    Trump just passed Soros in how much he's worth and entered the world's top 500 richest people.

    Thats odd. Most politicians become wealthy after leaving office.

    Ahm, no

    When you bring a company onto the stock market, you cannot touch your shares for 6 months from the day the company goes public for trading. In those 6 months, you cannot sell those stocks, you cannot convert them. That's law.
    Oh, and that stock is falling.

    So, there's that.

    Unless their board votes to allow him to do so. In terms of how net worth is calculated, it still counts towards his billions

    The stock has bounced up and down, but is still up a lot and still worth billions to him. Eventually like so many "meme" stocks (i.e. Game Stop) it will eventually "crash", but that could be months or years away and Trump may have pulled out some money before then.

    Like you, I despise Trump, but that doesn't change the reality of what the current market cap is and Trump's share of the stock

    He can't sell it for six months. He can still make money off of it.

    On paper, yes. Good. He can declare he "won" and quit the race to WH and let the sane GOP candidates claim the WH

    He cannot borrow against it either, but he is still going to have plenty of cash in 6 months.

    I did not know this, so I looked it up to see if it's true.

    Link: https://www.businessinsider.com/tru...— and is,per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Business Insider is a usually reliable source.

    Nevertheless, even if Trump were as rich as Croesus, he's still going to lose in November. He may be richer than Soros, but it's DEMOCRATS who make their political 'living' off of shoveling out free-stuff welfare and all the other giveaway goodies. Nobody really gives a **** whether or not Trump's richer than somebody else -- what most Americans want today is FREE STUFF, and they'll vote for anybody who promises it to them!

    Do you not find a company with such poor receipts, under $5 million the last year and high expenses, over $75 million and with no sign of growth would draw $6 billion on the market suspicious?
    Do you know that the law prohibits, say the Saudi King or China's government, from donating to a presidential campaign but has no restrictions on their buying stock on a US market?
    Do you not find it suspicious that that date it becomes available for the private owner to cash in happens to be a month prior to the election day?
    If you believe this is a clean action could I interest you in a bridge in Baltimore? I must admit it does need a little work.

    Looking at the record, Trump's companies always goes bankrupt.

    But only after Trump loots their assets for his own personal wealth, leaving shareholders holding the bag.

    Anyone buying a Trump stock knows they're handing their money to Trump personally.

    No. Explain why you think it's so suspicious?

    Sure I know that.

    Did you know that it's illegal to donate more than $2,500 to a presidential campaign?

    Do you not find it suspicious that one of Hunter Biden's untalented paintings sold for $500,000 and the person that bought it was appointed to a position in Biden's administration? Of course you don't, because it's only suspicious when the Bad Orange Man does something. Your beloved Joe Biden? He's as pure as the driven snow.
