Because......

1...Trump is BROKE, or soon will be.

2...Trump and his children will be indicted for all sorts of crimes, including Racketeering.

3...Trump will most likely be in prison.

I still think he’ll never be held accountable, nor his offspring.

Only problem is FB is worth almost 207 times what T***p pretended to have.
So, the first part couldn't happen.
I have no doubt the second part would, though.

First, FB is valued at >70% of DB's asset base. They literally don't have enough capital & liquidity.
Second, several execs lost their jobs because of the stupidly granted loans. A couple are in legal trouble.
So, DB ain't it.
Now, I know you're thinking Russia. I just know it.
But,....NOOOOOOOOO!
That pipsqueak with nukes has a GDP of $1.7 trillion. FB has market cap of $993 billion.
Even T***p's buddy Putin can't help.
Oh, and did I mention that T***p is worth, at most, 1/6th of what he lied about? I probably didn't have to mention it.
That's why everyone agrees with the second part in the OP!

But your analysis is spot-on.

The Orange One's net worth is no where near what he claims it is.

It's not like his purported "wealth" is anymore real than the rest of what he represents.

much less buy up a significant amount of Facebook class A and B shares. Particularly the 10 vote class B. Much of that is owned by "I wish I was a real boy!" Zuckerberg and other insiders. Facebook market cap hit $1 trillion recently, so even if most of the shares were held by institutions and what not, it would still be an herculean lift.

On a side note....$1 trillion market cap controlled by a handful of people. That's fundamentally dangerous and wrong on numerous levels.
