Former Republican Rep. Devin Nunes out as Trump Media CEO

Source: Politico

04/21/2026 10:00 PM EDT


Former Rep. Devin Nunes is out as CEO of President Donald Trump’s social media company, in a major shake-up.

Trump Media & Technology Group, the Truth Social parent company whose largest shareholder is Trump, said in a statement Tuesday that Nunes would be succeeded by Kevin McGurn, an adviser to the company, who will take over as interim CEO effective immediately. It did not offer a reason for Nunes’ unexpected departure.

“I want to thank Devin Nunes for his dedicated service to the Company over the past four years, and congratulate Kevin McGurn on his appointment as Interim CEO,” said Donald Trump Jr., who sits on the company’s board and oversees a trust holding his father’s shares in the company. “Kevin brings deep experience across media, technology, and capital markets, as well as a strong understanding of Trump Media’s operations and strategic priorities.”

The C-suite overhaul lands after years of repeated losses at Trump Media, a company that was once billed as a conservative challenger to Silicon Valley giants and the next gem in Trump’s vast business empire. The company recorded a net loss of more than $712 million and revenues of $3.7 million in 2025. Trump Media shares have struggled all the while as well. The stock, which trades under the ticker “DJT,” closed at $9.82 on Tuesday — marking a more than 75 percent decline since Trump’s inauguration.

Patel would run right over to the Trump White House and report to Trump everything the Intelligence Committee was discussing about Trump and Russia?

When Trump gets frustrated, he HAS to yell "You're fired" at someone.

This and his cabinet changes. When he runs out of options to hedge his failures the final strategy is to just fire people.

Since it went public two years ago, Trump Media has lost more than $1.1 billion. Nunes got total compensation of $47 million in 2024, the last year for which figures are available.

"The company, Trump Media & Technology, didn’t give a reason for Nunes leaving" - normally, gross yet expensive incompetence would be the obvious reason. But when it's a company designed to launder money, receive bribes and defraud gullible people, it's not always so clear.
