Trump media and tech company closer to going public
President Trump posted in Truth Social Wednesday morning, Sept 6, announcing that shareholders in his Digital World Acquisition Corporation (DWAC) have approved the Extension Amendment paving the way for a merger with Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the parent company of Truth Social.
This announcement comes almost exactly a year to the day that TMTG issued a statement accusing the SEC of being "political" (a nice way of saying corrupt) in delaying review of the proposed merger then. We see this as just more flushing out of deepstate cockroaches, we have no doubt this was anticipated by the Trump Team.
Replies to this morning's post show great enthusiasm for the coming merger which would take Truth Social public and allow it to grow into a far more capable social media application.
We watch and wait to see how this will fit into the Plan to Save the World along with Elon Musk's X that Elon is making into the "Everything App."

Trump Media & Technology Group Issues Statement on Proposed Merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp.
SARASOTA, Fla., Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Trump Media & Technology Group ("TMTG") released the following statement regarding its proposed merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. ("DWAC"):
"The SEC has needlessly delayed its review of our proposed merger, causing real and unnecessary financial harm to DWAC investors, roughly 90 percent of whom are small, retail shareholders whom the SEC is chartered to protect. Despite its standard practice to provide comments within 30 days, the SEC has failed to give meaningful feedback on DWAC's registration statement for a stunning 115 days and counting. In the interests of simple fairness, the SEC needs to set aside any improper political considerations and bring its review to a swift conclusion." (emphasis mine)
Truth Social chief suggests SEC trying to kill merger effort over politics
"He's worked overtime to try to kill our company," Nunes asserted.
By Ben Whedon, Just the News | April 17 2023
Trump Media & Technology Group CEO Devin Nunes on Monday shared suspicions that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is working to kill a prospective merger that would allow the company to get listed on the stock exchange and raise key capital to expand the platform.
Nunes made the remarks on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show, one day before SEC Chairman Gary Gensler is slated to speak before a congressional committee.
The former California lawmaker derided Gensler, asserting that his time in office had been marred by myriad disasters, saying "[w]ell, overall, you've had some of the biggest disasters that have occurred on his watch, whether it's the cryptocurrency guy, the FTX guy, so many things that are that have blown up on his watch."

Trump's Truth Social soars to best month ever, as lawmakers question SEC behavior in merger review
"The SEC just has to get answers to people," powerful House committee chairman says.
By John Solomon, Just the News | May 1 2023
As former President Donald Trump's social media platform soared to its best month ever, a growing number of Republicans in Congress are expressing concern that the Biden Securities and Exchange Commission may be slow-walking a compliance review to thwart a merger that could inject hundreds of millions of dollars into Truth Social from investors.
The SEC has been investigating for more than a year the application from Digital World Acquisition Corp. (DWAC), a special purpose acquisition corporation (SPAC), and its plans to merge with Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent of Truth Social. The long delay has frozen investors who put money into the SPAC hoping to help Trump's platform or to own a piece of the combined company.
Last week, some GOP lawmakers questioned the agency's chairman, former Hillary Clinton campaign chief financial officer Gary Gensler, about why it was taking so long.
