Trump Media shares halted repeatedly as DJT whipsaws in volatile trading

Trading of Trump Media shares was halted for volatility multiple times Tuesday morning as the company majority owned by Donald Trump ricocheted in early trading.

The company, which trades as DJT on the Nasdaq, was halted for five minutes at 9:36 a.m. ET, when shares were trading up around 14%.

That merger, which took Trump Media public, was completed in late March.

The company's stock now far exceeds its recent peak in mid-July, when its share price soared after the Republican presidential nominee narrowly survived an assassination attempt.

Trump owns nearly 57% of the company, which operates the Truth Social platform. His stake at Monday's closing price was worth upward of $5.4 billion,
