‘This is insider trading by definition’: Trump sells $100,000 monthly subscription service to Wall Street to further monetize the presidency
Donald Trump has created a way for Wall Street to pay to win. Trump Media & Technology Group's premium data product released its new subscription service for earlier access to Truth Social posts for $100,000 a month. According to reports, five Wall Street firms have already signed up for the service, gaining access to Truth Social posts milliseconds before the general public.

"I'll be blunt," Gian Luca Clementi, an economics professor at NYU Stern School of Business, told Fortune. "This is insider trading by definition."

Because Trump owns roughly 41% of the company's shares, he stands to directly profit from the new recurring revenue stream. At five subscribers alone, the service would generate about $500,000 in monthly revenue, or $6 million annually.

That figure is modest by the standards Trump has set since returning to the White House. His 2025 financial disclosure showed his businesses generated more than $2 billion in personal income last year—nearly quadruple his 2024 total—with the bulk flowing from ventures that sit directly at the intersection of his office and his balance sheet. He earned roughly $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency alone, including $635 million in royalties from his $TRUMP meme coin and more than $500 million from World Liberty Financial, the crypto venture run by his sons.

Notably, Trump signed legislation promoting stablecoins just months after World Liberty launched its own—a policy-to-profit pipeline structurally similar to what Truth API now does with his social media posts. He has also collected millions from Trump-branded Bibles, sneakers, and watches, and Melania Trump secured a reported $28 million deal with Jeff Bezos for a documentary. Truth API is the latest mechanism in an established playbook.

He can pardon himself. I am sure he will do that
if ever convicted during his term.

And why not? Biden opened the door to pardons prior to convictions or accusations.

He pardoned his family: James B. Biden (brother), Sara Jones Biden (sister-in-law), Valerie Biden Owens (sister), John T. Owens (brother-in-law), Francis W. Biden (brother).

He pardons Dr. Anthony Fauci (former chief medical advisor), Gen. Mark Milley (retired Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman), Members and staff of the House Jan. 6th Select Committee, Testifying Capitol and D.C. police officers, etc. etc.

Noticed those that's trying to sue Trump for 'insider trading'... CA, NY and democrat politicians - especially E. Warren (who lied about his Native American gene to gain the system) and A. Schitts (the dude with mountains of evidence against Trump but nothing to show).

Majority of these experts argue that Trump's giving these subscribers 50-millisecond of heads up is insider trading...  You can't even blink faster than that - a human eye blink is approx. 100-400 millisecond. If anyone can trade a stock within 50-millisecond, he/she is either the Flash or can stop time.
