I would imagine that this stake is through a mutual fund he's invested in, so it's not like he went out and bought 10,000 shares of the company knowing he could tout their CV19 cure and make millions (like he needs the money).

If it's through a mutual fund, then millions of other people have a stake in the company as well, including, I would guess, a number of congress maggots and urinalists. So once again, a half-assed misleading story is presented in such a way that it impugns the motives of Donald Trump by telling only a sliver of the story. Typical fake news.

I wonder how many mutual funds held by Trump have nose-dived with no cashing out from him? Waiting for headlines such as “Trump holds onto decimated stocks - has faith in the American Economy.”

BTW - this virus in my mind is separate from an economic failure. (Except the huge debt might become an issue.) But I hope that once this virus is handled to some degree, the formerly strong economy will come roaring back.

Indeed. There's a huge difference between facts and the truth. At the elementary school that was run by my church, the head of the school association happened to not be a member of our particular church. As a result, he was not permitted to vote on anything that required one.

At one meeting, a vote came up on something that passed by acclamation. I pointed out (light-heartedly) for the record that the president of the school association did not vote in favor of the motion. That was a fact. The fact that, even though he supported the motion entirely, he was not permitted to vote on the matter.

That was the truth.
