    I guess the narrative here that Trump feeds to the retail stockholders is going to be that he was going to make everyone wealthy and that it was a great buy but that evil nasty short sellers ruined the party.

    In all seriousness, it boggles me how everything that guy touches winds up with some level of trying to mislead people.

      Why does it boggle you? He’s always been an unapologetic con man.

      What’s boggling is people keep believing his bullshit.

      Also, boggle has now lost all meaning to me.

      I’m afraid that this is all he is as a person. He doesn’t actually do or produce things, he pretends to do so and fleeces money from sycophants in the process.

        I hope that a year from now, he’s not telling Trump supporters that George Soros or whoever stole their and his money by shorting and asking for campaign contributions for another presidential run so that he can fix the stock market for them.
