How the former US president might lose money if he starts tweeting.
In 2017, he said he wouldn't have become president without it.
"The simplest explanation is the most likely - it's about money," says Josh Tucker, professor of politics at New York University . Last year, the private company that owns Truth Social, Trump Media & Technology Group , announced its intention to merge with a shell company trading on the stock exchange called Digital World Acquisition Corp .
Considering DWAC would only be acquiring about a quarter of TMTG, Mr Trump's newly merged company would be worth at least $3-4bn, says Michael Ohlrogge, an academic specialising in Spacs.If it all goes through, it would make this business venture one of the most successful of Donald Trump's career.
