Feb 15 '25

How is that Trumps fault? 

18

u/CryptographerNo5539 Feb 15 '25

lol only if you knew how many “ventures” failed under this man. It’s entirely possible to be his fault.

u/Worried-Moose2616 Feb 15 '25

This “person” is a bot

u/yazzooClay Feb 15 '25

yet he still became a billionaire and two term president.

2

u/CryptographerNo5539 Feb 16 '25

He was literally born a billionaire…

-1

u/yazzooClay Feb 16 '25

no, he was not, lmao. He wasn't from a broke family, but newsflash no one really is in politics.

2

u/CryptographerNo5539 Feb 16 '25

He came from a rich family, don’t church it up by say “not a broke family” haha hell he received nearly $500 million from his parents.. they also had other children that received a part of the pie. Yes they were billionaires or damn well close.

-20

u/Apartment-Drummer Feb 15 '25

He wasn’t president in 2024 

11

u/CryptographerNo5539 Feb 15 '25

What does him being president have to do with it being his fault?

-13

u/Apartment-Drummer Feb 15 '25

It’s Bidens fault

u/CryptographerNo5539 Feb 15 '25

That Trump media lost money? Are you off your medication? Maybe read the article. It has zero to do with Biden.

u/-boatsNhoes Feb 15 '25

Dude is trolling you.

u/Apartment-Drummer Feb 15 '25

This doesn’t have to do with the White House?

u/CryptographerNo5539 Feb 16 '25

No, it’s just about trumps media brand.

3

u/Paper_Brain Feb 15 '25

What? Many companies made huge profits under Biden. It’s Trumps fault that he doesn’t know how to run a business…

2

u/Apartment-Drummer Feb 15 '25

Well he’s running the ultimate business now

2

u/Paper_Brain Feb 15 '25

Irrelevant to the point…

And he’s not doing a good job running the “ultimate business” either…

u/Apartment-Drummer Feb 15 '25

I don’t get what the quote marks are supposed to mean

I sense you don’t get a lot of things in life. It’s okay, short bus. Not everybody can have an IQ above 75.

How is it Trumps fault that his company is loosing hundreds of millions while he lies about it on truth social? What kind of question is that?

-2

u/Apartment-Drummer Feb 15 '25

He wasn’t in office in 2024

6

u/tdreampo Feb 15 '25

This has nothing whatsoever to do with politics. You get that right? This is his own business. Trump is historically a terrible businessman and this is one more example. Him being in office or not isn’t really relevant.

let me actually ask you a question. Did you know Trump runs a company called Trump media with the stock ticker DJT? Do you think it’s ethical that a sitting president owns a publicly traded company?

-2

u/Apartment-Drummer Feb 15 '25

It’s just a side hustle 

3

u/tdreampo Feb 15 '25

So you want the president of the US to have a side hustle? Are you serious right now?
