As Donald Trump's social media company begins trading publicly Tuesday, would-be investors might ask themselves if the stock is too pricey and potentially too volatile. Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. was acquired Monday by a blank-check company called Digital World Acquisition Corp. Trump Media, which runs the social media platform Truth Social, now takes Digital World's place on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Trump Media debuts with a stock price near USD 50 and a market value of about USD 6.8 billion. Many of Digital World's investors were small-time investors either trying to support Trump or aiming to cash in on the mania, instead of big institutional and professional investors.

"You have to finish up your war. You have to finish it up. You've got to get it done," he said in an interview with Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom. "We've got to get to peace. You can't have this going on, and I will say Israel has to be very careful because you are losing a lot of the world. You are losing a lot of support." Trump, who earlier this month became the Republican Party's presumptive nominee, brought up global criticism of Israel's offensive even as he has repeatedly attacked President Joe Biden's handling of the conflict. According to the newspaper's transcript of the interview, Trump said "Israel made a very big mistake" in releasing photos and videos of its offensive in Gaza, commenting the country's public image is "

Biden using 'are you better off today' to contrast himself with Trump

President Joe Biden opened a new line of attack against former President Donald Trump on Wednesday, asking and answering the classic are you better off today than you were four years ago question to remind voters of what it was like when Trump was in office. The Democratic president also criticised Trump for saying over the weekend that a bloodbath would follow if he loses to Biden again in November. Trump and his allies defended the rhetoric, saying the Republican's comments were about the US auto industry. Trump's critics had a different take. Folks, we can't stand for this, Biden said in his first public comments on Trump's bloodbath claim. We have to say it as Americans, as Democrats, as independents, as Republicans, that there's no place for political violence ever. Period. Biden sought to turn the tables on Trump with the better off riff.
