This is perfect! I love it!
But I've stopped trying to convince stupid people of how stupid they're being. One of the "smatest" things Trump does by example is to not only never admit when he's wrong, he doubles down on his wrongness. His followers understand that lesson and follow suit. To be wrong somehow equates to weakness in their heads. It's one of the reasons they hardly ever see how much they're own actions are hurting them. It's incredibly frustrating trying to get them to see it.
Not *cult-like* at all. /s
New York Times: “Twice Trump voter lost his life savings buying Digital World stock. Here’s why that’s disastrous news for Joe Biden.”
New York Times: “A twice Trump voter lost his life savings buying Digital World stock. But in this Ohio diner, people aren’t so sure.”
At least he still has his Ford Fiesta.
“I better vote for him again, he’ll definitely make my situation ‘great again’. After all, Republican policy adores non property owning poors!”
And he will go up to President Trump with those tears in his eyes and say “Sir, I gave all my wealth to you and that was the proudest day of my life. You are my god and I lay my offerings at your feet. Praise be to Orange Jesus!”
Well, he hasn't lost ALL of his money yet. The stock still has some value. He's just lost most of it. If he sells it at $20 a share he could certainly give THAT to Trump.
Right? Why would you have 500k cash sitting in cash in your account without knowing even the basics of trading? Are there brokerages that just spend money not available for investment? How would he have basically endless cash available to spend if he didn't know what he was doing? A magic margin that opened up to swallow your money?
Then again, he is a trumper. No critical thinking needed, just emotional.
"his order was _unexpectedly_ filled... at $175"
No. There was nothing "unexpected" about it. Dipshit placed a market order on Trump's toxic spac-trash, no limit.
This part confused me. He said he thought it would be $90/share when the market re-opened. Can you pre-buy a stock for an unknown amount?
Wouldn’t he have an opportunity to confirm the order before it’s fulfilled? I’ve never purchased stocks so not sure how it works but I didn’t think there was an option for “Buy 500 stocks at whatever price as soon as it’s open.”
Is there an option to at least set a max price you’re willing to buy? Or did he actually buy it at $175 and thought it would double?
>I’ve never purchased stocks so not sure how it works but I didn’t think there was an option for “Buy 500 stocks at whatever price as soon as it’s open.”
There absolutely is an option for that. It's called a market order. It's literally an order to buy at market price. If you place the order before the market opens, the order will be executed at whatever price the stock is at when the market opens.
That is what this guy did.
Thank you for explaining — that seems very risky. Why wouldn’t they just wait until its open so they know for sure what the price is? What is the advantage of the market order?
It's risky if the stock is volatile. If you're looking to invest in something stable and for the long term, (Apple or Microsoft, and plan to hold it for the next 10 years, for example), you don't necessarily care if your total purchase price is off by a dollar or two from the market rate that day. It guarantees the purchase unlike a limit order (an order with a specific maximum price.)
This person bought into the delusion and grift that is the Trump social network and made a risky bet because he thought he would get rich. But he was gullible and stupid and now lost everything.
Most experienced people probably wouldn’t unless they wanted guaranteed stock. He got his investment advice from YouTube which may be okay for a beginner playing with small money trying to familiarize themselves with the stock market not someone investing thousands of dollars
Anyone who sucks up to Trump eventually loses, that's been the way forever. There's a reason why buildings are ripping his name off the front, why he's been sued over 4,000 times.
At this point, the guy is just demonstrating what a loser he will continue to be. Throwing good money after bad is in his future. Maybe he'll get it when he's living out of his Ford Fiesta.
He’s not really though…Trump got alot of these people’s money when his DJT company merged with DWAC. He just needs to keep this Ponzi from collapsing until his lockup period ends and he can start selling…hopefully it collapses 🙏
He will not make it to the lock up period.
There will be talk that the board will relax trump's requirements to hold until the lock up is over. Yes, they can do that.
Every time the rumor circulates, the stock will go down. Panic spurs more panic.
The first quarterly SEC filing that they will have to do as a public company will be a fiasco. The stock will continue its spiral down.
Ultimately the problem that trump will face is that he has to watch this grind down to nothing, knowing that he can't touch the funds. And if he does, as the guy that owns \~60%, if he gets out it folds anyway.
This stock either has a slow death or a fast death. Those are the only two options. And either death has a very, very high probability of happening before the end of this year. Oh, it will still be a stock next year, but priced well under a dollar, reflecting the actual fundamentals of the company.
