The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
The suspected disconnect between Trump Media's performance and the inflated stock price has now been confirmed. It turns out "anti-wokeness" doesn't sell the way Trump and his allies had hoped. This could spell catastrophe for investors while also not providing Trump the financial windfall he hoped for.
Pro-Trump narrative
No one is denying this is a meme stock, which is attracting as many investors who want to show their support for Trump as it's attracting investors who believe in the company. A little volatility was to be expected. The only thing that may doom Trump Media is a second term for Pres. Joe Biden, but Trump seems on pace to prevent that from happening.
