It seems clear that Truth Social, and the stock symbol DJT will be worth about one-twentieth of today’s price, post his felony convictions. That’s just for starters.
But I write to note that all the boys at Ringside and Powerline are already trying to draw the sting of the felony, out.
I am not 100% sure there will not be a jury nullifying holdout among the 12 in Manhattan — but I think the evidence of guilt is simply… overwhelming. And the boys (especially at Powerline) if they are honest, do too. [UPDATED: But now even Bill Otis is… burping on it: Bill sees a 75% chance of conviction on at least a few felonies.]
So all their keyboards are clacking — and, in rhythm, too — trying to minimize the damage that running a convicted felon for 1600 Penn will do, in eternity, to the old-line GOP “brand”.
This makes my heart… quite profoundly glad, for the reality is… Trump is a felon. And we may know it by tonight.
And Devin Nunes may yet go down for felony securities fraud in his materially misleading statements about the stock DJT.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy — a service with around 100,000 regular monthly users… cannot ever compete with one that sports over 340 million of them.
Trump’s “brand” is increasingly a dead letter, not just in politics, but in commerce as well.
Lovely. Out.
