WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump's biographer David Cay Johnston said that investors in Truth Social will eventually be "wiped out" if they don't sell now, as per Raw Story.

During his Saturday, May 25, appearance on MSNBC, Johnston, who has long studied Trump's finances and taxes, was questioned about the latest developments surrounding the former president's publicly traded social media firm.

The host specifically inquired about rumors that during the first three months of 2024, while the stock was still climbing, Trump Media posted a net loss of over $330 million.

The host questioned, "How big a problem is this? Can you explain for some layman's terms, quickly, how losing millions on thousands of actual revenue, how that even works? Is that the stock that still has a huge market value? Is it really valuable? There's a lot of questions here."

Johnston answered, "It's not at all valuable. And the people who own it at the current price, if they don't sell out, will eventually be wiped out."



 

He added, "The 300-plus million is not a cash charge, but even so, the company is losing money hand over fist and its revenues are barely in the millions of dollars."

He further stated, "So there's no support here for a company worth four, five, six, at one point $8 billion. This is all fans of Donald Trump and others hoping to exploit the company and in some cases to sell it short so they can collect when the price falls to near zero."
