Trump offers paid early access to social media posts
Donald Trump has launched a subscription service offering Wall Street traders high-speed access to his Truth Social posts for up to $100,000 per month. This service, described as an "API" (Application Programming Interface), provides early access to his announcements, particularly those concerning economic policy and global affairs. Some coverage has characterized this move as a potential profit-making venture off US policy announcements and has raised concerns about corruption and benefitting a sitting president. Other reports focused on Trump's potential to restart trade wars and impose tariffs on exports.
