Trump’s pro-American campaign promised a manufacturing renaissance, higher tariffs on imported goods, ultra-low taxes and regulations for domestic producers, and more.

Despite the investor selloff on the expiry of the lockup deal, Trump Media stock has been up over 8% in the last five days.

Last week, Trump Media co-founders Andrew Litinsky and Wes Moss’s United Atlantic Ventures sold over seven million shares of Trump Media. Trump, who owns over 56% of Trump Media, maintained his plans not to sell his stake in the Truth Social parent.

Price Action: DJT stock is up 3.66% at $15.29 at the last check on Monday.
