[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 77617605, member: 313046"] That's not how this works, at all. First off, I'm not aware that he's sunk any of his own money into this. I could be wrong, but my understanding is that he's basically trading on his name and his time, which is how he's structured many of his branding deals. So, unless there's some sort of tax provision that he owes money on the value of the shares when he acquired them rather than when he sells (which is a thing in some circumstances), there's basically no way for him to lose money on this. Second, that isn't even how stock prices work. Sure, with old, established companies, stock prices roughly track profits, but with newer companies, it's mostly speculation and hopium that the company will eventually turn a profit. You could have people pumping money into this stock, propping it up for years before it finally tanks. I would laugh my butt off if this whole thing collapsed, but I'm not so delusional as to think that Trump is unlikely to emerge with a sizeable windfall. [/QUOTE]
