WNU Editor: I am very skeptical of this valuation. There is just the promise of a product being released in a few months (a social-media platform called Truth Social). There are also no financials. No business plan. No explanation on this valuation. And no information.

And I also learned a long time ago to never underestimate Donald Trump.
