9. They give the reason trading was halted when they take action

No one has to speculate why.

https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-issues-warning-after-stock-halted-1953811

According to link:

"Why is NASDAQ halting the sale of DJT? What right do they have to do this?" read Trump's post, in part.

Earlier in the day, Trump said that he will not sell his shares of DJT despite the stock value dropping after his debate against Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday. The share price plummeted to its lowest level last week since going public in March, and had faced a steady decline for weeks.


"No, I'm not selling," Trump said while talking to reporters in California. "I'm not leaving. I love it. I think it's great."

Reuters reported that shares of DJT were halted by the Nasdaq for two five-minute periods after Trump's comments, which is common practice during times of "volatility." After Trump's statements, the company's stock price surged as much as 30 percent and closed out Friday with a 12 percent gain on the day, at $17.97 per share.
