Trump's social media stock is tanking. Here are 2 possible reasons.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Trump currently owns about 60% of Truth Social, which means his stake is worth about $2.4 billion.
34% : So there's a real tension there: Does Trump keep his theoretical $2.4 billion stake intact?
33% : One reason Trump's stock may be moving down is that lots of people who own Trump stock are Trump fans, and/or people betting that Trump will win the November election.
28% : The second is that Trump knows that if he does sell stock -- and particularly if he sells a lot of stock -- that the stock will really collapse.
18% : The other very plausible reason that Trump stock is moving down is that investors may be worried about Trump selling some of his shares in the company.
5% : But it has been harder to be in one of those groups recently: Since Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden as Trump's opponent, Trump has been losing ground in the polls, and now both The New York Times and pollster Nate Silver see him as a slight underdog.