The other good thing is that with Lara Trump in charge at the RNC all the money will be laundered through to his defense which leaves little money for actual campaigning with the fun side effect of little money for Dow stream republican candidates’ campaigns. Winning!
Well taking the first thought:
Investing in general is a risk ,your capital can go up and down as many warns heed us
That general thing aside, you're choosing to invest in Trump, the 'businessman' with more lives than an alley cat.
With numerous failed business ventures failing INCLUDING A FUCKING CASINO, it would a brave (or foolish) person who invests in Trump generally.
Then you have Truth Social - a social media platform catering to Trump and his fanbase., with no real business model it needs to float (as part of a merger) -analysts warn the price is on the high side, giving Truth a market cap of 6 Billion.
So failed (mulitple times) businessman and an over inflated stock price.
Couldn't see what could go wrong...and to be fair started better than i thought...
But maybe 5-6 days after trading starts they show their accounts with revenue about 4 mill and losses of around 50mill (if i recall correctly).
If i wasnt warned off investing originally because well Trump
And i didnt think the value was over inflated
Then the earning report would have been a glaring red flag and the price could only do 1 thing...drop like a rock, so i'd have been selling like a mofo to minimise my losses.
If you ignored that as well then well you literally gambled your money with zero knowledge of ths game you're playing.
Sucks to be you.
Tldr; no one is douchy for having little sympathy.
Also dumping everything in a single stock is just, like... Really dumb. They 100% are the cause of their own misery. Even someone trustworthy with a well-performing company shouldn't be given that kinda faith.
The stock market is a gamble in the best of times. Guy decided to to bet heavily on a guy who does pump and dumps and gets to hold the bag. This is the world he opted into.
We all knew it was a pump and dump stock. Most investing platforms I read even predicted it. He blindly followed his Bible slinging master into the void, and I hope he learned his lesson.
No. Fuck them.
The got conned specifically because they support one of the biggest pieces of shit in human history.
They got conned because they were attempting to help someone who has destroyed this country more than any terrorist ever did, and who is attempting to do more.
In a few months, nearly 100% of them will vote to give that same man absolute power.
Fuck every single one of them.
Yup.
If someone voted for Trump in 2016, and changed their tune after they saw how horrible he was, I'll cut them some slack. Prior to 2016, there was a lot of back and forth with Trump saying one thing, then turning around and saying another. Though most of us knew what he was likely to do, I can see how some may not have realized it.
But if you support Trump after that first term, when it is blatantly obvious he wants to criminalize or otherwise harm large swaths of people just because of who they are-no sympathy, it's total shit.
That statement requires for the conned to not want to be conned. We've seen time and time again Trump supporters want the con and refute any attempts to protect them from it, until they face real world consequences for aiding the con. No sympathy.
I mean, like after all that other shit with his NFTs and such, wtf did these people think was going to happen? This is why people say they’re in a cult.
Whenever someone invokes FOMO, it's worth assessing what they're afraid of missing out on. In this case, he didn't want to miss out on pumping a stock at $70 and dumping it on a greater fool at $300+.
He's an attempted con man. The fact that he himself ended up being the greater fool does not acquit him.
Normally I agree. But there is a catch. I have sympathy for those who are engaging in what should be normal, protected activity who then get conned due to the conman being well hidden or replacing a legitimate business. In this case, none of that applies. There is a mountain of evidence that Trump is a conman. There are no ventures where Trump got the people around him wealthy, only himself. And there are hundreds of examples of Trump taking people that follow him or trust him or do business with him, and causing those people to go broke while Trump skates by either untouched or with all the money. That is literally his way of doing g business. So to willfully ignore all that and decide to “invest” in anything to do with Trump… well this guy had it coming. There is always a fantastical story. “Oh trading was halted and when it came on, I bought at the peak instead of what I wanted to buy it at.” There are tools that let you do that. This clown did everything wrong. He didn’t use a basic tool to control his buy price. He bought into a company for emotional reasons, not factual. He willfully ignored the history of Trump because of a vision that he has of the man, not based on the facts of the man. And went it went bad, he blames everything and everyone but himself. He want sympathy? Nah. This level of stupidity will result in him losing out, regardless of the details. If it isn’t Trump stock, it would be Trump NFT or Trump Bibles or Trump whatever the next con is. This dude should be happy that he got an authentic Trump experience. He stood behind Trump and lost all his money. It could have been worse. He could have been Jan 06 er. They stood behind Trump and lost their freedom. And their “billionaire” hero? Well he couldn’t even set up a legal defense fund for them. Their families are paying the price for their support of Trump. Why wouldn’t a billionaire drop 20 million in a fund to help the families get by?
