President Trump is set to rake in a windfall profit of $3.5 billion—a slap in the face to Letitia James and those afflicted with TDS.
The deal between Truth Social and DWAC has been approved, and President Trump’s social media company will begin publicly trading on the Nasdaq Exchange under the ticker symbol “DJT” on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.
Some point out that President Trump cannot immediately sell his shares to put toward his current legal fees.
I say, who cares? Assets are assets. With a net worth set to skyrocket by an additional $3.5 billion, there will be a line of financiers and banks ready to loan out President Trump the money for his legal fees.
Secured by an additional $3.5 billion in assets, the legal bills numbered in the hundreds of millions will not be a problem. Here’s the latest:
🚨TRUMP'S TRUTH SOCIAL MERGER APPROVED
If Trump’s 58% of a social network with a few million users is reportedly expected to be worth $3.5 Billion- what does that say about the value of X with 550M+ users?
I think maybe @elonmusk got a good deal after all?

ABC News pointed out this minor detail: “Donald Trump’s Truth Social has completed a merger that could net him over $3 billion — but a provision in the deal keeps him from immediately selling his shares.”

The Epoch Times explained the role of DWAC:
Digital World is what’s called a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, also known as a “blank-check company.”
ADVERTISEMENTSPACs raise cash and then hunt for companies to merge with.
Such deals give the target companies a potentially quicker and easier way to get their stocks onto the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq.
The arrangement lets them avoid some of the paperwork associated with traditional initial public offerings of stock, or IPOs.
