I always enjoy your commentary @D3 for LU

You're missing the difference. Those are things presidents do AFTER they are president.

It was a long bike ride. The mind wanders.

I heard someone else is something else.

I have an alternate theory. Theory #1 was Trump exits as soon as humanly possible. It is all found money. Get whatever you can. It certainly won't be billions, what with trying to sell 60% of the company. But the market has already anticipated this as the stock has slid hard in front of the lockup expiration. But Trump declared he will not be selling. So either he sells anyway and has to deal with certain litigation for securities fraud, or he does hold on. But with less than $4 million of annual revenue and something like $50 million of annual losses, what are you holding on to? Then it hit me. Bribes. If you are looking to influence a president what better way than to send wads of cash to his company, legitimately, by buying wads of services? And services are so much better than goods. Goods are inefficient. Goods have to be manufactured. Goods have a cost for the producer. Then goods have to be shipped. And where will you keep all those Trump bibles, and Trump hats, and Trump books? No, services are where it is at. And what better service than advertising? Advertising is so much more efficient. Money flows in one direction and nothing (?, good will? influence?) flows in the other direction. The marginal cost to host another ad on your site is just about zero (I think we are all living that experience now). Say you are Vladimir Putin and you really want the US to back off on all this Ukraine support, what can you do about that? Well, if the Greater Moscow Tourism Bureau were to buy $100 million of advertisements on Truth Social, what would be the harm? Just promoting good will between our two countries. Yes, advertising is the game if you want to bribe a president. Fortunately, Trump is too principled in too many ways to cheapen himself in that way. When I think of Trump, I think faithful. Ask any of his wives. If you can find Melania, that is.

Zero dollars and zero cents. I have never shorted a stock in my personal account in my life. And a meme stock? That is for more foolish men than I.

Never that I know of. I am posing a hypothetical based on the parallels to Musk.

The SEC has not gone after Trump. And they had previously gone after Musk over his Tesla tweets, but then did not over his Twitter purchases.

BTW this raises another fascinating possibility. When Elon Musk was buying Twitter stock he clearly violated securities laws by not filing with the SEC when he breached the 5% threshold. He did finally file once his position was north of 9%, but the SEC has declined to charge him with any violation (though he is facing investor lawsuits over it). Would the SEC charge Trump with securities violations if he started selling DJT even after he has publicly stated he would not (as an insider he has a different obligation with regard to his statements about intent than just a regular shareholder)? And would they charge him if he failed to file the proper documentation to sell (Rule 10b5-1)?

Interesting afternoon in DJT. Starting about 30 minutes ago someone (or someones) have been on a buying spree. Volume spiked along with price. About 8 or 9 million shares have traded in the last 30 minutes (vs an averge daily volume of ~8 million) and the price went from 16.25 to 21 before reverting some to 18.60. Curiouser and curiouser. Edit: just saw DJT says he is not selling DJT when the lock up expires. Should you believe him this time?

While I know I will not sway you from your opinion, almost no one shares it with you. And from Polymarkets: Before the debate Trump lead Harris 52 to 46 in their "Who will win the election?" market, he now trails 49 to 50.

I will go one step further. Trump's performance was the second worst ever for a nominee, or presumptive nominee, behind only Joe Biden's. Even Nixon's famous first debate with Kennedy was a better performance than what we saw from Trump.

I am incredulous that they did not know before they pulled him over that he was one of the Dolphins players. They are working traffic control outside the stadium, on game day, on the route the players take, at the time the players arrive, and Hill was driving in a rare supercar. These cops were not there randomly. They were specifically assigned to work there on game day.

Do you know Laura Loomer's views on 9/11?

I have no notes. A+

How do you feel about Trump traveling around NY visiting firefighters on 9/11 with Laura Loomer?

Yeah, but tough beat for Zach Glazier. He goes from the Iowa savior, most valuable wrestler, for inducing the splits, to surplus to requirements.

Trump political advisor, Mark Penn, calls for an investigation. I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you. I have a lead for him. Check JD Vance's facebook feed to see if ABC planted the Springfield cat-with-a-side-of-dog dinner story.

Huh?

Great idea. We need more coach wrestle offs.

Will an ABC whistleblower also reveal they told Trump immigrants in Springfield are stealing and eating pets? After all he heard it on TV.

Allegedly is doing all the work in that tweet

Is it always 0 days and we are just always behind?

especially if it does that. any errors take on an air of authority.
