Investors playing hardball with troubled Trump start-up as they threaten to take their money and walk: report

According to a report from Politico, the embattled partnership between Donald Trump's social media start-up and the company behind the SPAC that would take it public is on the verge of falling apart for good as potential investors either renege on their plans to fund it or demand a bigger return on their investment.

At issue is the proposed deal that was supposed to inject over a billion dollars into the increasingly troubled start-up before it went public -- which now may collapse under its own weight.
