Remember when Kamala wanted to change that to taxable income whether or not you actually acquired the money?

There was a reason we all considered that an insane idea.

If he hasn’t changed his position since he was elected, this might be one of the dumbest statements I’ve seen. Do you have ANY evidence he has changed his holdings in the media company since the election?


No, the headline/post/article is intentionally misleading and drawing poor conclusions and comparisons about one of his companies, Trump Media, and I later edited my first post in this thread to reflect this.

I was the obtuse one here for not looker deeper into the context and was wrong in this instance.


That being said, I'm sure there are far more than a few backdoor channels that Trump has access to if he wanted to take advantage of these large market swings which he has greatly influenced, but I don't have evidence of that.

His "buy tip" was, "it's a great time to buy".

Funny, I've heard that several times on here and from others that are hopeful in the current economic policy, and didn't take it as a buy tip. Apparently we're all guilty of insider trading.

There is virtually nothing that Trump could do to cause the slightest peep of criticism on this board. He could grant ownership of Alaska and the Bering Strait to Russia, and his fanboys would say it was the “art of the deal”…

You don't think a generational businessman with 250 companies and many more connections/lawyers/accounts wouldn't have non-obvious ways to sell or buy securities if he wanted to increase his wealth? If he's telling others to buy, do you think it's a possibility or even probability that he was buying as well?

Again, I have heard no evidence of that and admitted that I was wrong with my first comments as they related to Trump Media specifically, but it's not exactly a stretch either.

I'm wrong, but I'm still going to wishcast something in hopes that maybe one day I am right.

Another loser with TDS.

If you've ever met more than a few successful CEO/entrepreneur types, you'd know that a guaranteed buying opportunity is very hard to turn down for someone who never thinks any amount of money is enough.

Good for him. He built it. He owns it. It isn't like he just bought the day before and sold the day after.
