Donald Trump has broken his social media silence after his historic election win by shutting down claims he will sell shares in his platform Truth Social.
The president-elect said suggestions he would dump stocks were ‘illegal’ and demanded an investigation.
The 78-year-old is hunkered down in Mar-a-Lago celebrating his victory and beginning to shape his second White House administration.
He had been unusually quiet on social media for 72 hours before releasing a statement.
‘There are fake, untrue, and probably illegal rumors and/or statements made by, perhaps, market manipulators or short sellers, that I am interested in selling shares of Truth.
‘THOSE RUMORS OR STATEMENTS ARE FALSE. I HAVE NO INTENTION OF SELLING!
‘I hereby request that the people who have set off these fake rumors or statements, and who may have done so in the past, be immediately investigated by the appropriate authorities.
‘Truth is an important part of our historic win, and I deeply believe in it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!’
