I first thought he must have flown in to sign the condolence book at the U.K. embassy but it looks instead like he met with seven men on the golf course at Trump national.
We all know what you are insinuating.
So is Trump granted the same first amendment rights as the rest of us..
That's an amazing way that you have of putting words in my mouth; words that I've never said!
Devin Nunes may be one of those in attendance. that suggests that the meeting may (in part) have been about Trump's Truth Social, which has been having problems lately.

Truth Social's ugly truth

Axios on emailTruth Social, the app launched by Donald Trump as a free speech platform for conservatives, is facing serious financial and legal stress as it tries to survive.
Why it matters: The app is the former president's biggest business venture since leaving office — and his best effort to create an alternative populist megaphone to amplify his political brand after being banned from Twitter.
- But for now at least, it's following a chaotic trajectory like so many of Trump's other businesses.
Driving the news: Truth Social owes one of its vendors, an internet infrastructure company for conservatives called RightForge, around $1.6 million in backdated payments, sources familiar with the disagreement told Axios.
- The situation, first reported by Fox Business, puts Truth Social at risk of losing the cloud hosting support that it needs to operate.
- Truth Social soft launched in February and rolled out widely to all U.S. iOS users in May. Cloud support, sources told Axios, may have contributed to Truth Social's full rollout delay.
Zoom in: If Truth Social fails to come up with the cash to pay back RightForge, the dispute could move to arbitration, one source noted.
- "RightForge is committed to servicing the client," CEO Martin Avila told Axios. "We were there from the ground floor and we support the president and all of his endeavors and we're committed to building a free speech American ideas based internet.”
The big picture: Beyond financial issues, Truth Social and the blank check company it plans to merge with in order to go public are facing serious legal problems and regulatory probes that could derail those plans.
- The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has refusedTrump's application for a trademark for "Truth Social."
- The blank check company — called Digital World Acquisition Corp. — is under investigation by the SEC for possibly negotiating their deal prior to going public, which is illegal if true.
- An investor sued Digital World Acquisition Corp.'s CEO last year, claiming fraud.
- There's been confusion regarding whether or not certain members of Truth Social's board are actually still on the board, including Trump himself.
Between the lines: Truth Social's financial problems are tied, in part, to setbacks related to the merger.
- Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company to Truth Social, announced its plans to merge with Digital World Acquisition Corp. last year, a move that would take it public.
- Going public would give TMTG access to roughly $1 billion it says it has raised from various hedge funds and investors.
- Last week, DWAC tried to delay its earnings report to securities regulators. The week before, it asked shareholders to approve an extension of its merger agreement with TMTG by a year.
State of play: It's unclear who has been backing the app's operations up to this point. The missed payments to at least one of its top vendors suggest Truth Social is struggling to maintain financial stability while it waits to access that cash.
According to its latest regulatory filings, DWAC has roughly $293 million in cash held in a trust, which represents the vast majority of its assets.
- Neither TMTG or DWAC has responded to a request for comment.
The intrigue: It's unclear how many people — or exactly who — is working for Truth Social. Most members of Trump's presidential inner circle are not involved in Truth Social's day-to-day operations.
- Its CEO, former Republican Congressman Devin Nunes, makes occasional media appearances to discuss the app, and a few people say on LinkedIn that they work for Truth Social.
- Earlier this year, three top officials in product, technology and legal left the company. Two sources familiar with the departures said the executives resigned in part due to cash flow issues.
Yes, but: The app's administrative challenges haven't stopped conservatives from exploring the service, where Trump now posts regularly without worry about being throttled or banned.
- As of mid-August, the app had nearly 3 million downloads worldwide across iOS (mostly in the U.S. and a few thousand in the UK), per Data.ai, an app measurement company.
- Truth Social saw a surge of downloads in response to the FBI’s execution of a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago earlier this month.
- Trump has nearly 4 million followers on the app, compared to the roughly 88 million he had on Twitter prior to being bannedlast year.
What we're watching: Truth Social is not yet available on Android operating systems, which means that around 44% of smartphone users in the U.S. can't download it.
LIAR LIAR pants on fire!!!!!!
Greenman don't tell me you can't add or subtract???
So 100-44=56!!!!!
So 56% of phones can download the app!!!!
Again spreading "PROPAGANDA"!!!!
Reps for Trump have been on NEWSMAX, calling these claims "FAKE NEWS", I believe them more than your MARXIST and Socialist rags!!!!
You seem to be saying that the article is correct.
Why all the exclamation marks?
As of right now TRUTH SOCIAL is not in financial problems!!!
Which AXIOS is trying to "PEDDLE FAKE NEWS"!!!!
!!!!!=Making a point!!!!
You keep peddling "FAKE NEWS"!!!

