    Biden is responsible for my loss of money because I chose to invest in a stock that was clearly a money grab.

      In a not-really-defense of their BS, by investing in DJT they’ve set up their net worth to get absolutely ruined during Biden’s 2nd term.

        It would be ruined in Trump’s second term too. No one with real money bought that lie. He’s just making the middle class poor.

          I’m trying to assume no 2nd Trump term for my mental health. Also I am, on the admitted basis of no special knowledge, worried that DJT stock is just a way for foreign money to get laundered and thus not subject to normal economics if he is reelected.

    “Just sat down with my broker yesterday and am having him move $10,000 of my Roth IRA, that we had sitting idle for kind of like an extra ‘emergency fund’, into $DJT stocks!” one user declared excitedly. “This is the only time I would hope for the price to drop so I can get as many shares as possible!”

    This is why we still need Social Security instead of just self directed retirement savings. Roth IRA savings are NOT where you source funds for buying meme stocks. With their mindset this person is going to end up penniless going into retirement, but luckily they’ll have some money from Social Security. They will only have that Social Security money because there was no way for them to touch it.

      Unless trump gets elected and actually does torch social security. It would cause untold suffering, but also a fair amount of schadenfreude.

    “Just sat down with my broker yesterday and am having him move $10,000 of my Roth IRA, that we had sitting idle for kind of like an extra ‘emergency fund’, into $DJT stocks!”

    Three dumb things right here: having that much cash sitting idle in a Roth, paying a broker to purchase stock that you can do on your own for basically free, and putting that much money into such a terrible stock. This person is all kinds of moronic.

    Ways to increase Truth Social value

    1. Say Hunter Biden’s information is hidden there.

    2. Sell nuclear secrets through Truth Social.

    3. Melania or Ivanka nudez.

    4. Share more Jeffrey Weinstein photos. Trump already has em.

    5. The Marjorie Taylor Greene vs Lauren boebert fight

    6. Have Putin show up to rally the GOP

    7. Matt Gaetz shares his pedo photos

    Isn’t this just a fancy way for Trump to get some liquid assets?

    If so, of course they want you to keep the faith! More investment means Trump can pay his legal bills, liquidate, and let Musk get him back on Twitter.
