Wall Street is now paying up to $100k a month to read Trump’s posts before you do. Trump Media just told analysts it’s signed more than 10 deals, mostly with high-frequency trading firms, for direct API access to Truth Social. That feed delivers Trump’s posts split-seconds ahead of the public. Here’s why that matters. Trump routinely drops policy on Truth Social first, tariffs, national security, executive orders, sometimes before his own administration knows. For trading algorithms, a few milliseconds on news like that is real money. The firms paying in get an early look at market-moving news. Regular traders see it once it’s already priced in. Senators Warren and Schiff have asked the SEC to look into whether the arrangement is legal, calling it a threat to basic market fairness. The platform itself stays small. Just 261,300 daily users in July, down 40% on the year, and a $238 million quarterly loss. X pulls nearly 500 times the traffic. Sure, they’ll catch the big policy posts first, and also the most random shit Trump drops with zero context.
