Violins are traditional instruments of cinematic mourning, either as background melody or very famously used literally in Titanic where the orchestra kept playing right up until the ship went down (historically accurate).
Spongebob Squarepants later had a one-off gag where Mr. Krabs wanted to express insincere mourning, so he pulled out a finger-size violin and said something to the effect of “Oh boo hoo. Let me play you a sad song on the world’s tiniest violin”
Of course, being Spongebob Squarepants, the gag was executed so flawlessly that it was immediately seamlessly integrated into internet culture.
They can also, with varying success rates, use a sample of a person's speech to resurrect a dead person's voice to say things. Which can be used for good or bad purposes, like any tool. I do think recreating someone's handwriting a lot more balanced on the bad uses than on the good..
John Rekenthaler, vice president of research at Morningstar (MORN+0.470%), previously called DJT an “affinity stock” — one that trades on people’s feelings and perceptions of the former president, rather than its business performance. Rekenthaler warned that Trump Media stock would “go to zero or something close to it” if Trump were to lose the presidential election in November.
These new lows come just weeks before Trump will get the green light to offload his 114.75 million shares of Trump Media, or about 60% of the company’s outstanding stock. The Republican presidential hopeful stands to make upwards of $2 billion from the stock sale — although the value of those returns depends on the share price.
I think that it’s going to go to “zero or something close to it” once Trump starts bailing out. I don’t think that it’s going to need to reach the election and have Trump lose.
