Trump Media jumps more than 9% after CEO asks House GOP to probe possible DJT stock ‘manipulation’

• Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes sent a letter to allies on Capitol Hill to press them to investigate potential manipulation of his company’s stock.
• Nunes asked Republican lawmakers to probe “anomalous trading” of the stock, which trades under the ticker DJT on the Nasdaq.
• The stock price has lost more than half of its value since its trading debut, but the volatile stock shot up more than 9% on Wednesday.
• The company, which created the Truth Social app, is majority-owned by former President Donald Trump.

Ok, throwing random bullshit against the wall to see if any sticks. Got it.

Glad to see it supports a vigorous fantasy life as well.

I got chosen to lead my department a long time ago. I still have the congratulations card where they wrote, “now you can get in there and get some of this fixed” and, of course, it was much harder than it looked. First there’s “it’s the way we’ve always done things” (the conservative position) and then there are the ones willing to change - but they all have different ideas how, and a lot of them are short sighted or impossible in the real world. And then there’s the inertia of, once approved, getting a team of people to change what they’re doing. Maybe even displacing them to another job as they become redundant. (After all, aren’t you supposed to move to efficiency?) And then, frequently, perfect becomes the enemy of good enough.

Upshot: in the real world, it’s not virtue signaling; it’s having a worthy goal and slowly, even using switchbacks, trying to advance towards that goal - in the face of a lot of opposition who want things to stay the same or even go backwards. You know, when things were great.

Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, tried to claim Trump is taking "great pains" to comply with the gag order.
The Judge literally looked at Blanche in utter disbelief and then said "You're losing all credibility. I have to tell you right now, you're losing all credibility with the Court."
Now, I'm not a lawyer and I don't pretend to be one, but if you ARE a lawyer and the judge in your most important case says to you in PUBLIC "you're losing all credibility with the court," well, it seems to me that would be BAD, lawyering wise, and maybe you should think about a career in something else. Like dog walker or donut maker or just moving to a remote island without internet and spending the rest of your days eating raw coconut meat and thinking about your life choices.

It's mostly the flags. Giant flags flown off the back of their Priuses, but also hung off the balconies of their Hampton estates.

OK, when they start improvising I couldn’t stop giggling.

Many would say that Obama devotees / fans etc are (still) in a cult.  So, in line with your view ... 'Hopefully the cult will die with the man.'
