Donald Trump to make $3.4bn if shareholders back plan to float Trump Media
Ex-US president planning to list Trump Media & Technology Group if merger with special purpose acquisition company goes ahead
Donald Trump’s wealth is set to increase by about $3.4bn (£2.7bn) if a shareholder vote on Friday paves the way for the float of his Trump Media business.
The former US president is preparing to list Trump Media & Technology Group, which operates the Truth Social tech platform, via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, or Spac.
The Spac, called Digital World Acquisition, has scheduled a vote on the merger with Trump Media for Friday. However, there are complications around the planned vote after Digital World sued sponsor ARC Global Investments, which is trying to delay the deal, to back the merger.
If the merger goes ahead and Trump Media goes public as soon as next week, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee would not be able to cash in any of his potential paper wealth immediately. The merger document contains a provision that blocks major shareholders from selling stock for six months.
Trump’s finances are under pressure as he prepares to contest the US presidency with the incumbent, Joe Biden, for a second time. Last month Trump was formally ordered by a New York judge to pay $454m following a civil fraud case, in which the former president was found to have manipulated the value of his properties to obtain advantageous loan and insurance rates.
Trump has described the case as a “witch-hunt”, has denied all wrongdoing and intends to appeal against the ruling. Monday is also the deadline for him to obtain a bond against his assets guaranteeing payment of the $454m. However, this week his lawyers said it was “a practical impossibility” to obtain the bond after 30 surety companies turned him down.
Spacs raise money via a stock market flotation and then buy or merge with an existing company – in this case Trump Media. The newly combined company will have a stock market ticker comprising Trump’s initials, DJT.
Trump would own just under 79m shares in the company. Based on Digital World’s closing share price of $42.90 on Wednesday, the former president’s stake in the post-merger business would be worth about $3.4bn. Trump’s potential windfall is dependent on Trump Media maintaining its price post-flotation despite a modest financial performance. Last year a securities filing revealed that Trump Media had lost $31.6m since its launch in 2021, with sales of less than $5m.
Trump maintains he is worth several billion dollars. Last year he testified he had about $400m in cash, as well as further wealth tied up in properties and other investments.
Shares in Digital World have climbed 145% this year, reflecting its status as a so-called meme stock, the term for an equity that is boosted via internet memes – in Digital World’s case, posted on forums like Truth Social and Reddit – encouraging non-professional investors to buy into it.
Julian Klymochko, the chief executive of Accelerate Financial Technologies, which has a Spac-focused fund, said: “Digital World Spac’s trading is 100% influenced by the probability of Trump winning the election. It surged in January when Ron DeSantis threw in the towel.” Referring to its valuation, he said: “DWAC is not a traditional stock based on fundamentals, but a meme stock used for betting on whether Trump gets elected.”
The merger document contains a standard provision barring “founder share” owners like Trump from selling their stock until six months after the completion of the deal – a clause designed to prevent a glut of shares hitting the market and suppressing their price in after a listing debut.

Man claiming to be Hezbollah bomb maker was stopped at southern border, official says
Border Patrol agents stopped a Lebanese migrant at the border near El Paso, Texas, earlier this month who claimed to be a member of Hezbollah and that he was going to New York and was going to try to make a bomb, a Customs and Border Protection official confirmed Monday.
The man is now in U.S. custody and there is an active investigation into him and his claims, said the official, who asked to remain anonymous.
The New York Post first reported that Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, had been apprehended trying to cross the border in Texas on March 9, and that he told agents that he had trained with Hezbollah, and said, “I’m going to try to make a bomb.”
In a statement, a CBP spokesperson said, “If an individual poses a potential threat to national security or public safety, we deny admission, detain, remove, or refer them to other federal agencies for further vetting, investigation and/or prosecution as appropriate.”
Hezbollah has been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the State Department. NBC News reported in September that border agents had encountered a “growing number of individuals” on the FBI’s terrorist watchlist trying to enter the country via the southern border, according to a threat assessment released by the Department of Homeland Security.
As of July 2023, 160 migrants whose identities match those on the Terrorist Screening Dataset had been apprehended by CBP trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border during fiscal year 2023, compared to 100 in fiscal year 2022. Overall, the U.S. recorded 2.5 million encounters with migrants trying to cross the border in fiscal 2023.
It was not known if the man apprehended March 9 was on that list.

You don't know wtf you're talking about.
Free dispersed camping is allowed in all state forests, national forests and many other places. We do it 4 or 5 times a year.

Not here in the Federal Forest, there's fees at all the campgrounds in this area. Here's a bunch of them nearby:
