This is a fun story:
"Co-founder of Trump’s media company details Truth Social’s bitter infighting
Will Wilkerson, one of Trump Media & Technology Group’s first employees, alleges the company violated securities laws and that Trump pressured executives to hand over their shares to his wife. He shared a cache of internal documents with The Post and federal investigators that he says support his claims.
Will Wilkerson, then an executive at former president Donald Trump’s start-up Trump Media & Technology Group, was at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., coffee shop with company co-founder Andy Litinsky last October when
Trump called Litinsky with a question: Would he give up some of his
shares to Trump’s wife, Melania?
Trump Media, the owner of the fledgling social network Truth Social, had
just been boosted by a huge merger agreement and a flood of investment
that had made the stake worth millions of dollars. Trump had already
been given 90 percent of the company’s shares in exchange for the use of his name and some minor involvement, leaving everyone else to split the
rest.
Litinsky tried to brush it off, telling Trump “the gift would have meant
a huge tax bill he couldn’t pay,” Wilkerson said in an interview. “Trump
didn’t care. He said, ‘Do whatever you need to do.’ ”
Five months later, Litinsky, who first met Trump in 2004 as a contestant
on the TV show “The Apprentice,” was abruptly removed from the company’s
board. Wilkerson said he believes it was payback for his refusal to turn
over a small fortune to the former president’s wife. Litinsky thought
so, too, according to an email Wilkerson and his attorneys shared with
The Washington Post and the Securities and Exchange Commission. In that email, Litinsky complained that Trump was “retaliating against me” by threatening to “ ‘blow up the company’ if his demands are not met.”"

But, wait! Where else could the orange goon disseminate such important
and useful "facts"? Huh?
Trump attacks American Jews, says they must 'get their act together' on Israel 'before it's too late'
“No President has done more for Israel than I have," the former
president wrote on his Truth Social platform. "Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially
those living in the U.S."
