As tempting as that might be in the real world, in the financial world - this would be an expensive move, the most expensive short there is right now. Nearly all the available DJT stock was sold short but that has cost those people millions already.
Mars One https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_One received over 200,000 applications for a one-way ticket to Mars & raised money way too easily, before going bankrupt.
I remembered that Cuban was on record for saying & doing this & that link was the easiest to source from because so many people know who he is. I wanted to highlight the deed itself.
More recently, was the open letter written by over 250 billionaires & multi-millionaires pleading to be taxed more than they currently are.
As you say, you know it's almost pitchfork levels when the letter, which was read at WEF in Davos, says
“Our request is simple: we ask you to tax us, the very richest in society. This will not fundamentally alter our standard of living, nor deprive our children, nor harm our nations’ economic growth. But it will turn extreme and unproductive private wealth into an investment for our common democratic future.”
According to the article, "Imposing a 2% tax on the world’s billionaires alone would raise almost $250 billion annually"
Question is, why are governments so reluctant to grant them this?

It was recently reported that the White House, caught in a "damned if you damned if you don't scenario" that is synonymous with Trump, sided to go with tradition & allow Trump access to these, even while he fights a classified documents mishandling case in court. This wouldn't make any sense in a Jack Ryan novel & yet ...
The last time a guy wrote about his "life's struggles" in jail, not long after a failed coup, things didn't turn out so good for us.
Lets not give this magalomaniac any more ideas or access to writing materials if he ever sees the inside of a jail cell.
Soothsayer: "Beware the Ides of March" \
... many moments later \
Caesar: "Well, the Ides of March are come..." \
Soothsayer: Aye, Caesar, but not gone"
Incidentally, the 15th of March, today, is the Ides of March.
He should have been stopped by the Meuller Report. So many things, like an insurrection for example, should have made him ineligible for office. It is getting harder to put this all on Trump - people are enabling this.
That he still has supporters is beginning to say more about them than it does Trump - we already know who he is.
