Trump Stock Plummeting Over Death Threat Against Liz Cheney, Puerto Rico “Garbage Island”: Investors Fleeing

Share

Donald Trump’s stock is plummeting.

Trump Media is down to $30.30 after he suggested killing former congresswoman Liz Cheney.

The stock has dropped 15% just today by 1:20pm. On Tuesday, it was at 53.88.

Trump has suffered a personal loss of at least $2 billion as the stock for his social media site Truth Social is collapsing.

Are people finally understanding who he is? In just 5 days, the stock has fallen 28%.

This comes after a big run up as investors were sure Trump would win the election. But a sell off is taking place now starting since Sunday’s rally when Puerto Rico was described on stage as a “floating island of garbage.”

Trump could have apologized for the statement by a comedian, but didn’t, and he himself kept describing the US as a “garbage can.”
