Summary
President-elect Donald Trump reiterated on Truth Social that he will not sell his shares in Trump Media, prompting a significant stock surge of up to 15% amidst recent volatility. Following his social media post, which addressed rumors of a sale, stocks rallied but remained only slightly above previous week's levels. Trump's 57% ownership represents a value of around $3.7 billion, despite a reported $19.2 million net loss for the third quarter. His call for investigations into market manipulators raises ethical concerns regarding his dual role as president and businessman.
