Ron Filipkowski: Trump pledged today that he will not sell any of his shares in Trump Media when he is eligible to do so

If Trump sells any shares in the near future now, he’s guilty of securities fraud.

not able to get a single dime out of the deal. And what gets me is why they (the company) gave him so much stock? He hasn't helped one bit, all the stock has been doing is going down, down, down!
