In the face of mounting scrutiny and wavering confidence from skeptics, the CEO of Trump Media & Technology, Devin Nunes, took a bold stance, affirming the company’s financial standing amid recent doubts about its profitability. The company recently revealed a staggering loss of $58 million in 2023 through regulatory filings, a revelation that sent shockwaves through the financial world.
Despite the storm brewing, Nunes staunchly defended the company during an appearance on Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures”, dismissing concerns about its profitability following the disclosure of massive financial losses. According to a report by The Hill, the filings unveiled that Trump Media & Technology Group, which embarked on a public endeavor just last month, managed to rake in a modest $4.1 million in revenue last year.
Nunes bolstered his defense by attributing the company’s current state to being “overregulated” and claiming it is remarkably well-positioned, thanks in part to its lack of debt. He also underscored the triumphant merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC) after enduring more than two grueling years of delays.
In a display of unwavering confidence, Nunes remained resolute and optimistic, pointing out that despite the substantial loss, the company had managed to construct its Truth Social platform at a fraction of the cost incurred by industry giants. He emphasized the company’s firm financial ground, boasting a lack of debt and a hearty $200 million securely tucked away in its coffers.
“So, despite the exorbitant expense incurred to reach this point, our position is solid. The absence of debt, the existence of a robust and proficient platform that resonates with millions, and a substantial $200 million at our disposal all contribute to our strength,” he confidently stated.

Despite the spirited defense, Nunes refrained from providing a concrete timeline for the company’s journey to profitability. Subsequent to the filings’ release, Trump Media’s stock shares witnessed a sharp decline, plummeting to around $40 after an initial peak of $79.38 during its inaugural week of trading.
Why It Matters: Trump Media finds itself under the harsh lens of scrutiny following an auditor’s unsettling verdict on its financial viability. The company’s financial woes have cast a long shadow of doubt on its sustainability moving forward.
Moreover, the company found itself in a blazing spotlight as JJ Kinahan, the chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade, hinted that nearly half of the U.S. citizens who cast their votes for Trump might be inclined towards investing in Trump Media & Technology stock, effectively turning their investment into a contribution towards Trump’s potential 2024 campaign.
Despite the turbulent financial waters, former President Trump continues to extol the virtues of the platform’s success, showcasing unflinching belief in its potential.
