then is trying to lose as little money as possible from this ordeal

Bro he could have just bought it and done nothing and he would have been better off. I don't have the same read that you do. My read is that he had specific strategic political interests in buying it and the money/ value/ revenue shit is secondary.

He was actually forced to buy it after suggesting it

But the point remains that doing nothing would have brought more value so I agree that he isn't trying to recoup lost money here

Yeah he probably is just playing with his new toy

But then he wouldn't be able to use it to influence the US presidential election.
