The catalyst?

The aftermath of the presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and current U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, where it seems the market leaned in favor of the Vice President, as reflected by the continued sell-off in Trump Media stock.

"Trump Media stock's latest drop adds to the stock's long-running decline, particularly since Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene entered the fray.

On October 22, 2021, she invested up to $50,000 in DJT when shares were soaring at $92-$94.

Since then, the stock has nosedived by around 83%, marking Greene's entry as a clear peak."

.

"Elsewhere, cybersecurity company CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) became one of Marjorie Taylor Greene's more eyebrow-raising moves.

On June 24, she opened a new position at $377.93. Fast forward to September 12, and it's now trading at $253.53"a cool 33% dip. Keep in mind, Greene sits on the House Cybersecurity Subcommittee, adding a certain irony to the situation.

Greene has now evolved into a kind of Jim Cramer-esque figure in the investment world, with her trades inspiring chatter about creating an "Inverse Greene ETF""an amusing jab given her less-than-stellar performance.

As one analyst noted, "Politician trust ratings are at an all-time low," and Greene's portfolio isn't exactly doing much to counter that sentiment.

To add another layer of intrigue, on January 2, 2024, Greene claimed she didn't own any stocks"only to pull the classic "I'm holding it for a friend" defense when asked why her name still appeared on Congressional stock reports.

By May 21, she reported a fresh $840K worth of trades, including 14 new moves totaling around $210K."

Makes a feller wonder....

@#1 ... Since then, the stock has nosedived by around 83% ...

If (when?) fmr Pres Trump starts selling his shares, I doubt if that will make the stock price rise.

But odder things have happened on Wall Street.

So, time will tell.

I heard a financial commentator say that if/when Trump sells his stock, it would probably be to a single investor in a private transaction that wouldn't immediately tank the stock price on the market.

As I translate that, Trump is going to receive a direct windfall from someone(s) who certainly expect reciprocation - probably favorable legislation or policy - should he become President again.

With all things Trump, there's always a quid pro quo, since as he brags he's the best negotiator ever.

This was Chinese and Saudi money mainly for the Trump Media start-up, which was always a scam; a way to cover up transferring funds from foreign sources to an American President.

And it's werking so far... he'll get the funds, and other people will have lost money betting on him.

Pretty sure he enjoys one about as much as the other, as con-artists need marks, and enjoy the pain they suffer for it's own sake.

And why not? This Trump Media scam that the Gov held up before finally OK'ing it is werking so well, he'll double-down on it any way he can.

I swear, he gets away with so much that I still think he fits the Description of the Man of Sin:
