John,
Millions of public workers — teachers, firefighters, nurses, state employees — are now involuntary investors in Donald Trump’s failing media company.
Here’s how: Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, was added to the Russell 3000 Index in June. That means many public pension funds are now automatically invested in it, without workers even knowing.
Trump Media is bleeding $401 million a year with only $3.6 million in revenue. Auditors have warned it may not survive. Its value swings based on Trump’s political headlines, not business performance.
This is a political vanity project run by a man with a history of bankruptcies, shady dealings, fraud, and grifting — and now he’s using the retirement funds of honest public servants to keep it running. That’s unacceptable.
Sign on now to call on governors and state legislators to protect our pensions and divest from Trump’s shady companies now.
Public workers’ pensions should provide stability and retirement security, not bankroll political propaganda platforms. And they especially shouldn’t be used to pad Trump’s pockets.
If our governors and state legislators take action, they could immediately cut 20% from Trump’s net worth. That’s the power of public investment — and the responsibility that comes with it.
Let’s make our message clear: Public money should serve the public good, not Donald Trump. Sign on today if you're with us.
— Democratic Values
