He's already on record as saying that anyone who believes him is a moron.

Trump's most successful ventures have been The Apprentice (of which he isn't a founder) and branding - just leasing out his name.

What a brilliant "business".

I'm calling you on your claim that he has had hundreds/thousands of profitable businesses. You made the claim. List them.


Good Lord. You want me to list addresses of golf courses and high rises? Are you honestly trying to say that all of Trumps money came from “grift” schemes? Holy shite. What a complete moron. You think closely held businesses just have their financials out there for anyone to produce? How many more times are you going to prove you know absolutely nothing about business?

I agree with your carnival barker analogy, but I've not seen this admission. Link?

For him, it is. He will extract several billion dollars from his followers, perfectly legally.

He is the perfect businessman. Utterly amoral.

Back it up.

I fail to see how my asking you to prove your claims has anything to do with my business acumen.

Emotional bitch.

That's not a business...we typically call it something else.

He just does not have much money. People putting money into the stock he thought would maybe be able to double or triple the donation basically. Total failure.

If any of these idiots would actually do some research on it, they'd realize how dumb all their talking points are.

I don't remember the specifics right now, but it only has something like 9 million users and no profits.


For reference Meta typically floats between 7 - 10X in EV / revenue. Early stage TMT companies can get quite a bit higher than that if they are in the right segment (AI right now, as an example), but social media is relatively mature. So let's call it 10 - 20X. Truth Social revenue last year was $4.1M.

One other reference point commonly used is DAU. I've seen numbers anywhere from 500K to 2M for Truth Social. You'll see valuations anywhere from $0 - 400 / DAU depending on the firm (for example Twitter was around $160 / DAU when Musk bought it but likely would be valued around $50 / DAU now according to some public filings by co-investors), but that assumes growth and a well-run operation.

Honesty Musk buying Twitter probably hurt Truth Social more than anything else. It kept a lot of people on Twitter that would have otherwise migrated due to policies, and that is a killer in a business that is really challenging for newcomers and relies heavily on demand-side network effects.

Did you really think a septuagenarian along with two reality show contestants was ever going to be able to start a social media platform? It was always going to go this way, everything about it is scammy. From the people running it, to going public via SPAC to all the crazy lawsuits being filed between the insiders and two clowns going to jail for insider trading it.

The only people that thought this had actual value are the maga weirdos that have the real TDS.
