And the stock still gained almost 5% since yesterday when they also announced revenue was down,

I wonder are they assuming he'll be able to siphon hundreds of billions of government money?

The TrumpMelania memecoins are 100% brazen corruption with zero pushback, these people must think there's nothing to stop them.

Yeah I mean, company leader being prominently in bed with the most corrupt president ever is almost certainly great for business. Even Elon would have to try hard to fuck up that kinda advantage. Not surprising at all if investors are still bullish.

I dunno, from the institutional side almost all trading now happens through algorithms and from the consumer side almost all trading is fueled by memes and vibes. The crash is gonna be the mother of all crashes. I mean just look at what Deepseek did a few days ago, it deleted hundreds of billions of dollars in NVDIA stock value. These stocks are so overvalued that they reflect absolutely nothing about their present ability to turn a profit. They are pure speculative fantasy.

100%. When it happens on Trump's watch, I wonder will Trump take over the Federal Reserve? And start money printing trillions to rescue the stock market?

Erdogan has bankrupted Turkey with hyperinflation and his minions still love him.

Trump had bankrupted every business he's ever owned, it would be on brand for him to bankrupt America and the dollar as the world's reserve currency.

There IS nothing to stop them. The FTC and related are absolutely worthless at best but more likely complicit.
