Regulators are looking into the deal that would bring Donald Trump’s new social media company to the stock market, one that has attracted both legions of fans of the former president and people looking to make a quick profit.

The company partnering with Trump Media & Technology Group acknowledged the inquiries in a filing it made with regulators on Monday. It also gave some financial forecasts for the company, which is hoping to rival Twitter and other platforms that banned Trump, along with Netflix and other streaming video services. It said over the weekend that it’s lined up $1 billion in promised investments from a group of unnamed institutional investors.

The regulatory questions focus on the October announcement by Trump’s media venture that it would merge with Digital World Acquisition Corp. That company had launched on the U.S. stock market three weeks earlier with the sole purpose of finding a privately held company to buy. It’s often referred to by its trading symbol of “DWAC.”

Damn! These jerks never give up!

and who still believes re-electing people like Mitch McConnell or Charlie Baker will stop the massive, bloated, highly-political Fed.gov from getting ever-more ideological and tryannical?

Fedzilla just bumped up the stock price 20%. If the public knows the feds are still at it, 180,000,000 voters out here will buy all the stock they can.

The Goya Foods phenomenon.

The big problem with having a gazillion laws and regulations is that they can always find you guilty of something, if they really want to.

No surprise there. Like everything else they investigate with Trump, they will find nothing but the headlines make for good red meat for the left and also ticks off the right as well....which is the point of a lot of this stuff

I’d like to hear from the principled conservatives who wailed that if you don’t like Twitter, build your own.

You can always count on stoopid liberals to get even more stoopid. This only helps Trump and company—free advertising!

Thankfully, Charlie Baker has announced that he is NOT running for re-election as governor of Massachusetts.
