Trump Loses $500 Million Amid Global Tariff Turmoil.

Tariffs might seem straightforward, but they often lead to surprising consequences. Just look at the president, who saw his wealth shrink by half a billion dollars in just a few days.

The biggest hit to Trump’s wealth came from his most prized asset, the Trump Media and Technology Group, which saw an 8% decline over the last three trading days, reaching its lowest point since October. His stake, valued at $2.2 billion on Wednesday, has now decreased to $2 billion. This roughly $170 million loss is just the tip of the iceberg.

Additionally, his commercial real estate holdings are estimated to have dropped by about $90 million, assuming they faced similar declines as publicly traded commercial property firms. Shares of Vornado Realty Trust—the company that collaborates with Trump on two of his key properties, 1290 Avenue of the Americas in New York and 555 California Street in San Francisco—fell 14% from the time of Trump’s announcement until the end of Monday.

Trump didn’t lose a dime. The only way to lose or gain according to the irs is to cash out.

BS article as DJT Stock was in the $17.xx range early in the day, and after Trump paused the tariffs for 90 days, it was up 22%. Trump needs to do something about this lieing media.

I just checked. The value of my portfolio dropped about seven percent last week. Today it’s back to where it was, and the market isn’t even open yet.

This deserves an investigation, led by Adam Schitt. I’m sure he has already seen the proof of insider trading and will be releasing it shortly.

So, much for the claims Trump used insider trading to enrich himself.
