  1. As per [original article](https://newrepublic.com/post/185605/donald-trump-stock-value-craters-sign-struggling) 📰:

    – Donald Trump’s Truth Social stock has reached a new low, highlighting just how bad things have gotten for the former president and his media company.

    The stock price of Trump Media & Technology Group dropped to $16.98 per share on Wednesday, its lowest rate since it hit the market after it merged with a publicly traded shell company in March, when it was valued at a high of $79.38 per share.

    Since its stock market debut, the value has dropped more than 70 percent, [The New York Times reported.](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/04/business/trump-media-stock-truth-social.html)

    Trump’s majority stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, which is roughly 115 million shares, or a 60 percent stake, was once worth a whopping $6 billion. Now, it’s worth only $2 billion.

    Since spiking around July 15—the Republican National Convention—the value of Truth Social stock has steadily declined, following Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race. Shares of Trump’s media stock have often corresponded with how well investors think Trump’s presidential campaign is going, according to the Times.

    Halfway through August, his stock took a dive after he posted on X, Truth Social’s competitor, hitting its lowest rate in months, around $24.60. Even a booming stock market couldn’t rescue Trump’s lame stock, which continued to sink in value.

    The stock’s prior low was set late last month, when it hit $19.38 per share. Now, it seems things have gotten even more dire.

    Trump’s lowest rate ever comes a little more than two weeks away from September 19, when he and other major investors will finally be able to offload his volatile DJT stock at the end of their “lock-up” period. While Trump has not indicated that he will sell his risky shares, it’s more than likely that everyone else will according to [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/johntobey/2024/08/17/trump-media-stock-djtsignificant-risks-are-at-hand/).

  2. Hey maybe someone can keep it as a penny stock that’d be funny by all the Trump stock for mere pennies pennies

  3. The stock is virtually worthless right now. Once he sells (you know he will sell the second it’s allowed) the stock will be actually worthless instead of virtually worthless. Penny stock territory.

  4. I love it! The great business man. I hope his minions that were stupid enough to invest their life savings into this fraudster have lost everything.

  5. Why do we all assume someone is going to pay $2 billion for Trump’s shares? It will be instantly worthless.

  6. It went down to $20, then down to $18, then under $18 and now under $17. Soon down to
    $15? And what then? He still can’t sell till the end of the month. Will there be any value left before he dumps out? 😯

  7. Haha! Thanks for the reminder, now I’ve added his stock to my watch list so I can brighten my day(s). 📉

  8. He’s so broke. He owes so much and his legal fees must be crazy. I’m sure he pays people, besides Melania, to keep quiet. He has a financial monitor in place so he can’t be as sneaky as he’s accustomed. He can’t do business in New York. He’s had liquor licenses taken away. He’s continuing to get sued. He can’t get additional loans.

    He’s so desperate he constantly grifts by selling things like the suit off his back, Bibles and bobbleheads.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up bankrupt, again. And people will still be so naive as to think he’s a brilliant businessman who will improve the economy.

  9. It’s a meme stock. You can’t derive meaning out of the stock price of actual serious companies, it seems doubly stupid to assume that the price of this turd has any logical meaning.

  10. From what I read is that he can’t sell if it drops under $12 per share by the 20th. Can someone elaborate or correct me if I’m wrong?

  11. The company has less revenue (not profit, gross revenue) than a single McDonald’s franchise, but is still being valued at ~3 Billion dollars. There is also simply no market for this platform to grow into. The price is just moving to reflect its actual value. It really should be at something like 5¢ per share to be more accurately priced.
