This has to be one of the biggest conflicts of interest in modern markets

Trump’s company is literally selling Wall Street faster access to the President’s market-moving posts. How is this okay?

I thought this was fake, but it’s actually real.

Trump Media is launching a paid “Truth API” on August 1 for banks, hedge funds, and HFT firms. The idea is simple: firms can get Trump’s Truth Social posts in milliseconds through an official API instead of waiting on normal notifications.

Trump regularly announces tariffs, foreign policy, and other decisions that move stocks, bonds, oil, and crypto.

So now his own company is making money by selling the fastest way to receive those market-moving posts.

Whether or not the posts are technically released at the exact same time, selling low-latency access to the President’s announcements feels like a massive conflict of interest.

The entire admin regime is predicated on massive grifting with all the shady crypto scams, bribes, and brazen market manipulation. :face_with_monocle:

This is not surprising considering everything else. :lying_face:

FWIW, Access to API is paid in most businesses. Also those firms(Big money) move the market and not Trump. Trump can write WWIII and if those firms decide to move the market up, it’ll be up. They can then spin up a story on how World wars are good for the economy. Moneycontrol will publish 10 reasons why market went up despite world war etc.
