Final Week Tonight’s John Oliver broke down how the Reality Social meme inventory is a reverse GameStop.

Oliver mentioned after two Trumpers defined why to however the DJT inventory:

You gotta love dudes. Look, in a manner, they’re proper, although. Reality Social is mainly a meme inventory now. And its worth has risen based mostly on the identical precept behind meme shares like GameStop or AMC. If sufficient buyers purchase shares, they will drive the value up, and everybody can in some way get out earlier than the bubble bursts.

However the GameStop motion was no less than nominally about wresting monetary energy away from from s*itty wealthy a**holes and restoring it to the little man, whereas this motion is about funneling the little man’s cash on to the sh*ttiest wealthy a**gap there may be. And it’s been pushed the identical manner as different meme shares by means of social media posts like this one that claims, in the event you love America, purchase DJT now, or this one studying, keep calm and purchase extra DJT, to my private favourite, this one which promotes the inventory alongside an eagle formed erection that jizzes glitter, which is sensible, I suppose.

Reality Social is sort of like a penis in that quite a lot of unhappy males on the web spend their time mendacity about how huge it’s and what it may possibly do for you. Look, who is aware of precisely the place it will go. Reality Social’s worth may collapse when folks understand they’ve poured billions of {dollars} right into a potato with the phrase social media painted on it.

Though, if that occurs, I’m guessing Trump can have already cashed out, leaving his supporters holding the bag. Nevertheless it’s additionally attainable that Trump turns into president once more and holds onto the platform as a handy manner for corporations and international pursuits to funnel cash into his pockets, which all of them know he wants.

However the backside line right here is that this 12 months greater than ever, the whole lot Trump does goes to be a money seize. This 12 months has introduced one of many few instances he’s really been requested to. pay the value for his actions, however already he’s acquired different folks footing the invoice.

Reality Social is a con. It’s an empty firm that produces nothing and received’t launch the information on the variety of customers who on the positioning. Every part about Reality Social is a pink flag. Oliver was proper. The place this goes seemingly includes Trump cashing out and leaving his supporters broke and holding the bag.

It’s a film we’ve seen time and again. Trump skates away and his sucker supporters are left holding the bag and selecting up the items. So long as individuals are prepared to bail Trump out with their very own cash, he’ll proceed to grift for acquire.
