Might Trump II, the digital Caligula's $15 billion lawsuit against the NYTimes be a diversion for his next massive money grab?
Which of his close supporters will get Tik Tok equity stakes? There is zero chance Trump II would let a political rival in on the deal.
Dealmakers deserve deal fees. I expect a Kwame Leonard type indirect payoff for Trump's Tik Tok framework. Trump II already got a luxury plane, currently being updated on the taxpayer dime.
I wrote this yesterday:
Who's in the Tik Tok deal? Lutnick's kids, the Trump boys, Dominari Holdings, Mnuchin, Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, Elon Musk, Eric Schmidt, the whole membership of the Executive Branch ("Just Us" Club)...or any private equity firms needing marketing fodder for their stale holdings?

The bigger the diversionary "private individual" Trump II headline, the larger the related grift or scam. Tic, toc, tic, toc goes the clock on the looming private deal for Tik Tok.
There is a very low likelihood Tik Tok will go to a public company. Secrecy is required in the Houses of Greed. Subsuming a whole organization takes a true monster and team of enablers.
