we've known from the start that truth, social is a grift.
It's a con by trump.
Nobody disputes that.
But did you know how many members of his family were trying to get in on it?
We've got multiple scandalous different stories.
We need to mash up right here.
Some of this is being revealed by a guy named Will Wilkerson,
co founder of trump media and technology group.
That's the company that's behind true Central.
They say That Donald Trump pushed a different executive to give some of
his shares to Melania Trump and retaliated when the request was declined.
So Trump had been given a 90% stake in the company when it was founded,
even though of course he's not doing anything for and
indeed he didn't even choose to use it for several months.
They wanted his name on it.
So they gave him 90% of the value.
That's the sort of businessman that they are.
But Wilkerson told the Washington Post that he was with fellow co founder Andy
latency key in late last year when the latter received a call from trump
at the time, the company recently reached a merger deal
that was going to catapult the value of its stock.
Wilkerson said the former president asked latency to give some of his shares to
Melania trump.
So that already feels kind of like insider trading,
doing this right before the stock price goes up.
But okay, well, we'll return to that president trump had apparently been
spending months demanding that latency give his own equity to trump's wife
who was not in any way involved in the company.
He informed them multiple times that he had earned that equity and
that gifting the equity would be a taxable event that he couldn't afford to pay for
trump of course didn't care and said do whatever you need to do and
trump apparently threatened to blow up the company if his demands weren't met and
they weren't met apparently.
And so just a few months later latency was forced off of the board,
seemingly because of that.
Now Wilkerson has filed an ethics complaint, whistleblower complaint with
the sec and is cooperating with some investigations of trump.
We'll see if that that bears any fruit but understand that.
Well that's for Melanie just to be given millions and millions of dollars for
doing literally nothing that at least was trump going and doing it like and
asking them, you also had just people showing up erIC and Don Jr apparently just
went there and we're like yeah no we want some of the stock too.
They don't they don't do anything, they're not involved in the company,
They just wanted to be given stock that their father, their fathers involved in.
It's not even his company, he was just given stock.
So they feel like well we've been given everything else in our life,
why shouldn't we be given any of that.
And so they asked for it Will Wilkerson said they came in asking for a handout,
they had no bearing in this company and they were taking equity away from hard
working individuals, which is sort of like their whole thing, that's if their
house has words, it's we want to take equity away from hard working individuals.
Also, they've got other jobs, isn't this over employment dan for
them to want the equity from this company?
Yeah, I mean, you know the trump, they seem to be doing a little bit of law crime
over here, a little bit of business crime over there and then they're trying to,
I love the idea, okay, you have like trump properties and then you have,
you have trump real estate or whatever.
Now you have trump media and technology group hilarious.
It's very obviously that trump.
No, no one in the trump family is anywhere near this business because they're not
really good at media or technology as is shown by their massive paper trail for
all the crimes that they do.
But yeah, there's something particularly just sort of rich kids who have
gotten what they wanted to, their entire lives just based off of their name,
where they just came in and they're like, well this building has trump on it.
There's something that says, this is the trump company.
So like where's my cut, I'm my life speaking as eric and
donald trump jr my life is skimming where where is my skim, where can I do this?
This is, it kind of just goes to show that, but
I mean you look in the private companies, a lot of them are very interestingly run.
If only I cannot wait for the book on SpaceX and how that those deals are.
Because some of the insider stuff people know on that is would make would put truth
social to shame.
It would make them blush honestly.
So a lot of weird stuff happens with ownership in these companies.
But it doesn't look like truth social is on any stronger ground than even twitter
is so good luck for them.
Yeah. And don't worry there's already quite
a bit of shame on them.
Also.
This is like the most succession story I've ever read in my life.
Anyway we'll see what happens.
Obviously crimes being committed.
There will probably no justice because why would there be.
