Trump launches $100K/month Truth Social early access service, faces insider trading claims

Donald Trump has launched a new $100,000 monthly subscription service that provides Wall Street firms with early access to Truth Social posts. This service, dubbed Truth API, allows subscribers to receive posts milliseconds before the general public, a move that has drawn criticism and accusations of insider trading from economics professors and legal experts. While Trump Media & Technology Group defends the service as a way to provide fast access to public data, some argue it monetizes information derived from the presidency and could violate federal law if market-moving news is shared before public release.
