Last week, Trump Media & Technology Group — which operates the Truth Social platform, the U.S. president’s preferred avenue of digital communications — said it will provide “immediate, verified access” to “the highest-ranking” accounts on Truth Social. That would let, say, financial institutions pay to get instant alerts about potentially market-moving statements from Donald Trump himself.

TMTG execs have discussed charging Wall Street traders and investment firms up to $100,000 per month for faster access to the president’s posts, according to a Reuters report.
