Trump Media launches paid service for faster access to social posts

Trump Media has announced a new paid service called Truth API, set to launch on 1 August. It will give banks and trading firms very fast access to posts from Truth Social's ten most-followed accounts, including President Trump's. The posts will arrive within milliseconds of being published. Trump Media says it has already signed up paying customers. This is the company's first product that licenses its data, and it is designed to bring in regular income. Critics have raised concerns about a conflict of interest. Trump's posts about tariffs, immigration, and foreign policy have moved financial markets before. The new service means he could profit from that market-moving power, while certain financial firms receive his posts faster than the general public.
