Trump Stock Price Falls Again: Second “Assassination Attempt” and Hating Taylor Swift Didn’t Matter

Share

As you know, Donald Trump had a busy weekend.

First he went on the warpath about Haitian immigrants eating geese and pets in Springfield, Ohio. It wasn’t true, but it got the media’s attention.

Then there’s the whole concocted relationship with right wing conspiracy nut Laura Loomer. Trump played that up to look like they’re having an affair, which is ridiculous.

On Sunday, a nutjob named Ryan Routh was arrested in West Palm Beach near Trump’s golf course in what is being called an “attempted assassination.” Routh didn’t fire it, but he had — according to the NY Tims — a loaded SKS-style rifle — a semiautomatic developed by the Soviets in the 1940s — with a scope, as well as food and a digital camera.

In between all these things, Trump added to the media misdirection by writing “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” on Truth Social. His juvenile diatribe — like all of this — was an effort to distract voters from his hideous political stands, repulsive personal life, his 34 felony convictions, and Project 2025.

You’d think all this excitement would have driven Trump followers to show their support by investing in his stock. But Trump Media fell today by 3.84%. The price is now $17.28. On Friday, the closing price was $17.97 after wild afternoon in which Trump tried to pump the price artificially. His efforts worked for a half hour before people caught on.
