Trump Launches $100K/Month Service to Sell Market-Moving Word Salad
KEY POINTS
- •Trump Media launched Truth API Saturday to provide customers faster access to select Truth Social posts.
- •Reuters reported plans to charge up to $100,000 monthly, with possible discounts for three-year commitments.
- •Industry experts debated legality and market impacts, warning it benefits insiders at the expense of ordinary investors.
On a shining Saturday, Trump Media & Technology Group unveiled Truth API, a B2B feed charging up to $100,000 monthly for early access to Trump's nonstop Truth Social ramblings, which occasionally impact markets. According to interim CEO Kevin McGurn, it's a 'high-margin, recurring revenue stream,' aka a woke subscription to political chaos. Finance brains like Jim Bianco warn of 'more frequent market-shaking posts,' while Trump-supporting Sequoia VC Shaun Maguire laments it cheapens Trump's ‘many policy wins.’ Critics point out it arguably skirts insider trading laws, with James Surowiecki calling it illegal info for cash. Hedge fund guru Vuk Vuković sells shoppers: 'You're buying noise and snake oil.' The retail investor? Forever the loser. Meanwhile, Trump himself reportedly wasn’t consulted before selling Wall Street VIP passes to his tweets, raising questions if his media company’s majority owner actually runs the show or just tweets a lot.