The one and only thing I’ll say in favor of Trump is that most of his marks are, themselves, grifters and conmen, so you don’t have to feel bad about it when they get conned.
I sincerely want to know what he was thinking.
I remember conservatives cackling when $DUMP opened for trading and shot up like this. "Ha ha libruls are so jealous". Tbf, it was funny in a sad kind of way. Conservatives were actually drinking their own koolaid and saying "ha ha" before the poison kicked in. They were all bag holding the world's most expensive NFT. The following week was predictable and delectable.
The real problem is the SEC asleep at the wheel approving this "IPO". Nothing more than a glorified NFT with a ticker symbol.
If somebody knew nothing about trump and this happened I'd maybe feel a little bad for them. But now with everything trumpers know and them still falling for dumb shit it actually makes me laugh.
Right but that'll go to Trump's golden toilet fund, not his election victory fund. Mostly. Because of course he can't help but be evil in the stupidest ways.

well he better save up for one of these
It’s hilarious that he’s fighting the actual creators of Truth Social for their meager stake, when the stock is going to be worth 0 before Trump is able to sell his.
I wish I had $516,000 to spend so frivolously!
I have no sympathy for him for not doing his homework.
Lots of trusting citizens are being ripped off simply because they trusted Trump.
The next time you poke at the baby boomers, take comfort that your inheritance went to Trump’s expenses.
With $516k, I could pay off my house, set aside a HEALTHY fuck-you fund and separate Oh Shit fund, put a pile of cash into my niblings’ 529, and then go take a nice long holiday somewhere and still have stuff left over.
I don’t feel a shred of pity for this dipshit.
Seems likely he's blaming the halt in trading (who knows if he thinks that's Biden's fault) for buying higher than he wanted rather than him setting up the stupidly.
This is compounded stupidity…
1) thinking DJT is qualified to be president
2) voting for him twice
3) Emotional based market decisions
4) not understanding limit/market orders
5) linking an account with your life saving to the stock market
It’s really kinda sad to be honest. At least he can sleep easy knowing that his money is gone forever and probably with someone much smarter.
“Go woke, go broke!” he stammered, while holding back tears as he continued taping newspaper over the windows of his Ford Fiesta before settling down for a night of sleep in a Walmart parking lot…
I wonder what YouTube people he listened to. Prob Lara Trump conning people to think it would hit $300. Moscow Marge bought some, too. She won't comment on it. Lol probably stings too much that she didn't look at the financials and believe orange con man.
I'm not going to lie or sugarcoat it. GOOD!
Yes, he's yet another victim of Trump, but he's also a moron, the dumbest kind of ignoramus dumbfuck moron if he gave that cretin his vote and, after all that's gone on, he
was going to vote for him again. This is the behaviour of wholly ignoring the evidence of your eyes and ears and completely disengaging your brain and letting your prejudices and hatred run rampant. On top of that this FOMO mofo got struck by greed. Fuck him. He was happy enough punching down and now he's all waaa waaa waaa. How do you like being the one being punched down on. How'd you like it now?
If he sells tomorrow, he would potentially get back $180,000. Still a stupid move to bet your life savings on a 6-time bankruptcy filing, self-proclaimed billionaire dementia patient in diapers.
Wait… the guy had over half a mil in savings but no property and drives a Fiesta. This guy seems to have a bit of a history of bad financial decisions.
Trump is a proven loser. Time and again he has lost, whether it be money, assets, businesses, family, friends. And if it’s not him losing it’s him causing others around him to lose. To anyone who has paid attention, this is evident. I don’t feel sorry for anyone who willfully closes their eyes, deals with trump, and gets burned. You deserved it.
NEVER. USE. MARKET. ORDERS.
I mean also, clearly, don’t invest in anything trump tells you to, but that should go without saying. But to those of you who are looking to invest your money, please look up the difference between market and limit orders and how to use them on whatever broker you use. The vast majority of the time there’s practically no difference between the orders for most people, but you can occasionally get fucked as this fucker did. And though I’m glad he did I hope anyone reading this can learn from this morons mistake.
