The great 'business man' is losing his shirt on his own company, which I guess is why he needs to grift the rest of the country to make ends meet.

Not to worry, the US Treasury will bail it out.

Worst "investment" in the market!

It's little but another means of Trump grifting as secret buyers pump shares so Trump can dump them and put the $'s in his pocket.

The company's cash flow statement tells the story. DJT has generated $277MM of cash over the course of the past ten quarters, with that cash coming not from operations, but from equity sales to prop up the operating business. With only 30-35 employees and only one product, there is not much to manage. Active user count is down 50% in the past year--I guess they have had enough truth.

Pro tip: Avoid the Vanguard ultra-aggressive ETF and funds, because they collectively are the biggest holders of DJT shares. With the stock down 1/3 this year and 50% in the past 12 months, Vanguard caught a falling knife, and investors are getting stabbed...
