    It was not clear whether Trump was urging his supporters to use the app or buy shares in Trump Media

    This could look like an ill camouflaged attempt to influence the stock price, but remember this is a former president, a person with vast experience, who would never even dream of doing anything untoward. /s

      Honestly, he says to support Truth. I think it’s clear he means to use the app.

      Buying stock is not the same as supporting the company. Any other company that’s said “support [company]” you wouldn’t even consider they meant “buy [company] stock”.

          I guess. I read the comment and didn’t think there was a question about what he was referring to. But the article added in that layer of doubt for the reader.

            I don’t think that layer of doubt came from the article. It came from all the previous (and current) fraud and crimes that he’s committed.
