Remember that there are others subject to the same lockup dates as Donald Trump. They include Patrick Orlando, and former Apprentice contestants Andy Litinsky and Wes Moss: the latter 2 are embroiled in lawsuits with DJT.
Trump has been uncharacteristically quiet about DJT, further evidence that he does on occasion listen to his lawyers. In the IMHO thread I quoted the NYT:
Mr. Trump has some options. Selling shares to a single buyer, in a deal that’s announced after it’s completed, might limit the damage. He could also use the shares as collateral for a loan. Though he wouldn’t be selling, that could still pressure the stock.
Others have noted that there’s limited incentive for foreign actors to send freebies Trump’s way: it’s not like Trump keeps his promises. Maybe a home-grown influence peddler might show interest, but there are only so many pillow salesmen in the country.
