Trump calls for investigation into possible 'illegal' rumors saying he wants to sell his Trump Media shares

Donald Trump has declared that he won’t sell any of his shares in Trump Media, and whoever is saying otherwise should be investigated.

The president-elect suggested in a post on his social network, Truth Social, that those spreading the rumors are possibly acting illegally.

“There are fake, untrue, and probably illegal rumors and/or statements made by, perhaps, market manipulators or short sellers, that I am interested in selling shares of Truth. THOSE RUMORS OR STATEMENTS ARE FALSE. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF SELLING! I hereby request that the people who have set off these fake rumors or statements, and who may have done so in the past, be immediately investigated by the appropriate authorities,” he wrote in the post.

The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to Fortune’s request for comment.

If you are holding a short position in DJT and then spread the rumor... that's market manipulation and quite illegal.

If you're just some Joe off the street... not illegal.

decisions whatever to buy or sell a stock, any stock?

He's full of BS. Unless he can prove actual collusion, he won't get anywhere and he's got to prove it too.
