51% say lower it or eliminate it.  That’s a majority.  Only a small minority say increase it.

the salient point: the overall results are skewed by those AxHappy PeePee/CPC supporters!

Trump's new nickname is gaining traction...  Don Poorleone!
This aged well😂😂😂

oh my! TrumpsterShady is outright gleeful! Meanwhile back in reality:

Quote
Financial experts caution that the company is dramatically overvalued and likely to see its share price drop, meaning it could be one of the worst investments for stockholders.

“It’d be hard to see why a rational investor would want to invest in this company,” Brian Dunn, a lecturer of corporate governance at Cornell University, told McClatchy News.

The actual value of the new company is likely around $2 per share, more than 90% below its current share price, Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida, told McClatchy News. “Trump Media is having trouble generating both advertising revenue and paying subscribers,” Ritter said. “As a result of the (recent) merger, it has about $2 in cash per share.”

The company generated less than $5 million in revenue in 2023, and lost money. At its current valuation of close to $10 billion, the price-to-sales ratio is over 2,000.

So, why is its valuation so high given its relatively meager revenue? “Because Truth Social users help the frenzy, in part, so in that sense it is a meme stock,” Tiu said. “My own personal opinion is it has to be a bit of a meme stock,” Dunn said. “It’s clear that the underlying assets don’t justify the price.” Meme stocks are investments that become popular despite having little to no intrinsic value.

whaa! "Meme Stock"!

Here are some hard left Marxist - libertarians though.  Academic discussion, free of tribal politics, with some very good points.

Ashley Frawley is a Canadian sociologist.  This is VERY long but at the 1:00:00 mark exactly, she is read a tweet that accuses her of wanting to ban trans people and she articulates a liberal position that I think we can set as a starting point.

(I listened to the full podcast btw)

Aaaand they are also squarely concerned with the public sphere

I do recommend this.

Well, that took less time than I expected. Trumpers are only starting to realize they are no longer accepted in democratic society. It will be beautiful to watch as they cry about it more and more.

His bond was slashed from 450 million to 175, because it was again another example of banana republic type retribution that a higher court had to correct.  It’s becoming a theme.
