On an otherwise DOWN DAY on the market... Trump stock gains 40+% [View all]

Like I was saying last week... DWAC, soon to be DJT will serve as the next major slush fund for Trump.

Bottom line: Trump owns 79,000,000 shares...

When the stock goes up by $1, his net worth "on paper" goes up by $79,000,000

Earnings don't matter... or lack thereof...

As of today, Trump's stake in the company is 79 million x around 52/share...

Or 4+ billion dollars.

And it's all legal. Nothing illegal about ANYONE in the world buying US stocks.

I guaran-damn-tee you that the Saudis and probably the Russians are buying the stock.
