Never mind that the market hit record highs throughout the four years of President Biden&#8217;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&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=60291\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Host Neil Cavuto Interrupts Trump\u2019s Lying to Note \u2018He\u2019s Not Entitled to His Own Facts\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s current value of about $27.00.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/11\/13\/trump-media-cfo-insiders-sell-djt-stock.html\" target=\"_blank\">CNBC is reporting<\/a><\/strong> that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump Media director Eric Swider and Scott Glabe, the company\u2019s general counsel, each sold fewer shares of the company, whose majority owner Donald Trump was elected president on Nov. 5. [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Juhan, who is also Trump Media\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On Monday, Juhan sold another 64,000 shares at $32.97 per share, another $2.11 million worth, the same filing said.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The CNBC report also noted that TMTG <em>&#8220;report[ed] revenue of slightly more than just $1 million in the third quarter of this year,&#8221;<\/em> with <em>&#8220;losses of $19.2 million for the quarter.&#8221;<\/em> So the rush to bail out is a smart move by the company&#8217;s insiders and other investors.
