A post by user pootklopp on r/wallstreetbets lays out three reasons to expect further downside in Trump Media: congressional oversight scrutiny of the family's crypto holdings, dilution from a pending merger, and what the author calls the inevitable removal from relevancy.
The author states the family crypto holdings exceed $500 million, and argues that oversight committees are actively circling that position. That scrutiny pressures the broader Trump Media story and the stock alongside it.

The top comment, from user Ok-Race-1677 with a score of 232, reads: "I didn't think this ticker could go any lower." It captures the bearish exhaustion the original post is riding, and exhausted shorts are also the conditions that draw in contrarian buyers looking to call a floor.
With 118 comments, the thread is active enough to reflect a genuine shift in retail sentiment. The mix of bearish conviction and bottom-calling chatter in the replies is worth monitoring as a read on retail positioning heading into the next trading session.
