Trump Media shares dropped nearly 10% Tuesday, following a volatile trading session that was briefly halted due to the stock's sudden plunge in price. After rising more than 13% earlier in the day, the stock tumbled over 6% at the time of the halt and continued to fall after trading resumed. The stock closed at above $27. Analysts suggest many retail investors of Trump Media are supporters of Donald Trump, the majority owner, and see stock trading as a bet on his political chances. Trump, who owns about 57% of the company, had vowed not to sell his shares. Key shareholder United Atlantic Ventures offloaded its nearly 11 million shares post-lockup.
