A lawsuit filed in a Manhattan federal court alleges that former President Donald Trump charges $100,000 per month for early access to his posts on Truth Social.
The complaint highlights that Trump’s posts frequently influence financial markets, as they pertain to governmental policies, military actions, and other significant decisions.
Plaintiffs argue that this subscription model is “unprecedented, corrupt, and unconstitutional,” emphasizing that there are no legitimate interests that would justify allowing Trump to profit from selling government information.
The context of the case stems from the launch of the Truth API service in early August, which is reportedly targeting large investment firms and traders willing to pay $100,000 monthly for immediate access to Trump’s messages for trading purposes.
