What is DJT worth if Trump does not win? (spoiler; I doubt he wins now after conviction)

Discussion in 'Trading' started by klattermusen, May 30, 2024.

  1. I'm politically neutral and don't participate in the US election (I'm a foreigner). But I believed until today that Trump would win the election this November.

    But now that he's been convicted I think this is a genuine big deal. Not so much that Trump can't shake it off in a few days and no way he will do jail time. The problem is he is technically a convicted criminal. And even though many people will still vote for him - the stigma of voting for a criminal will keep quite a few voters away (who otherwise would have voted). If the average American turns down the job application from joe average because he once spent 3 months in jail - there is no way that American voters will psychologically say yes to the con on the ballot.

    DJT has been up based on the likelihood of Trump winning. Now that my conviction has changed based on his conviction (that was cute, eh) - where does DJT go now?

    Is it a smart play to start shorting here?

    Trump will win in a landslide, again, regardless of the outcome of this trial.
    Dems may replace Biden before the election but they have no one who can beat Trump. That’s why they’re attacking him from every legal angle as possible. They’re desperate. Dems only win if they cheat again or keep Trump off the ballot.
    Dems here will disagree, obviously.
    I’m not voting but if I did I’d cross out all names and write in Vivek.
    Unfortunately, something big (war?) is likely to happen if Dems can’t keep Trump off the ballot.
    All speculation.

    ***As for DJT, it’ll be in the teens or single digits in less than a year IMO unless they change something. That website isn’t getting enough important people to join so other users won’t join or stay longer as there’s no good content there. It’s all boring MAGA stuff. Opened an account a few weeks ago just to see what it’s like. BORING

    ***RFK Jr ….. “The Democrats are afraid they will lose in the voting booth, so instead they go after President Trump in the courtroom.”
    RFK Jr is NOT a Trump fan.

    No doubt the delusional forever Trumpers will reiterate their mind virus.

    Doesn’t sound you’ve done much research on DJT and the lawsuit brought forth by his partners whom actually built the infrastructure of Truth Social.

    If you believe the conman to be the savior..

    That's a 10X increase over a year and a half. AND they are splitting 10:1 soon.

    Moral of the story...

    Don't be a dumbfuck and invest all your money into a man who's entire life and wealth is based on fraud and deceit.

    I know conservatives hate it when their people commit crimes and are held accountable for it.

    Some deep pockets are supporting Trump because commies have shit for brains and don't know when to stop.
    NY(new Brazil) did it to Trump, also we're being managed by an A.I.

    Looks like Trump is found guilty on all charges. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-hush-money-trial-05-30-24/index.html

    But interestingly that does not prevent him from running for office.

    "Nothing in the US Constitution bars a convicted criminal from running for the nation’s highest office, University of California, Los Angeles law professor Richard L. Hasen has consistently said.

    'The Constitution contains only limited qualifications for running for office (being at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen, and at least 14 years a resident of the U.S.),' Hasen continued."

    Hmmn...go figure. So Biden needs to do more to make sure Trump can't run against him it looks like.