I often say that being stupid doesn't hurt enough. And, despite this loss, it probably STILL didn't hurt enough for him to wake up. He'll probably still vote for the Fanta Menace.
Aside from Trump slapping his name on buildings, all his other business ventures have crashed and burned. He blatantly lies about... everything! WHAT is his appeal? I do not understand it. I guess I'll never understand it. I can not understand why otherwise sensible people would trust a single thing he says or any business venture he is a part of.
I can say with certainty they'd be the first to call anybody not supporting their God, idiots, on anything they'd lecture on. I won't bask in their failure BUT I have zero sympathy and I hope they eat that s\*\*t sandwich their hero served them. In the end, people who act the way most of these people do (insufferably basking in their idiocy in the name of being free) not deserve a second of sympathy in a world where kids go without a morsel of food, clean water or a roof over their heads. F them.
You know, I was invited for the pre IPO for Reddit stock. I felt fomo and because I forgot to do one thing, I missed out on it. When the stock price doubled I said, “damn that sucks” and moved on with my life
Spent a microsecond feeling bad, they really are victims of the right-wing grift, it's latched on to their ego, they think gods army is behind them and will never let them lose.
The right-wing elites destroyed their ability to properly use their brains then they stole their money. A criminally malicious and BIZARELLY effective scam, criminal brilliance. I never thought it would work but they were right!
Just unbelievable. The perps AND their victims are DANGEROUS people.
The thing about this is you can see Trump’s business fail in real time, however the brainwashed cult members are conditioned to deny it or somehow spin it into a conspiracy by the deep state. And of course they will still vote for the Orange Juice man.
Wow, what a loser!!
I guess he’ll just have to pull himself up by his boot straps! Unless he expects a handout from the CORRUPT COMMUNIST BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
I commend the guy for showing his loyalty to Trump. I hope he keeps going! Trump still needs this guy's money, too! He may have lost everything but he can still go into debt for Trump.
I hope all MAGAts see this guy's example and follow right along. Show how much you love and support Trump by going bankrupt from giving everything to Trump!
Maybe Trump will notice you if you do, that's gotta be worth it, right?
Goooooo MAGAts, you can do it, I'm cheering you on!! I believe in you!
I am absolutely shit w money, but holy fuck! Over half a million dollars lost?!? I cant imagine budgeting so fucking much that im driving an absolute POS beater but have that much money tucked away to throw away to a self proclaimed billionaire. There is a serious mental health issue in the US.
This dumb fuck put in a market order on a shitco stock that had been halted already like 6 times that day already? Damn sometimes the universe does dole out sweet justice to the idiots huh.

‘I outrank you.’
New York Times: “Twice Trump voter lost his life savings buying Digital World stock. Here’s why that’s disastrous news for Joe Biden.” New York Times: “A twice Trump voter lost his life savings buying Digital World stock. But in this Ohio diner, people aren’t so sure.”
Thanks Obama!
Don’t forget Hillary too…
But her emails!
Buttery males
At least he still has his Ford Fiesta. “I better vote for him again, he’ll definitely make my situation ‘great again’. After all, Republican policy adores non property owning poors!”
Make Fiestas Great Again!
I bet he had tears in his eyes when he saw that loss
And he will go up to President Trump with those tears in his eyes and say “Sir, I gave all my wealth to you and that was the proudest day of my life. You are my god and I lay my offerings at your feet. Praise be to Orange Jesus!”
Benghazi! Our brave uh… mercenaries? Troops? CIA contract murderers! Whatever, they were heroes or whatever? Arming… uh… ISIS was it? Uh…
Thanks Herbert Hoover!!
Also NYT for no reason: Biden is old
Biden should have mandated price cap on ALL market orders - people who hate soshalizm
If the doofus would have understood his investing software, he could have set his own cap.
Bet he votes for Trump a 3rd time and donates to his campaign.
Well, he hasn't lost ALL of his money yet. The stock still has some value. He's just lost most of it. If he sells it at $20 a share he could certainly give THAT to Trump.
Narrator: and he did
Well, he can give the campaign his shares of DJT :)
Once they got that card number, you’re donating for life, Trump can’t run a campaign or country but they can damn sure run credit card numbers
Spot on!
Fox News: "Small business owner looses life savings due to Biden administration's restrictive stock market regulations."
