Trump’s Election Triggers Big Selloff of His Truth Social Stock – By Company Executives

Among the egomaniacal delusions of Donald Trump is his insistence that whatever he touches turns to gold, and that positive news about anything is only due to his divine intervention. Conversely, he wants people to believe that any catastrophe (Ukraine, Gaza, Hurricanes) would never have happened if he were in charge. It’s a symptom of the malignant narcissism that he has been suffering from for decades.

Donald Trump Pacifier Fox

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump countered the fact that the stock market was booming by claiming that it was only because investors were anticipating his return to the White House. Never mind that the market hit record highs throughout the four years of President Biden’s administration. Also, unemployment hit record lows, the GDP soared, inflation was cut in half, and numerous other indicators showed gains that Trump could not have had any effect on. He was even called out about this by his Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News…

However, it would be difficult now for Trump to explain how the perception of his magnificence is turning the putrid pile of manure known as Truth Social into a bouquet of fragrant roses. Since election day on November 5, the stock of Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the corporate parent of Truth Social, has declined about 40%, from an intraday high of $45.00 to it’s current value of about $27.00.

So does Trump now believe that, since the world revolves around him, his election is responsible for the selloff and investors nervousness about its continued viability? Not likely. He is protected by a perverse psychological defense mechanism that is triggered whenever he is exposed to bad news about himself. This makes him immune from harm because all he can perceive is his own greatness.

However, others with actual money on the line obviously feel differently. And those others happen to be principle executives of TMTG who are cashing out before the stock descends to its actual value of next to nothing. CNBC is reporting that…

“The chief financial officer of Trump Media and two other corporate insiders sold more than $16 million worth of company stock in the week following the presidential election, according to new disclosures.

“Most of the stock was sold by CFO Phillip Juhan, who in August adopted a trading plan that revealed his intention to sell 400,000 DJT shares by December 2025.

“Trump Media director Eric Swider and Scott Glabe, the company’s general counsel, each sold fewer shares of the company, whose majority owner Donald Trump was elected president on Nov. 5. […]

“Juhan, who is also Trump Media’s treasurer, sold 320,000 shares on Friday at a price of $30.65 per share, or a total of $9.8 million worth of stock according to a Form 4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

“On Monday, Juhan sold another 64,000 shares at $32.97 per share, another $2.11 million worth, the same filing said.”

The CNBC report also noted that TMTG “report[ed] revenue of slightly more than just $1 million in the third quarter of this year,” with “losses of $19.2 million for the quarter.” So the rush to bail out is a smart move by the company’s insiders and other investors. Trump himself, however, insists that he is not selling. We’ll see.

TMTG makes a relative pittance and is losing millions. Were it to be valued according to its earnings it would be a penny stock. Its current value is entirely the result of the rubes who invest because they are indoctrinated members of the Trump cult.

An investigation of TMTG by ProPublica has just uncovered yet another example of the company’s corruption. The report found that “people with knowledge of the company” have confirmed that several top executives of the company appear to have been ousted following an internal investigation by a lawyer that the company hired to examine allegations of “mismanagement” and “misuse” of funds by it’s CEO, and Trump flunky, Devin Nunes.
