I do expect NASDAQ: DJT to tank as it is a money-losing company with few or no assets and little growth potential.
Shorting Gamestop broke Melivin Capital in 2022. It's too high-risk a play for the potential gain, IMO.

Hard to say. A premature short could cost a fortune.

I doubt you could even find many shares to short, and if you don't have very deep pockets, you risk being hit with a margin call on the next spike and forced to cover with a huge loss. Billionaires friendly to trump are propping it up right now, so don't get in their way if you don't want to get crushed.