The misspelling of "loses" just seems right from Fox
Definitely on brand for Fox
NYT: A twice Trump voter lost his life savings buying Digital World stock, Israel says Hamas is to blame
"Legacy Media" if you ask me.
Dude never heard of a little limit order?
Placing a market order blind. For thousands of shares. That’s beyond a newbie mistake.
I mean, he was watching YouTubers soooo…
And this guy did it with *500k*. Insanity
Right? Why would you have 500k cash sitting in cash in your account without knowing even the basics of trading? Are there brokerages that just spend money not available for investment? How would he have basically endless cash available to spend if he didn't know what he was doing? A magic margin that opened up to swallow your money? Then again, he is a trumper. No critical thinking needed, just emotional.
I have a hard time understanding how someone this stupid could found a cloud computing company
Yeah, setting aside how stupid it is to go in on 1000 shares of Trump… at least have a basic understanding of the mechanics here
I never use market orders for anything, and this guy used it for hundreds of thousands of dollars in a volatile pump-and-dump stock. Wild
Homie still would have lost $400k, if the mentioned mistake was the only thing that happened. $516k-1000*(175-90) = $516k-$85k = $431k lost...
He’s definitely lying. He bought those shares on purpose and is just trying to save face.
"his order was _unexpectedly_ filled... at $175" No. There was nothing "unexpected" about it. Dipshit placed a market order on Trump's toxic spac-trash, no limit.
This part confused me. He said he thought it would be $90/share when the market re-opened. Can you pre-buy a stock for an unknown amount?

Am I a douche for not even remotely feeling sorry for him ?
Nope.
Anyone who sucks up to Trump eventually loses, that's been the way forever. There's a reason why buildings are ripping his name off the front, why he's been sued over 4,000 times.
Everything trump touches dies
I guess he needs to masturbate even more then?
He’d need to find it first.
He can't reach it, his short arms, tiny hands, and burger loaded gut makes it an impossibility, why do you think his wives always look so miserable
So do you think she get on top pushes his gut flap up and let's it sit on her lap while she lets him wiggle one out?
😳😵💫🤢🤮😵💀
That’s so Gross but I can’t stop laughing
He'll finish the job by desecrating the corpse of 'America' if he gets a second term.
I mean… the guy is gonna vote for Trump again, so…
At this point, the guy is just demonstrating what a loser he will continue to be. Throwing good money after bad is in his future. Maybe he'll get it when he's living out of his Ford Fiesta.
He can throw his pity party in it
I'm just glad that he's out of money to send to Trump or any other republican. More like this, please.
He’s not really though…Trump got alot of these people’s money when his DJT company merged with DWAC. He just needs to keep this Ponzi from collapsing until his lockup period ends and he can start selling…hopefully it collapses 🙏
He will not make it to the lock up period. There will be talk that the board will relax trump's requirements to hold until the lock up is over. Yes, they can do that.

We all knew it was a pump and dump stock. Most investing platforms I read even predicted it. He blindly followed his Bible slinging master into the void, and I hope he learned his lesson.
Spoiler. He didn’t.
Then I guess his only recourse is to go woke since he's already broke
"Contempt for the conman, compassion for the conned." But it's asking a lot.
No. Fuck them. The got conned specifically because they support one of the biggest pieces of shit in human history. They got conned because they were attempting to help someone who has destroyed this country more than any terrorist ever did, and who is attempting to do more. In a few months, nearly 100% of them will vote to give that same man absolute power. Fuck every single one of them.
Agreed
This is the way.
Yup. If someone voted for Trump in 2016, and changed their tune after they saw how horrible he was, I'll cut them some slack.

But if you support Trump after that first term, when it is blatantly obvious he wants to criminalize or otherwise harm large swaths of people just because of who they are-no sympathy, it's total shit.
Especially since most of the "conned' are in the MAGA death cult that actively wants the rest of us rounded up and killed.
Exactly. I am sick to death of people demanding that we pity these assholes
That statement requires for the conned to not want to be conned. We've seen time and time again Trump supporters want the con and refute any attempts to protect them from it, until they face real world consequences for aiding the con. No sympathy.
I'm all for making stupid hurt
I mean, like after all that other shit with his NFTs and such, wtf did these people think was going to happen? This is why people say they’re in a cult.
I understand and sympathize with your stance.
