How?
How is something like this even possible?
A company that’s bleeding money gets bought up by a a shell company called Digital World Acquisition Corp for waaaaay more than it’s worth?

Why?
Can someone explain the reasoning behind this?

Trump has friends in rich places who don't want him to fail.

It’s real simple, I’ll explain it to you. In a certain sense, Trump is quite right that he is being pursued by the justice system, and that if the justice system succeeds in hanging a charge on him and making it stick, then the justice department will carry on and pursue other people as well. The thing is, the class of people to whom he apparently appeals, and the class of people whom he is actually addressing, are two entirely different classes. The class of people to whom he apparently appeals consists of little guys, people just like AvJoe here. Whereas, the class of people he is actually addressing are his fellow plutocrats. If the justice department succeeds in compelling Donald Trump to play by the rules, to break up his cartels, and to pay a fair rate of tax on his billions, then they will indeed go after other plutocrats and force them also to break up cartels, to play by the rules, and to pay a fair rate of tax on their billions. However, there are not enough plutocrats to vote him into office. Therefore, he must twist this appeal to a class of people populous enough to give him a chance to get back into the White House. That’s why his narrative is so completely bizarre. It is so obvious he’s not fighting for the little guy, he’s fighting for himself and his fellow plutocrats. His fellow plutocrats realize that they’ll be next in line if he fails, and that’s why they have a vested interest in helping him to either avoid these court cases or somehow survive them, even if they despise the man’s personality.

Ha excellent synopsis of the Trump Presidential grift, usually the grift is bseed on the greed of the mark but this one is based on the seething hatred that a section of US society has for itself that they have projected onto everyone else who’s not them.
It’s sad and scary to watch. It’s how death camps get built

Trump sells well to people who have a visceral hatred of regulation and 'goobermint', and he knows it; that's why he plays up his 'I'm the victim' narrative. The paradox is that he also sells well to people, especially Evangelicals, who want more regulation, especially of people's bodies and beliefs. It is truly a pact with devils.
