The President owns about 114.8 million DJT shares, which represents an ownership of roughly 41%. 

According to a Forbes report, Trump’s estimated net worth plunged by $168 million on Wednesday as DJT stock plummeted after the midterm results. 

“Trump Media stock is now down 97% from its peak, hitting another all-time low today. Its cumulative net losses since inception: -$1.8 billion,” Charlie Bilello, Chief Market Strategist at Creative Planning, noted in a post on X. 

Meanwhile, economist Peter Schiff said in a post on X that he believes the plunge in DJT shares likely shows investors fear Congress will put a stop to Trump from “using this company to sell market-moving insider information so high-frequency traders can front run retail investors.”

Key red states including Texas, Iowa, Ohio, Maine, and Kansas also flipped blue, making history. 

Meanwhile, Trump said in a Truth Social post on Wednesday, “I wasn’t on the Ballot and if I was, we would have won IN A LANDSLIDE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
