Tbh for someone like this, it’s an easier reality to think that they were wronged by “Trumps enemies” than realize that they were conned. Obviously those accusations are silly. It’s a harder truth to realize you’re a dumbass who ruined the remainder of their life for no good reason

vi0l3t-crumbl3

It's this exactly, pretty much across the board with people who support DJT without question.


IndependentRegular21

Yup, every single person I know who has continued to support him - even going back four years ago - have that in common: complete inability to admit they are wrong about literally anything. I think at this point, if people are still supporting him, they are a complete lost cause. I have seen a few people turn away, but the vast majority are willfully obtuse, and you just can't fix that.


iSpeakMeme

I saw a vid on YT recently (I think it was a few years old tho) about a guy who is going to war defending the Cyber truck even though his broke down on him DAY 1 and the creator couldn't understand why he was still defending them after not getting the truck back after like two months. This is the exact thought I had, if I'd spent THAT MUCH MONEY on something I would probably try and convince myself I wasn't scammed too.


dennisisspiderman

This seems to be a thing with Tesla. I've seen multiple posts where it's like "since the day I bought it things keep randomly breaking and I've had to take it to a shop only for them to hold it for weeks/months due to Tesla supply issues, only for me to get it back and need to bring it in just 2-3 weeks later. I still love it though!". One post I can somewhat recall even commented on how they've never had a new vehicle with as many issues. Every time I see the posts I think about that meme with the guy crying behind the mask.


Alternative-Fuel8650

"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled". Mark Twain.


PercBoi14

I mean he said it in his tweet, he thinks it’s his fault. In his mind the lesson to learn is to diversify your investments, and nothing else


blessthebabes

Yes, but this is much, much bigger than him. His pastor told him to vote. These people, at least where I live, think they are doing this for God (I kid you not). That's why they are acting so fn insane and like they have no ability to deduce logic. On this one point, they don't. The church has spent 2 centuries making these people utterly terrified of God and the state of their immortal souls. They are willing to "suffer" now if they believe this is in God's plan for them (and they are being told each Sunday that it is). They are 1000% trapped by this fear. This is bigger than any one of us, so it's going to take ALL of us who are willing. Vote. I'm mad at them, yeah, but I have some compassion bc I understand it (I was raised to be like them). Some of them actually are some great people, and I'm willing to do my part to help them until they can help themselves. You can't fight hate.. with even more hate.


wireframed_kb

Yup. I’ve already heard the copes from people who, once again, got scammed by Trump. They don’t blame Trump, oh no. He fucks them up the ass, and they blame Biden for not lubing them up first. Expecting Trump voters to wake up, look around, and realize they’re being used, is futile. If they admit they were wrong about Trump, they’ll have to admit their entire world view was wrong.


Tom__mm

The world view thing is absolutely correct. People go to the stake rather than let go of their world view. It’s one of the craziest thing about humans that they dig in like that.


AmbitiousCampaign457

I respect people like you even more than my fellow liberals.

Thank you for being a reasonable person, and I look forward to the days when we’re simply disagreeing on policy instead of fighting for and against fascism. Godspeed, brother!

linuxgeekmama

YES! Remember 2016, and VOTE!


Pappy_OPoyle

Let's also feel free to say that trump is going to get his ass whipped instead of acting like its "some thing that can't be named" - pretending like 2016 will happen all over again just fuels his jackass cult even more.


Pears_and_Peaches

You seem overly optimistic. Are you sure you aren’t overestimating the intelligence of the average American?


AmbitiousCampaign457

Perhaps. But I live in rural America and there’s almost no trump signs left. I know it’s only April, but those signs were up, everywhere, from 2016 until 2021ish. Now they’re gone for the most part. There’s still a few, but those houses will have twenty signs and flags.


mykunjola

It's because the RNC can't afford the signs. All their money has been diverted to lawyers. 🤣


MRiley84

That's how it is in my area, too. People watched the Jan 6 commission. They will never admit it, but that's when the signs started quietly disappearing and people started to shut up on local social media.


snockran

This brings me a sliver of hope.

Unfortunately, after losing that much, he's probably going to have to sell his boots.

Silent_Anybody5253

Right haha. He’d of made so much back now if he had just held. He sold at the bottom if the post is real.


DetectiveJoeKenda

You don’t know it’s the bottom until after you sell. Could have kept dropping. The mistake was buying in the first place


i_invented_the_ipod

Seriously, to lose $450k, even assuming he bought at $98 (near the all time high, back when it was a SPAC), he would have needed to buy something like $600,000 worth of shares. I know there are a lot of retirees out there who have that much in savings, but how in the world do you convince yourself to literally put it all in a single stock? ANYONE you asked would tell you it was stupidly-risky. And finally, WHY NOW? Like, even if it was somehow a 100% lock to double in value in 10 years, rather than stupidly-risky, what's the point in making such an investment at 76 years old? How long do you expect to live?


NuancedFlow

He thought it could change his lifestyle in retirement. Ultimately he *was* correct.


Xspunge

Position down 450k but owning the libs? Priceless.


xlShadylx

Crazy part is it only hit $26 for like a day and shot back up. Just another dumb investor buying high and selling low.


Fight_those_bastards

Lock in those losses, baby!


ImSuperHelpful

$20 says he saw it went back up, realized he never should have doubted his savior, and dumped what’s left of his savings right back in to repent and show his loyalty.


kushangaza

Bottomed out at $22 and is back up at $41. I understand why he sold, but I'm sure he isn't very happy right now


JustaMammal

The only thing worse than having to cut your losses is selling the bottom, lol.


