Trump&#8217;s Truth Social post published at 10:05 p.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 1 announced that &#8220;the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to&#8221; including immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump needs to provide more market moving posts in order to attract and keep customers of <em>Truth API<\/em>, so &#8230; what will he make up next? Announce an invasion of the <strong>Democratic Republic of the Congo<\/strong> in order to secure rare metals for the United States?<\/p>\n<p>And then he&#8217;ll discover he has to execute that invasion, otherwise <em>Truth API<\/em> loses value.<\/p>\n<p>This is why an immature fascination with money is entirely inappropriate in government officials. Private and public interests are rarely in accordance.<\/p>\n<p>That said, <em><strong>DJT<\/strong><\/em> price per share breached $10\/sh again, and now sits at $10.23\/sh. Does this mean it&#8217;s on its way up?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think so. The momentary success of <em>Truth API<\/em> may delay, but not suppress, the corruption inherent in that feature when it&#8217;s combined with <strong>Truth Social&#8217;s<\/strong> chief feature, the President. As investors view its use and performance, and think about the implications, as I&#8217;ve done above, the wise investors will walk away. Combine that with the ridiculous market cap of this company, and it seems highly unlikely that it&#8217;ll keep bobbing up this high.<\/p>\n<p>Especially given the constant stream of bad news that seems to follow Trump from golf course to his office and back to the golf course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuing the Truth API thread, here&#8217;s Investor&#8217;s Business Daily (IBD) (via yahoo!finance) with the beginning of a report on the first use of the Truth API feature of Truth Social: Trump Media &amp; Technology Group stock rose on Monday morning after its pricey new service kicked off on Saturday with \u2026 <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/2026\/08\/08\/dont-sell-at-the-bottom-ctd-32\/\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45408"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45412,"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45408\/revisions\/45412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/huewhite.com\/umb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