AUGUST 31, 2022Donald Trump’s social media company, TRUTH Social, is struggling with a host of financial, legal, and technical issues that threaten its very future. But its biggest problem, according to analysts, is something the company initially assumed would be its biggest draw: Trump himself.
]Social media networks that quickly capture large audiences tend to appeal to people across boundaries of age, location, economic status, race or political affiliation. But TRUTH Social, co-founded by the divisive former president, is targeting a very specific and much narrower audience, hampering its prospects for growth.
“Because TRUTH Social is an echo chamber, mainly for Trump followers, it doesn’t have the same kinds of diversity of opinion and content that make mainstream social media platforms appeal to the masses,” says Ryan Neville-Shepard, an associate professor of communication at the University of Arkansas who researches American political rhetoric. “And if it doesn’t appeal to the masses, it’s not going to be extremely profitable.”[
]TRUTH Social did not immediately respond to TIME’s request for comment.
The company’s app has yet to be approved for Google’s Play store. The holdup stems from the social network’s lack of sufficient content moderation, according to Google, a problem that plagues other conservative-leaning platforms, too.
Didn't you read after that sentence??
Once Republicans win in NOV and Trump announces he is running, all your MARXIST allies will run to TRUTH SOCIAL to follow what Trump is posting!!!!
ALL your MARXIST/SOCIALIST allies were members on Trump's Twitter account to follow what Trump was saying!!!!
How come they stopped following the ex-president?
How come they don't follow him on truth Social?
They can't all be android users.
Trump-linked SPAC changes address to UPS Store as investors pull more than $130 million
PUBLISHED MON, SEP 26 2022

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/26/trum...ts-pulled.html
Digital World Acquisition Corp., the blank-check company looking to take Trump Media and Technology Group public, has changed its listed address to a UPS Store in Miami.
The change from a Miami office building to a UPS address came with DWAC’s regulatory filing on Friday disclosing that some investors pulled out tens of millions of dollars.
The company said it had lost $138.5 million of the $1 billion in financing from private investors in public equity, also known as PIPE, to fund Trump Media after the merger. The contractual obligation for those investors to contribute to former President Donald Trump’s media company after the deal had expired last Tuesday, allowing them to pull their funding.
One of the former private investors told CNBC that it pulled financing from DWAC because of the many legal obstacles facing the company. The investor, who declined to be named due to the sensitive nature of the matter, was also underwhelmed by the popularity of Trump Media’s Truth Social app as measured by Donald Trump’s follower counts.
Trump had more than 80 million followers on Twitter. On Truth Social, which he founded after he was banned from Twitter following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, he has 4.1 million. The app is also currently barred from the Google Play store.
Representatives from DWAC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
After DWAC failed to garner enough shareholder support to extend its deal deadline earlier this month, CEO Patrick Orlando contributed $2.8 million from his company Arc Global Investments II to push back the deadline to December.
The merger delay comes as Trump Media and DWAC are the subject of a Securities and Exchange Commission probe into whether alleged discussions between the two companies prior to the merger violated securities laws.
Trump himself is also the subject of multiple investigations, including civil allegations of fraud from New York’s attorney general, as well as criminal investigations relating to the removal of sensitive documents from the White House, his involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection and attempts to influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
DWAC’s address change was first reported by the Financial Times.
Shares of DWAC were trading around $17 after hours Monday, down significantly from their $97 peak in March of this year.
In other words, a great opportunity to get in at the reduced price point.
Where are the true believers?
You can't invest when you're "PREDICTED" stock prices don't match your "PLANS"!!!
After all "INVESTORS" can't create their own money on a whim with their computers!!!
Digital World CEO urges Donald Trump to press shareholders to vote on merger extension

https://news.yahoo.com/digital-world...224926088.html
(Reuters) - Patrick Orlando, the head of the blank-check acquisition firm that has agreed to take Donald Trump's social media company public, on Friday urged Donald Trump and Trump Media boss Devin Nunes to promote an upcoming vote to extend the merger deadline.
The shell company, Digital World Acquisition Corp, earlier this month failed to secure enough shareholder support for a one-year extension to complete the deal.
The deadline has been pushed back to Oct. 10 in an effort to get more shareholders to vote.
"@realDonaldTrump @DevinNunes let's get the vote awareness up," Orlando wrote on a Truth Social post with attached information about the shareholder vote.
It's easy when those that fire back are such snowflakes.
