3 Ways to Invest Like Donald Trump Today

Donald Trump built his wealth in real estate, while also venturing into entertainment, including his popular show The Apprentice and his new social media app Truth Social.

Let's check out three ways that you could invest and grow your wealth like Donald Trump.

Truth Social's SPAC Partner

Truth Social is in the process of going public through a SPAC merger with Digital World Acquisition Corp. DWAC.

Truth Social describes itself as "America’s ‘Big Tent' social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology." 

While the deal has taken quite some time to come together, and there are several hurdles left, Truth Social could join the likes of Meta META and Snap SNAP as a top beneficiary of the upcoming presidential election and a potential ban of TikTok.
