4:46Now PlayingThe stock price of Donald Trump’s publicly traded media company, The Trump Media & Technology Group, has been cut in HALF since the day of his inauguration, and there seems to be no signs that it will turn around again. The biggest problem, according to reports, is that no one wants to buy it at all anymore, leaving the few people still holding shares with nothing to do but watch them lose all of their value. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Well everyone, it is time for your weekly dose of really good news, and I would love to give you a daily dose of good news, but unfortunately, there is just not that much good news to go around. So we could do it once a week if we're lucky, but here it is. According to the latest estimates on Donald Trump's Trump media and technology stock, it has lost more than 50% of its value since January 20th, 2025, the day that Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president. His stock, his company, has lost more than 50% of its value. And as Baron's is reporting, nobody wants to buy it because there's no reason to buy it. Now, if you've been paying attention to what's been happening with Trump Media and Technology Group, which of course owns truth social, um, it was reported a couple weeks ago in their financial statements that they lost more than $400 million last year, and the revenue was 8 million. So it's basically just a black hole for money, right you can just put money near this black hole. It's gonna suck it in and never come back.
8 million revenue, 400 million loss, that is absolutely insane. That should be shut down immediately because you're really, really bad at business. But after the election, before the inauguration, the stock price went up, right? Everybody was excited. Hell I, I thought for sure that Donald Trump was gonna just make money hand over fist because he's the president now. He won the election, his stock's gonna go through the roof. I had predicted that would happen and it did. What I didn't predict is how fast it would fall, how fast it would literally lose every penny of value that it had gained, and then some since that 20, 24 election, certainly not just two months into the administration. I thought if it was gonna lose anything, maybe it would take a couple years, but by then, Trump would've cashed out, gotten his money run off. But no, he didn't even have the chance to do it.
He's just lost it all. But as I mentioned, people don't wanna buy it now. And as Baron reports, there's a good reason for that because immediately after the election, a lot of the reason the stock went up was 'cause you actually had high dollar investors, not small time MAGA hat wearing people buying the stock because they thought, Hey, this is a good way to suck up to Donald Trump, right? Let me buy a thousand shares. Let me buy 10,000 shares. Hey, look what I did, Donnie, maybe you do me some favors. But then they realize there's actually a much cheaper way to do this. So they sold off their stock
And instead just started giving money to a super pac. They started bending the knee, they started having their corporation do everything Trump wanted them to do and then some. So we don't need to buy your crappy stock. I can just give you half the money directly to your super PAC and call it a day. I can just go down to Mar-a-Lago and have dinner with you, give you a million bucks. There we go. I get everything I want. Super cheap, super easy, and I can kiss your in person. So that's the big reason. That's what drove the stock up after the election, but started tanking it after the inauguration when they found out there's much cheaper ways to buy favors here in the United States. Barron's is also reporting that there appears to be nothing on the horizon that will save this company with them hemorrhaging as much money as they are, even when they announce like, Hey, we're gonna start making conservative movies that tanked their stock, like you would think, an expansion of the company branching out into new areas would make the stock go up. But it did the opposite. This is a bad company run by really bad people who are really bad at business. That is the bottom line, and that is something that we should all take as very good news.
