Subject: Re: Trump Media...what a stinker
You’re thinking like a normal person. Trump is not normal. He is a sociopath and EVERY action he takes is designed to benefit himself, and only himself.

That's my point. I think it benefits Trump to keep a billion of fake value on paper, rather than sell out for a few tens of millions of cash dollars.

Trump is many things, but he's very savvy about certain aspects of business. He knows the value of appearances, of the illusion of competence and wealth, and how important the image of "Trump is Good at Business" is to him. He's very good at projecting wealth in order to get people to give him what he wants.

For someone like that, owning 60% of a business with a nominal market cap of $3 billion is much more valuable than a few tens of millions in the bank. And that's exactly the sort of thing that Trump is well aware of.