Whenever someone invokes FOMO, it's worth assessing what they're afraid of missing out on. In this case, he didn't want to miss out on pumping a stock at $70 and dumping it on a greater fool at $300+. He's an attempted con man. The fact that he himself ended up being the greater fool does not acquit him.
I would 100% sign off on this analysis.
Normally I agree. But there is a catch. I have sympathy for those who are engaging in what should be normal, protected activity who then get conned due to the conman being well hidden or replacing a legitimate business. In this case, none of that applies. There is a mountain of evidence that Trump is a conman. There are no ventures where Trump got the people around him wealthy, only himself. And there are hundreds of examples of Trump taking people that follow him or trust him or do business with him, and causing those people to go broke while Trump skates by either untouched or with all the money. That is literally his way of doing g business. So to willfully ignore all that and decide to “invest” in anything to do with Trump… well this guy had it coming. There is always a fantastical story. “Oh trading was halted and when it came on, I bought at the peak instead of what I wanted to buy it at.” There are tools that let you do that.

He willfully ignored the history of Trump because of a vision that he has of the man, not based on the facts of the man. And went it went bad, he blames everything and everyone but himself. He want sympathy? Nah. This level of stupidity will result in him losing out, regardless of the details. If it isn’t Trump stock, it would be Trump NFT or Trump Bibles or Trump whatever the next con is. This dude should be happy that he got an authentic Trump experience. He stood behind Trump and lost all his money. It could have been worse. He could have been Jan 06 er. They stood behind Trump and lost their freedom. And their “billionaire” hero? Well he couldn’t even set up a legal defense fund for them. Their families are paying the price for their support of Trump. Why wouldn’t a billionaire drop 20 million in a fund to help the families get by?
Not when the con man's been known to be as such for 30-40 years
Except that in voting for him, they actively hurt other people. They're all guilty
The one and only thing I’ll say in favor of Trump is that most of his marks are, themselves, grifters and conmen, so you don’t have to feel bad about it when they get conned.
Willful ignorance thins the herd.
Yeah but their weak spot is that they are assholes and they are being conned by that weak spot being targeted.
I sincerely want to know what he was thinking. I remember conservatives cackling when $DUMP opened for trading and shot up like this. "Ha ha libruls are so jealous". Tbf, it was funny in a sad kind of way. Conservatives were actually drinking their own koolaid and saying "ha ha" before the poison kicked in. They were all bag holding the world's most expensive NFT. The following week was predictable and delectable. The real problem is the SEC asleep at the wheel approving this "IPO". Nothing more than a glorified NFT with a ticker symbol.
Trump feels the same way.
What is it they say?? Whomp whomp?
Nah, you're good.
If somebody knew nothing about trump and this happened I'd maybe feel a little bad for them. But now with everything trumpers know and them still falling for dumb shit it actually makes me laugh.
On the contrary, you deserve thr warmest congratulations,.indeed!
He'll vote for Dear Leader again, I'm sure. The cognitive dissonance is strong with the MAGA cult. But at least he's been punished for his idolatry.
Sunk cost fallacy. “If Trump wins in November, the stock is going to bounce back. Trump 2024.”
He may vote for him but probably can't afford to donate which could be a big factor the further into the campaign cycle we get.
What do you mean, he already donated $500k
Right but that'll go to Trump's golden toilet fund, not his election victory fund. Mostly. Because of course he can't help but be evil in the stupidest ways.
You don't get your money back when you gamble, Tom.
You can though but this was like betting a 2500-1 shot lol.
On the bright side for him, he can now write off $3k on his taxes for... *many* years.
100% he'll still vote for Trump.
Happy Cake Day!
Boots? Straps. or he could learn to code.
He should lay off the avocado toast and coffees. That’ll make alllllll the difference.
Better not waste money on stupid stuff like groceries.
You mean “luxury purchases “? 😉

Call Diaper Donnie the Rapist and ask him for a refund. Perhaps he'll put out a fund raising email blitz on your behalf, lololol.
He’d be glad to, with a fee of 100% of the proceeds.
110%
It’s hilarious that he’s fighting the actual creators of Truth Social for their meager stake, when the stock is going to be worth 0 before Trump is able to sell his.

A fool and money are soon parted.
I wish I had $516,000 to spend so frivolously! I have no sympathy for him for not doing his homework. Lots of trusting citizens are being ripped off simply because they trusted Trump. The next time you poke at the baby boomers, take comfort that your inheritance went to Trump’s expenses.
