Stock only down 4% today.
He was hoping that the "it's the States decision" position would take off the National election table but of course it actually has had the opposite effect.
And he can't say he wasn't warned

In saying that abortion should be left up to the states in a video message Monday, and emphasizing his support for exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, Trump sought to take abortion as an electoral issue off the table for Democrats. Yet, Democrats have taken Trump’s comments as an endorsement of state abortion bans and point to Arizona as the latest example. Close Trump advisers warned him for months that taking a states’ rights position would force him to comment on each state’s abortion policies,
how much of the stock does that orangutan own?
how much of it is in play for the maga grandparents to hold onto?
He currently owns about 65/70% of the stock but none of his shares are in circulation.
Only about 25% of the current total shares are actually available to trade as all the rest are under lock-out agreements for the next 6 months.
And he has deals in place that will give him 90% of the stock if the stock price meets some criteria ($17 or better for any 20 days over the next 6 months).
It's not a real company and it's not a real stock - It's utterly unheard of for that much of the stock to be held by the board.
The tiny amount of shares available is what is inflating the price - Once the other shares become tradeable the price will plummet immediately if not long before.
It's "real" value based on any normal valuation calculation is probably something like 35 or 40 cents per share or about 100 times less that todays price.
Pretty much all on the money being bet. They try and get it so they will win money no matter what and adjust the odds to encourage betting one way or another. So if Biden shortens it means he has more bets recently and they are adjusting.
They had Trump to win long into the last election night and wanted to do so because they had a lot of bets on Trump. They are not making a prediction.
Polls now have crazy errors as it is still early.
And the simple question is, what has Trump done to gain any voters that he didn't have in 2020? If anything, he's surrounded with more scandal including a rape and an insurrection. It seems more likely that he's lost voters in that time.
Trump has become more extreme, if anything, and he doesn't even appear to want moderate Republican voters, if his comments about Nikki Haley's voters is anything to go by. The subtext of that is pretty worrying. Does he and his team have a plan to usurp the 2024 election with a minority of voters (following on from Michael Whatley's declaration about widescale hiring of partisan election workers) or is it just that enough people in the contentious states are ready to vote in someone who has openly bragged about taking revenge? If either of these are accurate, November will be fraught.
Has he got anything to do with The Fifth Column podcast?
I don't think so.
not a damn thing
Both actors actually look pretty similar to the characters they are playing.
There is the makings of a very good film from Trumps career in the 80's and 90's.
Next week going to be interesting as he becomes the first former President to go on trial in New York.
Gonna be some razz mattaz around that !
I’m not familiar with Strong but Stan is a solid talent
RFK Jr fires the campaign strategist who admitted on camera that the goal of the campaign was to defeat Biden (not Trump)

Most of the GOP commentary has been about spoiler votes and third candidates, very little on why someone would vote GOP.
The general stupidity of their candidates and supporters seems to be getting to them (remembering that these supporters, including those on this forum, believe utterly ludicrously stupid stuff like 2000 mules and puts them off voting).
Maybe, but he is also the first former president to be... insert list of achievements so it is almost just like another day
You have to watch Succession. Given how much you're into American media and politics, I think you'd like it. It's incredible.
… but the hostage release was only part of the situation …. like Israel v Hamas today ….
Ooh, stock dipped briefly below 30.
It's almost like it's just about to fall off a cliff and thousands of magats spend their last pennies buying as much as they can in order to prop up the share price.
It's stubbornly circling the drain about 30. Usually once it falls below the next 10 dollar mark, it drops fairly quickly to the next one.
You need to give Succession a watch, he's pretty good in that.
I really need to read to the end of the thread before I post, but agreed, it's a good fit for Overheal.
I've seen it said if DJT drops any lower Matt Gaetz will to **** it.
Thick as pigshít
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/12/trump-russia-ukraine-book-comments
Not sure what Gaetz has to do with this particular arc of the discussion? Is he a big $DJT holder? A candidate to be on Succession?
Once the price goes under 18.
I think it's more about if it drops below 18, Gaetz will be more interested in it (because of the accusations and investigations about him and underage girls).
which service is that on - damn I even subscribe to HBO, alright. Still have to try and will myself to get back into the wire. Loved season 1 but thrown by the apparent change of plot in season 2, I thought we’d stick with Idris and the gang. I mostly sub to HBO for this reason right here, this man spends every precious dollar wisely and wonderfully:
The hostages WAS the situation.
Not to go too far off topic, but keep going with The Wire if you get a chance too. It's jarring at the start of Season 2 with the new setting and characters, and that happens in each season with a new aspect of the city added in, but it's so worth it. The first half of each season can feel slow because of it, but it always comes together in an incredible way. If you do get past Season 2 (which is actually my favourite but that's a minority opinion), the show starts to deal more with politics and media. Succession also incredibly worth watching.
Succession in many ways also clearly mirrors a lot of the Fox and Trump stuff.
This really ain't good for the rapist
The other "not good thing" for Rapey McRapist about Corcoran is that he is a man that keeps copious contemporaneous notes of all his interactions.
So , he has massive amounts of details notes, provably taken on the dates stated of every single one of his interactions with Trump and team.
Those notes could do very serious damage.
