NEW YORK (AP) Rooting for Donald Trump to fail has rarely been this profitable.

Just ask a hardy band of mostly amateur Wall Street investors who have collectively made tens of millions of dollars over the past month by betting that the stock price of his social media business Truth Social will keep dropping despite massive buying by Trump loyalists and wild swings that often mirror the candidates latest polls, court trials and outbursts on Trump Social itself.

Several of these investors interviewed by The Associated Press say their bearish gambles using put options and other trading tools are driven less by their personal feelings about the former president (most dont like him) than their faith in the woeful underlying financials of a company that made less money last year than the average Wendys hamburger franchise.

This company makes no money. ... It makes no sense, said Boise, Idaho, ad executive Elle Stange, who estimates shes made $1,300 betting against Trump Media & Technology stock. Hes not as great a businessman as he thinks. A lot of his businesses go belly up, quickly.
