The big question is how much profit did TFG make.

He’s had his fingers in every damn pie and I don’t see how he ever made much.

Fantastically successful at getting coverage and posturing as X.

Abysmally terrible at actually being X.

Here, X stands for anything with the name Trump attached.

Well, expect Elon Musk to do his damndest to correct the great injustice of Trump not having a megaphone for his fascist lies.

Truth Social proves the truth about Trump: he’s an Inveterate Failure.

TFG has sucked all the money out of it, two executives have quit, and the SPAC is crashing on Wall Street – I’d say it’s working out just the way he planned it. Only thing left for TFG to do is dump the blame on Devin Nunes.

The fact that he has not been attacking Nunes already is the real news here.

Grift from the word go.

Or he is that spectacularly incompetent.

Or both.

Who says it was unsuccessful? I mean - Devin Nunes is no longer in Congress. Doesn’t that count for something?

It’s hard not to get a daily ration of Trump even if you strive not to do so. Even here at TPM it seems half the bits are about Trump or his cronies. All that leads one to think Trump is still the man he’s not. His rally crowds are shrinking. GOP’er Senators are disparaging him and this. This is what’s really happening. The number of people that are in Trump’s spell is decreasing…and rapidly. His endorsement of a political candidate damn near dooms them and GOP’ers are looking for a more horrid candidate for 2024 like DeSantis or Scott. Trump and his remaining crowd make a lot of noise but there’s nothing new in it.

The love is dying. Time to move on.

Make his name toxic world wide. Then no matter how much $$ he has saved for a rainy day (made myself laugh) it won’t matter.

“Get Ready! Your favorite President will see you soon!” Trump wrote on Feb. 14.

I am looking forward to reading FDR’s spirited jocularity from the great beyond.

Perhaps he can tell them the App is soon to be fixed and Mexico is going to pay for it. as each day goes by Trump’s diminished just a bit. By 2024 he’ll be out of sight and mind.

I have to wonder if Trump wanted it to fail. Why else would he hire Devin Nunes to run it?

History can still be made here. TRUTH Social could be the first IPO that trades in the negative digits.
