Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) jumped after markets opened Monday, the first trading session since Saturday’s attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Stock in the company, which owns the Truth Social social-media platform, was up 35% to $41.75 as of 10:30 a.m. ET, somewhat below morning highs.
