Donald Trump's media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), has launched a paid subscription service called Truth API that gives users early access to posts from the website's most prominent accounts, including President Donald Trump's account, which has over 13 million followers. The service costs up to $100,000 per month and allows users to see market-moving information before it is made public. This move has raised questions about whether it constitutes insider trading, as some argue that the company is profiting from the president's own public statements, which can influence financial markets. Experts have pointed out that if individuals were to trade on this information without paying for access, they could be guilty of insider trading, and by extension, so would those who pay for early access through Truth API. The service has been criticized for its potential impact on fair market practices and the ethics of a company profiting from the president's public statements.
