This is going to be a huge problem. Best case is Trump is operating a pump and dump scheme. Worst case and more likely, this is going to be a way for foreign entities to funnel cash to him while bypassing the correct channels.

It's not a Pump & Dump scheme, it's just an out of control memestock:

TMTG has never turned a profit. The company, which operates the social media platform Truth Social and plans to launch a streaming service in the next year lost $49mn in the first nine months of last year and took in $3.4mn in revenue.

The valuation is pricey for a company that has racked up tens of millions of dollars in losses since launching in 2021. Social media firm Reddit is valued at about $8 billion following its recent initial public offering. It had more than $800 million in sales last year. Trump Media's Truth Social platform generated $3.3 million in revenue during the first nine months of 2023.

Completely illogical that it should be valued at 5 billion.

Trump can't cash out until 6 months have passed so he needs it to hold at the current market valuation.

Cool, then tell me what I should do? I've made 150% so should I now sell?

Trump is apparently selling 60 dollar bibles now

Erm, yeah.

He also got quizzed on his favourite passage from the bible in an interview, and said something along the lines of, "tough one, I'd have to say the best of the bible".

Erm, yeah.

Holy gooseberry fool.

Beyond satire.

Obviously this is another money making scheme for him but I wonder if this signifies his intent to lean even further into Christianity during his campaign.

Not sure that will be a good strategy-more likely to turn off the independents I'd have thought.

From the FAQ

WHAT IF MY BIBLE HAS STICKY PAGES?
Are some of the pages in your Bibles sticking together? No worries, this is very common with new Bibles that have gold gilding around the edges of the paper. For your convenience, we have provided links to a Youtube video that does a wonderful job of explaining how to break your new Bible in.

A common problem I'm sure.

Erm, yeah.

One of the FAQs on that website is "What if my Bible has sticky pages?"

God strawberry floating damn you Tomous

Break your new bible in, before turning your attention to breaking the alter boy in.

We're in for some really scary, theocratic nationalist gooseberry fool at the end of this year, aren't we?

Scenario 1: Trump wins – this is an extremely, extremely bad scenario in which he goes full psychopathic dictator as the Commander in Chief of the most powerful country in the world

Scenario 2: Biden wins – Trump's deranged followers are simply not going to accept it, and the insurrection we saw in 2020 will look like a playground scrap in comparison to what they will do

Obviously, we hope for Scenario 2, that its consequences are brought quickly under control, and the country somehow finds a way to move on under a second Biden term. But it's going to be ugly .

Re: scenario 2, I actually don't think the next attempted insurrection will be as violent. The key difference is Biden will be in power and will have the relevant authorities prepped and ready to go.

There will be pockets of trouble all over the country, no doubt though.

Scenario 3: RFK Jr wins - vaccines are banned, 5G banned, a new golden age is ushered in.

There is also of course the scenario that 1 of them dies between now and the election, which is the wildcard.

Could still get elected.