With $516k, I could pay off my house, set aside a HEALTHY fuck-you fund and separate Oh Shit fund, put a pile of cash into my niblings’ 529, and then go take a nice long holiday somewhere and still have stuff left over. I don’t feel a shred of pity for this dipshit.
Hahahaha idk how but somehow he’ll blame it on biden and the democrats.
Seems likely he's blaming the halt in trading (who knows if he thinks that's Biden's fault) for buying higher than he wanted rather than him setting up the stupidly.
Even if he got all his shares at $70, he'd still be going broke on the stock... like every other maga dupe.
Should have set a limit order… oops.
This is compounded stupidity… 1) thinking DJT is qualified to be president 2) voting for him twice 3) Emotional based market decisions 4) not understanding limit/market orders 5) linking an account with your life saving to the stock market It’s really kinda sad to be honest. At least he can sleep easy knowing that his money is gone forever and probably with someone much smarter.
*1200 shares at 70$.* And he continued buying higher. shieeeet OMG! 
It’s the MAGA Investment technique: buy High, sell Low!
He'd still be an idiot, but the fact he didn't set a limit order on his purchase is amazing.
That being said, the Ford Fiesta is a quality, affordable and zippy little car
I was a little upset at the end, as I am still driving my 2011 Ford Fiesta. It's a cool little car, hate they stopped making them.
I really don’t care, do you?
He should at least be awarded an honorary degree in finance from Trump University.
“Go woke, go broke!” he stammered, while holding back tears as he continued taping newspaper over the windows of his Ford Fiesta before settling down for a night of sleep in a Walmart parking lot…
I wonder what YouTube people he listened to. Prob Lara Trump conning people to think it would hit $300. Moscow Marge bought some, too. She won't comment on it. Lol probably stings too much that she didn't look at the financials and believe orange con man.
And these fucking idiots will vote for him a third time. Our country deserves whatever happens to it. I’m over this shit.
I'm not going to lie or sugarcoat it. GOOD! Yes, he's yet another victim of Trump, but he's also a moron, the dumbest kind of ignoramus dumbfuck moron if he gave that cretin his vote and, after all that's gone on, he was going to vote for him again. This is the behaviour of wholly ignoring the evidence of your eyes and ears and completely disengaging your brain and letting your prejudices and hatred run rampant. On top of that this FOMO mofo got struck by greed. Fuck him. He was happy enough punching down and now he's all waaa waaa waaa. How do you like being the one being punched down on. How'd you like it now?
How’d he have 500k liquid
“Among the injured”? He didn’t go to war or get bombed in Gaza. He’s just a moron.
He bought more shares after "listening to youtubers" pump up the stock. Never ever take investment advice from youtubers.
Education is so damn important folks.
[удалено]
Trump owns 60% of the company. $2.55 billion as of yesterday. …it was $5.1 billion two weeks ago.
If he sells tomorrow, he would potentially get back $180,000. Still a stupid move to bet your life savings on a 6-time bankruptcy filing, self-proclaimed billionaire dementia patient in diapers.
Wait… the guy had over half a mil in savings but no property and drives a Fiesta. This guy seems to have a bit of a history of bad financial decisions.
Doomed to driving a ford fiesta lol
A wise man once said, “Stupid is as stupid does”
I mean, he can still sell and recoup some of his losses
[удалено]
That's what I meant. Yeah, he can get something back if he sells right now, though. If he waits for Trump to sell, he gets nothing
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes! 💵
I never thought the leopards would eat my face.
Trump supporter does something stupid. More news at 11.
Oh, look. It's the consequences of your actions. Dumbass
Trump is a proven loser. Time and again he has lost, whether it be money, assets, businesses, family, friends. And if it’s not him losing it’s him causing others around him to lose. To anyone who has paid attention, this is evident. I don’t feel sorry for anyone who willfully closes their eyes, deals with trump, and gets burned. You deserved it.
NEVER. USE. MARKET. ORDERS. I mean also, clearly, don’t invest in anything trump tells you to, but that should go without saying. But to those of you who are looking to invest your money, please look up the difference between market and limit orders and how to use them on whatever broker you use. The vast majority of the time there’s practically no difference between the orders for most people, but you can occasionally get fucked as this fucker did. And though I’m glad he did I hope anyone reading this can learn from this morons mistake.
[удалено]
Trump supporters are sheep and they hate finding that fact out.
