Truth Social to sell banks 'fastest' access to Trump's posts

Source: Reuters

July 16 (Reuters) - Trump Media & Technology Group has unveiled a paid-for, licensed data feed that will give banks ​and trading firms "the fastest" access to posts from influential Truth Social ‌accounts, such as President Donald Trump's, whose posts often move global markets.
The product, called 'Truth API', will deliver posts from the 10 most influential accounts to customers at a significantly ​faster pace than a regular push notification on the Truth Social ​platform, a spokesperson said.

moved the markets, and how amazed he was. No doubt dollar signs flashed in his head, and then came the whipsaw of on-again-off-again war/ceasefire. And now instead of just doing the trades (maybe the market reacts less now?), he's extended the grift by selling insider trading.

I hope he lives long enough to face justice.
