    Chapter 11 is Donny’s favorite number:

    Taj Mahal, Trump University/Castle/Shuttle/Steaks/Vodka/Ice/Magazine, and now Trump Media.

        I think there’s a lock out period for him following the merger but I don’t know for how long. There’s still time for the stock (DJT) to plummet, with any luck.

        I think he keeps bankrupting his companies so that he can update the list of his businesses in the book, creating new editions every few years. If you have an old copy, just burn it because the new ones are so much better with the newest info. In fact, after burning the old one, wait a bit for the new one to drop. He’s clearly getting ready to update the new one with DWAC and Trump Media.

        It’s so fitting. Vodka is the cheapest alcohol you can make. It’s basically watered down ethanol. Overpriced vodka is so on-brand for a Trump. And he still couldn’t make a profit.

        I wonder why it still exists in Israel. I bet he sold the rights to it there and has nothing to do with the business.

    You mean advertisers aren’t climbing all over themselves to buy spots on it? Maybe the new streaming service will save the day.

          Depends on how you define “working”.

          He managed to kill a non-profit that advised not advertising on Xitter because it’s a racist shithole. I don’t think it’s gonna bring back any advertisers, but with the help of a pet Texas judge he’s SLAPP suing his detractors out of existence.

            One could argue that the non profit has largely done its job at this point so it’s only a symbolic victory.

              Yeah, Musk blamed GARM for advertisers “boycotting” X so he sued them then they disbanded. Of course, Mush and Yaccarino are strutting about like roosters apparently not realizing how obvious this suit makes it that you do business with X at your own peril.

    Iirc they only brought in like 300k in revenue. Somebody fact check me but it was definitely between 300k-400k in revenue. So that net loss is fucking insane.

      It in the article

      Trump Media, which owns the Truth Social app often used by the former president, also reported revenue of just $836,900 for the quarter ending June 30, a 30% drop from the same period in 2023

          If the numbers are content. That’s about 3.2 million in revenue and 64 million loss per year.

          While people want to clap over that. Many companies are not profitable their first few years.

          I work for a tech company. We are well known, bring in billions but one made a profit once or twice in twenty years.

          Prior company the same.

          It’s amazing that you can bring in billions and still not make a dime

            Many companies are not profitable their first few years.

            Especially if they’re a Twitter ripoff with one single user being the only one anyone cares about in terms of who posts.

            In fact, I’m going to make a, what I feel is pretty safe, prediction that Truth Social also won’t make a profit over their last few years.

    And not a single one of his unbelievably stupid fans will sell their stock in it until he cashes out in a couple months. The absolute first second he’s allowed to sell his stake, that shit’s going to crater hard with all his Stans losing their life savings.

    The real treasure was all the grifts he did along the way.
