Paying for access to Trump's posts in advance: so the president will sell his communications to financial companies

The new service called Truth API, launched by Trump Media & Technology Group—a company controlled by President Donald Trump’s family—offers banks and financial firms direct, real-time access to posts from influential accounts on Truth Social, including Trump’s own account. This service allows clients to receive updates faster than typical users, potentially giving them a competitive edge in financial markets. The service is set to launch on August 1st, though subscription pricing has not been disclosed. While the exact list of included accounts remains unclear, reports suggest Trump’s account, which has around 12.9 million followers, is among those selected. Critics have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, particularly since Trump’s statements often influence market movements.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about the launch of Truth API and mentions concerns over conflict of interest but does not exhibit overtly biased language or one-sided sourcing. It includes references to external outlets like the Financial Times and Reuters, suggesting balanced reporting.
