Are you a fool? Don't you know that unlimited immigration improves the economy, enhances birth rates and helps society become more inclusive. It also increases the Red blood cells.
China , Japan and Korea would be third world if they didn't allow uninhibited immigrants from every corner of the earth.

Dude spend some time googling Shorts.

When shorting you are gambling the price on the Stock will go lower. You are basically borrowing a stock and selling it at the current price. Fri. the price was 31.
So if the price drops to say 25. You can buy it back at the price and return the borrowed share. So, you would make $6 per share.
If Trump was shot, DJT would probably bounce in the short term (as it did now), knowing how nutty Trumpers are. It's 38. So, the person who took the short position would have lost $7 per share right now.
But they can hold on to the short position, maybe in the long term it would drop as he is the driver of the Stock. But that's a gamble.
But others may have different thesis of what would happen. I'm sure people can argue both sides.

But DJT is going to crash. It is overvalued. A short position on it is nothing out of the ordinary.
Of course there is nothing to see here with an investor shorting 12,000,000 shares on 12th July.
Then later retracts saying they filed in error.

cal club India dot com has some theory of what would have happened. , these investors also shorted rumble stocks. The bot has banned me twice after linking to that site in last few weeks.That site has crazy theories.

A history list of trades on DJT shorts is provided in this link.

If they shorted it friday, they would have lost money on Monday, at least Monday morning.
I was asking would they have made money if God forbid the worst happened on Saturday?

https://finbold.com/trump-stock-shorted-heavily-day-before-assassination-attempt/

However, a fact bound to raise a few questions is that short positions against Truth Social stock doubled between July 1 and July 12, going from 7 to 15 million shares, in what was a record of shares shorted for DJT stock since its trading debut.

This surge indicates that individuals or large organizations anticipated a significant drop in the stock’s value by July 15, a scenario that would likely have materialized had President Trump died in Pennsylvania.

Sat after the shooting one of my boys asked if I had bought DJT( (he can't due to his Job), thought it would go up on the goodwill. I agreed. Easy call. But missed it in after hours trading. Didn't think to short it as I generally don't short plus just wanted to make a quick turnaround.

But if you spent less time posting bullshit about a country you don't live, you might know what a short position is.
And get you some friends with money so you can talk about money.

Well there was a group that shorted it on Friday. Then they refiled on Monday saying it was an error.

I saw this in a disqus comment. On Friday last week , some group shorted Trump Media Group shares.

Calling out ibime the expert from retirement and summer holidays. How does shorting work. If Trump assassination was successful, Trump Truth Media Group shares would have been worthless. What would have been the payoff?
Why would they short 12 million shares then refile on Monday saying twas an error.

Pelosi has told Biden that he has no pathway to winning so should consider stepping down and I think this is unfair because Biden won the nomination fairly

If they wanted Kamala Newsome Whitmer or anyone they should have run him or her through the primary not trying to blackmail into stepping down. How do we know that the voters who chose Biden at the primary would have voted the party pick

It's like you winning Olympic trials and when it's time for the Olympics they are telling you to step down for someone else

When Democrats rail about democracy being threatened, they have always shown they don't care for it at the DNC, it's the same way they rigged out Sanders in 2016 and gave Hillary debate questions

The RNC elite on the other side half of them didn't like Trump but they respected the process that won him the primaries in 2016
Democracy is a rule for the people by the people and of the people.
JB won nominations, now the elite want to handpick a successor after they force him out. Apologize to his voters first for lying that his mental abilities were intact.
But but but Trump is a threat to "our democracy ' , voter ID is racist .

Basically. This sums it all. Snipers knew there was a shooter on the roof above them. Some part of the crowd was yelling to security he is up there. Snipers in situ on a more inclined roof had him locked on them via his range finder, he didn't need a range finder he was not on a golf course. They couldn't take him out unless he took a first shot .He fires 8 rounds,3 seconds later they take him out blowing out his brains. Dead men don't talk, all his internet activities is zero. I'm no fool here.
Wisdom again kills me.

After Bush toppled Saddam, he dismantled the army. The Baathists joined Al Zarqawi who was the real founder of ISIS. Zarqawi was taken out. One of his proteges Al Baghdadi already had been detained, on his release he took over the Zarqawi group.

Come Arab spring. After ousting Mubarak, then Tunisia then Libya, America shifted to removing Assad. Don't forget Russia only overseas Naval base is in Tartus, Syria. America encouraged and funded the uprising against Assad in a get Russia scheme. Pretending not to know that Assad sect , the Alawitte Shia and the Sunni hate each other, the "moderate Free Syria" armies were trained and equipped by America, partly with leftover weapons from Libya ( remember Benghazi ) via Turkey. These moderates cost Gen Flynn his job after he stated that America was arming jihadists.

The moderate Free syrian armies funded by America joined the Al Nusra and ISIS soon after training. Al Baghdadi had a larger agenda , creation of a theocratic state complete with territory and a caliphate. He allegedly comes from Muhammad lineage, many jihadists accepted him as the caliph, tens of thousands of Muslims from all over the world flocked to join his army and live under a Caliphate as their god so desires.

So the US foolishly funded ISIS hoping to take down Assad and weaken Russia influence.
ISIS came to own territory the size of the UK, implemented Sharia law and had many thousands killed .

Im more or less leaning towards the Deep State involvement in the assassination attempt.
They wanted him shot live on TV for whatever reasons. Right before the RNC convention.A big fuq you to Trump supporters.
Killer 20 years has no social media presence yet is a gamer. He had explosives in his car but has no search history on his laptop He had a remote detonator, one with a 2KM range. He thought he would shoot and then detonate his IED. Excuse me.
The only photo they could get was an innocent fresh schooler. I find that hard to believe.
Secret service knew at least 20 minutes there was a threat to Trump's life, yet let him speak.
They knew there was a guy with a rifle on the unguarded roof minutes before he opened fire. The Secret Service Director said the unguarded roof was sloping do they couldn't put a sniper team there.

Had that shooter killed Trump , there would have been unrest, maybe some violence. Biden would have been forced to step down, and Mitchell Obama would have come to the rescue. The agenda to fundamentally change America would then go on unabated.

Those are just musings from the right.

Trump could practically move to New Jersey... He has properties there. It's same reason ever Rubio was considered.

JD retraced his steps and apologised that he was wrong and voted for Trump in 2020.

Romney wasn't ever considered personally by Trump as secretary of state... It was mostly speculations that Rod Rosenstein told Trump to appoint Romney as Secretary of state after he (Rod Rosenstein) and Romney visited Trump shortly after the inauguration.
The establishment were those floating that.

Trump saw Ben Carson as his best friend during the primaries of 2016 and Carson didn't make derogatory remarks against Trump(he endorsed Trump immediately after dropping out)... Same as Vivek (he infact was seen as his surrogate).

Ron ran a bitter and spiteful campaign against Trump... He burnt about 200 million dollars only to lose every county in Iowa despite spending most of his time there.
His campaign was kinda annoying just like Haley's.
I don't really see a future for him at near politically.
He may try the senate if Rubio or Rick retires.

Do you think he'd challenge Vance for the nomination by 2028?
You know your stuff. Much appreciated Muchas gracias.
