Trump Denies Intent To Sell DJT Stock

This week, investor attention has turned to another event: the expected end of a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:lock-up period that has prevented Trump, a company director, and several other insiders from selling their shares. Trump owned nearly 60% of the company’s outstanding stock as of an August regulatory filing. 

Last week, Trump in statements indicated his support for DJT stock. “It is my intention to own this stock for a long period of time,” he wrote on Truth Social on Friday. And in a televised interview that same day, he said, “I don’t want to sell my shares. I’m not going to sell my shares.”

DJT stock has steadily fallen this week. It finished Thursday off nearly 6%.
