Donald Trump's Net Worth Hits $6.5 Bn | But is He Still Broke? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Former US President Donald Trump is now the richest he's ever been. On Tuesday, Trump became one of the 500 richest people in the world. Trump's net worth jumped by about 4.5 billion dollars. He's now worth about $6.5 billion. Trump owns close to 58% of the social media platform Truth Social. Truth Social's parent company went public and was listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange on Tuesday. It was listed under the ticker DJT. Truth Social's shar prices surged by 50% at one point. The company ended the day with a market cap of $8 billion. But can Trump really use the money he made thanks to Truth Social's surge?

I know that your channels are controlled by the billionaires in Indian but at least do some covering on unemployment in India and the election in India. Covering on Modi and the funds he get from the billionaires of India so that they stays in Power, Making the billionaires richer and the low class poorer. Report on the ongoing highest income inequality in the history of India, the income inequality of India now is worst than when British was ruling India. Why don't you cover on that topic ? No! right? Because it's those few mega rich of Indian individuals that controls what you cover. So that you can fool the middle and lower class citizens with your oratory skills. Covering up on the world's problems and ignoring India's issues so that you can divert the the attention of people living in India to another side. That is the same technique used by the government in the book, "1984". Guys open your eyes.
