Friend, 

Remember when Trump launched his media stock several weeks back? You know, the one that was supposed to increase his already inflated net worth exponentially and solve all of his legal problems? Maybe it’s time we check in on it! So go ahead, make your guesses before starting the next paragraph. 

If you guessed that the stock is tanking, you’re correct! Just like everything else in his life, Trump’s media stock is heading down the gold-plated toilet. And guess what? He’s claiming it’s not his fault. Ah, the art of the deal.

Earlier today, Devin Nunes, who Trump put in charge of his social media company for some reason, asked Congress to investigate “unlawful manipulation of DJT stock.” Unlawful manipulation? Isn’t it entirely possible that the guy who bankrupted three casinos, a steak venture, a tie venture, a board game venture, a vodka venture, a cologne venture, a mattress venture, a cell phone venture, an airline, a travel site, a magazine, and a fake university just can’t make a third-rate social media app work?

To The Donald himself? Of course it’s not. Because when he’s losing, he never fails to cry foul play. That’s what he’s doing with all of his court cases, that’s what he did when he was impeached, and that’s what he did when he lost in 2020.

This is just a sneak preview of what’s to come if he takes back the White House. He’ll order Congress around to make sure his snake oil businesses stay afloat. He’s been sitting in Mar-a-Lago for years now just thinking about how he can be even more corrupt than he was last time.

So, instead of handing him financial security, let’s make him sweat. Let’s make him scour the Earth for loans. Let’s make him take a second mortgage out on Mar-a-Lago. Let’s make him the penniless loser he would already be if the Republican party had any sort of a spine left. Our chance is coming up in November, and we need everyone on board. Help us get there >>
