Trump Media to offer paid fast access to key social posts

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the owner of the Truth Social app, is introducing a new paid data service that will provide financial firms on Wall Street with real-time access to its most impactful social media posts.

The new service, set to launch on August 1, promises to deliver instant updates from key accounts. TMTG hopes this will create a steady new revenue stream for a business that is currently loss-making. The service is specifically aimed at financial traders who require rapid information on posts that could move markets.

Donald Trump's social media posts, particularly those concerning trade and tariffs, have frequently caused sudden swings in global markets. Even a delay of a few seconds in accessing information can be costly for firms that until now have had to monitor the platform manually. The new system will deliver posts directly to paying clients.

"Markets already move on Truth Social posts," said Kevin McGurn, TMTG's interim boss, adding that the service will create a steady profit. The service will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is expected to compel firms to purchase the official feed as TMTG blocks current data scraping methods.

While other social media networks already sell data, this move highlights the unique overlap between Trump's private business dealings and his public role.
