The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

the laundering aspect is interesting.
assuming trump has no earlier DJT grift, and the stock stays elevated (~late Sept) after insiders clear sales restrictions : is it possible that this would sways trump's opinion on a money losing company with negligible subscribers and revenue?
with civil fines pressure, even trump's ego would be hard pressed not to cash in then.

i am holding my original skewed probability that the company and stock fail in 2025 regardless of the election.

trump has not and will not go exclusive content on DJT, because mainstream media provides him far more valuable free publicity in his overarching bid to stay out of jail via the oval office. with no effort required, MAGA nation gets enough red meat by leaving fox news on ('we were for trump all along') and facebook tabs open.

- if trump wins, he doesn't need the TS megaphone (er, kazoo).

- if trump loses, he becomes irrelevant regardless of his platform for donations to fight '2 stolen elections'.
high MAGA fatigue expected as a few more realize this is just a loser begging.

- the ad vibes are worse than twitter; nothing but crypto and mom&pop trumpware. i dont know what big money ads would be for, even if not expected to be seen.
