Trump stands to profit off US policy announcements by selling fast access to his social media posts

Americas 3 sources 2 countries 🔦 Under-reported 7m ago

Donald Trump’s Truth Social business began offering paid sneak peeks of his social media posts to Wall Street traders, allowing him to profit directly from US policy announcements. The initiative, which launched on a Saturday, capitalizes on the global market's reliance on the statements of the US president.

The venture has sparked a significant ethics controversy, with critics characterizing the monetization of rapid access to presidential communications as a conflict of interest. Because financial markets frequently react to presidential policy announcements, selling advanced or expedited access to these statements raises concerns about market fairness and the potential for personal financial gain derived from official government actions.
