I looked into buying puts, but they're unbelievably expensive. Apparently nobody with puts to sell wants the stock either. It would seem that the greatest fools rushed on at the opening bell, so there are no Greater Fools to support the worst grift ever conceived.

Ta, Gary. Isn't TS suing the two Apprentice alums who started it?

Expand full comment

They're suing him for trying to steal some of their shares and give them to Melania, and he's suing them for causing the price to drop after they went public.

I'm sure they were shocked at how things turned out.

So far, two early investors in Toilet Social have pleaded guilty to insider trading. The company was bailed out by a Russian-American with Kremlin ties who is suspected of money laundering. The two apprenti who did all the real work are suing Trump for stock dilution. He in turn is suing them for mismanagement. The stock has lost nearly half its initial value since the IPO and there are now rumblings of a stock fraud investigation into this pump and dump scheme.

Cue the cartoon dog sitting in the burning room. “This is fine.”

Reminds of that scene in “Fun with Dick and Jane” where Jim Carrey was hung out to dry and you could see the stock price dropping on TV in real time as he tried to spin things.

Yeah turns out that building a social media platform for Nazis to scream at each other isn't exactly a profitable venture.

i think this local chain of coffee huts in my town in the middle of nowhere pulls in something like $2 million a year. i heard that number several years ago and they've built more since then.

Yes, but coffee is way more profitable than covfefe.

“We’re looking at the entire ecosystem. What does it take to protect people in the United States and around the world from these tyrants of Big Tech who want to silence them?”

Aaaaand it's straight in to the ethereal bullshit that doesn't mean a fucking thing.

Yes, racists and Nazi viewpoints are something every family should prize. Teach your children well...

Lost another $3.50 already on Monday. It is settling back to the pre-merger price of about $15 each. It will have taken all of a month to show the world how inherently worthless any business PAB runs is.

You would never doubt the word of the CEO of a platform called “Truth,” owned and inspired by Donald Trump would you.