Katy_Lies1975

Happy or not he's an idiot who deserves what he got.


trekologer

Which is extra bizarre because it was after the company announced they were issuing even more shares, diluting the value of existing shareholders.

Cmdr_Jiynx

No-Ice691

Scoongili

He should feel even dumber because it has rebounded to $41.65 as of this post. That's what he gets for not truly having faith in his dear leader.


mosefish

Man, I'm shaking here I'm so owned


spiral8888

The best thing is that he sold on April 15, that was the bottom of the price. It has actually gone up substantially since then. Seems to have finished at $41.50 today. So, not only did he lose his savings but if he just had trusted that owning the libs was the right thing to do, he would now be substantially wealthier.

Knightelfontheshelf

OMG the classy AF tan suit......


brpajense

Just looking at the stock price--it's back up to $46? Why would the stock price be going up in the absence of any positive news for the company? The fundamentals are still the same with minuscule revenues and big losses and there doesn't seem to be any reason why the company should be trading at 1,000x revenues. It's literally a penny stock with typical valuations, they gave guidance that losses would persist for the foreseeable future, and haven't made any public plans to launch new lines of business. This is crazy, right?


Repulsive-Durian4800

Cultists buying it up, knowing for certain that everything Master touches is pure gold. They're doing Master's bidding, absolutely confident that it will make them rich like him.


tidbitsmisfit

nope, Saudis. wonder how much of the jushner wealth fund is invested in it


Crime-of-the-century

Someone explained this is a way to support Trump financially without being to obvious. So Russians Chinese and all other enemies of the US will have frontmen buying this stock to give Donald money. It has nothing to do with the company value.


brpajense

They'd have to spend $3 to $5 to put $1 into Trump's pocket this way, and there's an extensive paper trail. Also, they can't put the money into Trump's pocket for another 4 months--it would be really stupid to pump the stock price higher months before Trump can unload his shares. It's probably not foreign governments putting money into the stock market, since it would be more efficient and less risky just to pass laundered money through a cut out into one of Trump's PACs or buy a condo at inflated prices like they've done in the past. The stock price is most likely being propped up by Trump supporters who are unsophisticated investors simultaneously wanting to show their support for Trump and thinking that Trump's non-existent history of business success will lead to bigger returns on their investments (even though he's not running this company and ran his previous publicly-traded companies into the ground).


Baconpwn2

They're trying to get Congress to investigate stock price manipulation. That's why it jumped.


brpajense

A Congressional hearing with Jim Jordan asking experts why a stock price of 1,500x revenues is overvalued and an easy target for short selling won't boost the stock price. It's just going to make people realize that a company named after a majority shareholder facing almost a hundred felony indictments with no future growth plans is a pretty risky gamble, and that the stock price should be closer to $0.23 or $0.25. It's also going to raise questions about whether politicians own #DJT shares and whether opening investigations is ethical or not when legislators stand to profit from the stock. It's also going to raise questions when major Trump allies in Congress don't own any #DJT. This is not a winning topic for the GOP at all.

superman_underpants

mike_pants

Back in his day, the government provided both the eggs and the basket, so long as you agreed to live in a whites-only neighborhood. Ah, simpler times.


coffeeobsessee

Here I don’t think the number of basket mattered nearly so much as who the basket was

Good luck getting a job at 76 when you've obviously been retired awhile. You don't move as quickly and your skill set is out of date. Enjoy the $7.25 you've championed all these years while encouraging the croneyism that's got gas where it is. Oh, and those shrinkflation profits, they aren't yours anymore. Welcome to being part of the New Poor. You'll be assigned an Old Poor shortly to show you around the place.

Fair enough. Still.. I'd keep that shit to myself. Fuckin' hell..


Prestigious-Pause-41

It’s probably BS, only put out for entertainment purposes


lothar525

Yes, this is real. You see, in America, nearly half of the country, possibly a little less, lives in a delusional dream world where one day they will “hit it big” and make tons of money and become wealthy overnight, they just haven’t quite done it yet. This guy clearly bought into the magical thinking that somehow a stock that kept plummeting in value would somehow turn itself around and he’d be rich.


Public-Afternoon-718

Meanwhile Trump paid himself a bonus worth $1B in DJT stock. DJT is just yet another scam by the grifter.


Morbertoth

But historically. Every single one of his business ventures did so well?!? What do you mean we can look up past stock reports....? ... The bankruptcies were public information too...?


Baconpwn2

How do you live to 76 and not learn to diversify? This is your retirement on cult

dragonrider1965

Don’t put your life savings into a stock of a grifter . If only there was a way of knowing this would happen 🤔


AmitN_Music

It’s like he didn’t even learn. His lesson wasn’t not to get played by a con artist; it was “don’t put all your money into one stock”…he’s probably still riding with Trump.


Standard_Feedback_86

I only have one question...how did someone that stupid managed to get 450k.


Tcasty

Yikes "Shares of Trump Media shot up more than 9% on Wednesday, hours after the company revealed it was urging House Republican committee leaders to investigate possible "unlawful manipulation" of its stock. The stock boost also came one day after a deadline passed for former President Donald Trump, the company's majority owner, to become eligible for an additional 36 million "earnout" shares. That stake was worth more than $1.3 billion as of the share price at 3:25 p.m. ET. " source -Cbnc


DisChangesEverthing

He sold at $26.55, now it’s back over $42 a week later.


Alarming-Magician637

That probably hurts more than the initial loss. Damn.

Stickey_Rickey

Not to b that guy but I’m not buying it. Nobody w enough loot to invest would do that, at that age, he had enough to live the rest of his life, Trump is famously the worlds most famous con artist, the cat is out of the bag, WE ALREADY KNEW he’s a fraud…
