Those Larian Studios people seem pretty nice from what one can hear.

I don't think that applies here.
The democrats oppose this spy tool because it is badly regulated and prone to abuse.
The Trump loyalists oppose this spy tool because it may expose some of Trumps crimes and treason.
Well the stock rising does generate money for Trump no matter if anyone shortsells it.
If you shortsell, you position yourself against the stock.
If it rises Trump wins and you lose.
If it falls Trump loses and you win.
But neither way is it you shorting the stock that makes Trump win.
He wins if the company represented by the stock actually grows in value and the stock price rises or if idiots buy his stocks and make the price go up.
But I predict that after a brief rush on the stock by his gullible idiots in the beginning noone will want to buy his stock anymore.
That's why I would consider shorting it, because I predict the stock to keep falling.
This I predict because I think the company that is represented by the stock is shit and basically worthless, which the stockprice should represent in due time.
A shortseller thus wants to profit off of Trumps losses.
Also, I don't quite remember what happens if shorting fails, but it benefits the stock, doesn't it?
First things first, I don't really know how to actually shortsell stuff. My portfolio is super basic and my original comment was only half serious.
But I think you have the causality the wrong way around.
It's less that the stock profits if my short fails.
It's more that my short fails (in that I lose money) if the price of the stock goes up.
A single small shortsale can't really affect the stock price in a meaningful way, but if it could it would generally lower the stocks price since it is a signal that the market (which the shortseller is a part of) has no trust in the stock.
That said I am by no means a trading expert myself and could possibly miss some effects on the market.
I only invest long term in broadly spread ETFs (think MSCI World and similar).
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I also would never think of actually investing in anything Trump.
Shortselling is betting that the stock value falls without actually holding the stock.
Yeah it's called Wiesnkoks.
This link claims it is a mixture of menthol and glucose, but I have also heard of Schnupftabak/snuff (?) that was dyed white somehow.
Oh and obviously there is plenty of real cocaine at the Oktoberfest as well.
That stock is the first time that I actually considered shortselling anything.
To quote Captain Holt:
"That is amazingly funny."
I like how they sell fake cocaine to give plausible deniability to those who like to use in the open.
I am by no means am expert.
I just went of this:
The halberd is still the ceremonial weapon of the Swiss Guard in the Vatican.
And I am pretty sure that in German they call the weapon of the Swiss Guard Hellebarde.
What a brilliant performance.
Those spinning kicks into Gaethjes duckdowns were beautiful and the one at the end of round 1 basically won him the fight.
