The article "The Great Trump Media Robbery" from CounterPunch, published on February 21, 2025, discusses the controversial financial maneuvers surrounding Donald Trump's media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). It highlights how TMTG, which includes the social media platform Truth Social, has been embroiled in allegations of financial impropriety and stock manipulation. The piece details how Trump and his associates allegedly used the company to enrich themselves through questionable stock transactions and loans, with the stock price experiencing wild fluctuations that benefited insiders. The article also touches on the broader implications of these actions, suggesting that they reflect a pattern of behavior consistent with Trump's business dealings, where personal gain often overshadows ethical considerations. It critiques the lack of regulatory oversight and the potential damage to investor confidence in the market, painting a picture of a "robbery" not just of financial resources but also of public trust in media and corporate governance.
