As the first year of Donald Trump’s second occupation of the White House winds down, the evidence of his failure is glaringly apparent. His administration has presided over economic debacles, executed foreign policy blunders, and is mired in domestic scandals, including the Jeffrey Epstein affair that is breaking apart his previously devoted MAGA cult.

Trump’s own financial endeavors have been on a descent into ever deeper depths. Although he has structured his business ventures much like the Mafia, where they produce gains for him regardless of how they actually perform. Any other investors have likely lost a bundle.

The latest example of that is the merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion startup. TAE’s energy products are at present speculative and they have no facilities generating any power resources. Nevertheless, the news caused TMTG’s stock to surge 33% from about $11.00 per share to a high of about $16.80. That gain, however was short-lived. Two weeks later TMTG is hovering at around $12.80 again. So anyone who jumped in on the news is already suffering a 25% loss.

That’s typical of the tribulations of investors in Trump and his business misadventure. Throughout 2025, TMTG’s stock has spiraled downward. It has crashed more than 62% year to date. And this is the year that Trump returned to power, causing many of his supporters to assume that he and his businesses would be a good investments.

There is no reason to believe that the TAE merger will turn anything around. The last major news from TMTG was that it was entering the crypto business. It represented a major departure from its core media technology pursuits to a sort of cryptocurrency treasury. They made a huge and poorly timed $2 billion bet on Bitcoin, which then promptly plummeted from their $118,000 purchase price to about $88,000. Trump’s economic advisors are proving to be no more capable than his political advisors.

Despite the financial fiascos that Trump has presided over, he continues to shield himself from the losses suffered by his flock of cult followers, who keep getting fleeced, but seem to like it. Even more troubling is that his shady practices are providing a path for disreputable parties to grease his palm for political favors. That includes foreign operatives from adversarial nations and conflicted corporate leaders seeking legislative largesse. All of whom are more interested in buying influence than investing.

Trump’s fiscal failings are mirroring his political plunges. He is stuck at the bottom of the political pothole that he has dug for himself. Although you wouldn’t know by the celebratory gushing of his perky Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. For a more reality-based appraisal of Trump’s misfortunes, here’s a brief summary of the ongoing disaster we know as Trump World…