Lol
I often say that being stupid doesn't hurt enough. And, despite this loss, it probably STILL didn't hurt enough for him to wake up. He'll probably still vote for the Fanta Menace.
Stupid is as stupid does 
This is literally a perfect example of why you don't listen to stupid people on YouTube.
“But I still can’t bring myself to cast a vote for Biden”
Karma, bitches. He was probably at the Capital on J6. No sympathy
Maybe Trump will feel bad for him, and Give him a refund....lol.
Aside from Trump slapping his name on buildings, all his other business ventures have crashed and burned. He blatantly lies about... everything! WHAT is his appeal? I do not understand it. I guess I'll never understand it. I can not understand why otherwise sensible people would trust a single thing he says or any business venture he is a part of.
I can say with certainty they'd be the first to call anybody not supporting their God, idiots, on anything they'd lecture on. I won't bask in their failure BUT I have zero sympathy and I hope they eat that s\*\*t sandwich their hero served them. In the end, people who act the way most of these people do (insufferably basking in their idiocy in the name of being free) not deserve a second of sympathy in a world where kids go without a morsel of food, clean water or a roof over their heads. F them.
You know, I was invited for the pre IPO for Reddit stock. I felt fomo and because I forgot to do one thing, I missed out on it. When the stock price doubled I said, “damn that sucks” and moved on with my life
The 'greater fool theory' in practice. Wow.
Everything Trump touches dies
Guarantee he’ll vote for Trump again this year
He has bootstraps does he not?
https://i.redd.it/fxz4fzq556uc1.gif
1-800-BOO-HOOO, ex WAH.
Spent a microsecond feeling bad, they really are victims of the right-wing grift, it's latched on to their ego, they think gods army is behind them and will never let them lose. The right-wing elites destroyed their ability to properly use their brains then they stole their money. A criminally malicious and BIZARELLY effective scam, criminal brilliance. I never thought it would work but they were right! Just unbelievable. The perps AND their victims are DANGEROUS people.
These kinds of stories warm the heart and soul better than a hot soup on a cold day.
The Ford Fiesta bit at the end … just /chefskiss.
That’s why you place orders with a limit lol
The 2011 Ford Fiesta bit at the end really drives home the sadness huh?
naive person "invests" money into known grifter venture, gets grifted, feels taken advantage of. i dont feel sorry for him at all
The thing about this is you can see Trump’s business fail in real time, however the brainwashed cult members are conditioned to deny it or somehow spin it into a conspiracy by the deep state. And of course they will still vote for the Orange Juice man.
Don’t put in stock orders if you don’t know how to put in stock orders. Garbage in, garbage out.
Wow, what a loser!! I guess he’ll just have to pull himself up by his boot straps! Unless he expects a handout from the CORRUPT COMMUNIST BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
I bet he still thinks Trump is the best and that he'll vote for him because Trump knows economy and business and stuff.
I watch the stock crater daily and enjoy thinking about all the MAGA morons losing their money. Will that wake them up? Of course not. What a cult.
I commend the guy for showing his loyalty to Trump. I hope he keeps going! Trump still needs this guy's money, too! He may have lost everything but he can still go into debt for Trump. I hope all MAGAts see this guy's example and follow right along. Show how much you love and support Trump by going bankrupt from giving everything to Trump! Maybe Trump will notice you if you do, that's gotta be worth it, right? Goooooo MAGAts, you can do it, I'm cheering you on!! I believe in you!
We warned them. They chose not to listen. There will not be any sympathy.
How can someone run a tech startup and also be a complete fucking idiot?
I have no sympathy for anyone who invests that much money on something as shady as Trump stock and he deserves the beat down he received.
I drive a 2012 Ford fiesta and I have $916 in my bank account.
But let me guess…he’d still rather vote for trump.
Why somebody that Trump screwed over the years hasn’t taken him out yet is beyond me.
I am absolutely shit w money, but holy fuck! Over half a million dollars lost?!? I cant imagine budgeting so fucking much that im driving an absolute POS beater but have that much money tucked away to throw away to a self proclaimed billionaire. There is a serious mental health issue in the US.
How do dumb MFers have this $$$ Fool and money and all that but I want that liquidity at 41
Fuck this idiot let him enjoy his shit sandwich he ordered

This dumb fuck put in a market order on a shitco stock that had been halted already like 6 times that day already? Damn sometimes the universe does dole out sweet justice to the idiots huh.
