I thought it tumbled (5%) when the markets opened Monday because his talk about a 3rd party reduced investor confidence in him minding the store.
What does his feud with Trump have to do with it? They've been feuding a couple months. It's only down 0.8% since May 9.
It's down 5% THIS WEEK. IOW, it was going up during the feud.
The emphasis on the "feud" makes no sense.
