It’s no secret anymore: Trump’s social media platform has taken a nosedive in the stock market. Truth Social, once touted as the conservative answer to Twitter (now X) and Facebook, has been a colossal failure, especially since it went public on the NYSE.

His brand is nearly worthless these days, and by “brand,” I mean his name. That’s really all he’s ever traded on. Even Truth Social, a subgroup of Trump Media and Technology Group Corporation, trades on the stock exchange under his initials, DJT.

It’s also no secret why he’s faring so poorly.

Why would anyone want to be associated with a racist, criminal, loudmouth, rapist, unless they’re in the cult of Trump? Hotels have pried his name off the sides of their buildings in such a hurry that even HE was surprised.

But he’s still trying to sell Truth Social to the public, and now he’s using Melania to do it. And he’s aiming for the fringe voters.

He just reposted a meme of his wife photoshopped with the Truth Social logo on a pair of sunglasses, and the phrase “Do it, Q” printed at the top of the picture.

He continues to deny that he’s trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator — the conspiracy crowd — but also continues to repost things like this from “@FruitSnacks,” his most ardent QAnon-following fan.

Seriously, it’s not his first repost of this account. He’s also posted, all the way back in August, the same user decrying the January 6 insurrection as having been staged by the government, and calling for the arrest of the committee investigating the affair.

Just to catch you up, in case you have forgotten what QAnon is, it’s for loonies. They literally believe that a deep network of Satan-worshiping Democrats trafficks in children and drinks their blood for the “adrenochrome” in it, which they believe gives them eternal life.

These are the people that shot up a pizza joint because they thought there were kidnapped kids in the basement. The restaurant doesn’t have a basement.

This is who Trump knows will support someone like him, because they get all this “information” from an anonymous guy in the internet who calls himself Q. If people will believe that, they’ll definitely believe that a serial rapist and serial liar like Trump deserves the Oval Office.

And maybe his stock goes back up a little.
