6. Probably people who don't want their identities known as donors to his campaign

And who don't want to be identified as giving over any legal limit.

This way, Trump can cash out his own shares at a higher price than they have been worth recently, and if the price crashes afterward, once the artificial "demand" evaporates, the "donor/buyers" won't care since they weren't expecting to see the money again anyway. Added bonus--they can use the loss, if they sell at less than they paid, to offset gains (and thus taxes thereupon) that they made in legitimate stock transactions.
