Truth Social Launches $100K Subscription for Trump Posts
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, uses a social media site called Truth Social to share news.
Now, the site is selling a special membership that lets people see his posts before anyone else.
The membership costs $100,000 a month.
Some people think this is unfair because it could let traders buy stocks before the news is public.
They say it could be a form of corruption.
Trump’s company says it’s just a normal business and that everyone gets the same information at the same time.
Senators from the Democratic Party have written to the Securities and Exchange Commission to warn about this.
The debate is about whether the President should use his power to make money.
The whole thing shows how politics and business can mix.
Truth Social has introduced a $100,000 per month subscription called Truth API for early access to President Trump’s posts and other influential users.
The service promises a real‑time feed of posts that could be market‑moving, appealing to high‑frequency trading firms.
Critics, such as Irene Aldridge, claim the scheme amounts to corruption and could give insiders a trading advantage.
Trump Media and Technology defends the product as a free‑market initiative and denies any wrongdoing.
Democratic senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren have written to the SEC expressing concern over abuse of presidential power.
