Trump media partner says it has lined up $1B in capitalPALM BEACH, Florida (AP) Donald Trumps new social media company and its special purpose acquisition company partner say the partner has agreements for $1 billion in capital from institutional investors.
The former president launched his new company, Trump Media & Technology Group, in October. He unveiled plans for a new messaging app called Truth Social to rival Twitter and the other social media platforms that banned him following the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
TMTGs plan is to become a publicly listed company through a merger with the publicly traded Digital World Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company whose sole purpose is to acquire a private company and take it public.
The institutional investors were not identified in a press release issued Saturday by Trump Media and Digital World. The money would come from a diverse group" of investors after the two companies are combined, it said.

Trump hires someone to throw up a $20,000 website, sells subscriptions to pay the utility and connectivity bills, and keeps the rest. Haven't these people figured out yet that investing in anything related to Donald Trump is like buying 20 percent of "Springtime for Hitler"?
