“If [T]rump does run for office he will need to sell any shares he owns.”
Barron’s reports, “In its merger agreement with a special purpose acquisition company, Trump’s media venture agreed to structure his role so that operations won’t get disrupted if the former president were to run for office...”
As I read that, a Trump run won’t mean a stock dump, because such a sell off would be disruptive. There’s another dimension to this, and it strongly hints that the structure will be held in some sort of an arm’s length manner that leaves Trump free and clear.
Seems to me that qualifying it as not disruptive to operations implies it could be disruptive to investors.
