However, another rich vein of dirty dollars is his Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) that is the parent entity for Truth Social and other scammy ventures. And the newest wrinkle in TMTG&#8217;s portfolio is a <em>&#8220;prediction betting marketplace&#8221;<\/em> that will provide online gambling opportunities for Trump&#8217;s cult followers. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/trumps-social-media-company-launch-prediction-betting-marketplace\/story?id=126942469\" target=\"_blank\">According to ABC News<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;President Donald Trump&#8217;s social media company, Trump Media and Technology Group, announced Tuesday that it will soon launch a prediction betting marketplace on Truth Social, allowing users to gamble on sports and politics directly on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Devin Nunes, the CEO of TMTG, said in a statement that the firm is &#8216;democratizing information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fantastic! Trump is returning to the casino business that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/factchecks\/2016\/jul\/11\/mark-warner\/mark-warner-says-donald-trump-has-bankrupt-four-se\/\" target=\"_blank\">he so utterly failed in with multiple bankruptcies<\/a><\/strong>. Now he will now be presiding over an online gambling operation that specifically targets two sectors of society over which Trump has demonstrated flagrant dishonesty and incompetence: Sports and politics.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically with regard to politics, an online betting platform could offer wagers about future actions over which Trump himself will have decision making responsibility. Which means that he will know the outcome of whatever the wager concerns. And so will anyone that he chooses to tell. That hardly seems like a fair betting field. But it does seem like the sort of sham that Trump could use to further enrich himself and his comrades through his proxies.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it&#8217;s consistent with most of Trump&#8217;s prior shady businesses. TMTG, for instance, was trading at about $43.00 the week before his inauguration this year. Nine months later it is under $17.00. That&#8217;s a decline of more than 60% while the S&#038;P 500 rose more than 8%. Meanwhile, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coinbase.com\/price\/official-trump\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s crypto meme coin<\/a><\/strong>, which he launched the day before his inauguration at $74.00, is now trading at about $9.00, a massive drop of 88%.<\/p>\n<p>None of this should surprise anyone who has been paying attention to the Trump financial empire that has been notorious for its rampant failure and potential fraud. For instance&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66551\" target=\"_blank\">Truth Social Parent Plans Desperate Share Buyback to Boost its Failing Stock and Enrich Trump<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a tactic that is sometimes used to juice failing stocks.
