What retard would spend 100k/month for early posts? Dying to know.

It’s called insider trading. It is a crime.

I would insult you back and point out again how I'm obviously correct here, but I don't know who the frick you are. It gets boring after awhile. You randos are like literal cockroaches.

If trump shite in your mouth you'd defend it as its just his natural bodily functions and he as to shite somewhere.



You're a mess and a complete joke

That's funny. Several others in here seem to understand why people would pay so much for advance access to his posts. It sounds like this is a you problem, bud.

Question, are people paying these rates for this access? I don't know. But it isn't hard to see why they might. Especially when people accuse him of "Taco'ing" all the time to manipulate the markets. If the man is manipulating the markets with his tweets, advance access to those tweets is valuable to people who want to profit from his market manipulations.

This isn't rocket surgery, retard.

My comment isn’t about whether one should or shouldn’t invest in this. I’m just saying that you buy into everything Trump related. He could declare that the sky is green and that clouds are made of cheese and you would believe it and argue with anyone who disagrees.

For the record, I’m not anti-Trump(I’m glad he was elected and I shiver at the thought of a Kamala Presidency), I just think it’s weird when people so vehemently agree with and support literally everything a politician says or does.

Nothing like some access to Q+ and draining the swamp. Glad some action is taking place.

I've stated I don't love it, but simply because it's... unique at this level, not because it's nefarious. Your claim of conflict of interest for a business operating as a business is weak because its operating as it always has.

Does every business have a sitting President of the United States with a heavy hand in its operations, if not essentially outright ownership? Does every business happen to sell early access to information that at times can give an indication of potential impacts on market performance?

How many businesses exist where both of these questions can be answered with a yes?

How can you be so blind? 100k is totally meant for the average maga fan to be able to afford, definitely no nefarious actions at all.

I mean Trump got kicked off of Twitter and Facebook, who sell API services as well. He started his own social media platform that’s is open to anyone. Now they want to sell API services to directly connect to the platform.

I’m not sure how exactly this is inappropriate. It’s an API, meaning it integrates with the platform in real time - it isn’t inside access, it just saves seconds. There is a narrow customer base at this price range.

The service is owned by a public company that anyone can invest in. It was started in reaction to a former president being deplatformed at a period in time where the platforms were in direct contact regarding misinformation with the federal government, the prior admin in particular. I can certainly understand the concern here, but the details of how Truth came to be matter. The details of the information being shared also matter, if it is publicly available info, there is already a market for being earliest to have it.

My main point is this isn’t the president selling information. Trump Media has taken a huge risk with Truth Social, it wasn’t guaranteed to have success (it hasn’t really had much success) and started because of a lack of access to other platforms. Should they not be able to sell similar services as their competitors? Particularly if the government directed the competitors to remove Trump, was he not free to start a competing service as a civilian?

Is it early access or is it a direct integration with the platform? There is a massive difference

If truth is not allowed to offer an API service like it competitors, then it is at a disadvantage.

But is it any different than Truth existing in the first place? How exactly is this new service any more of a conflict than Truth as a business?

---

Again. - Because Trump is now an elected public official and his public pronouncements are being monetized by Truth Social. Trump owns Truth Social and he uses Truth Social as his platform for addressing the public. He now charges money for exclusive access to his pronouncements, policy decisions, opinions, views whatever it is....why should I have to pay for premium access to that when he is a sitting public official and his duty is to serve the public....the people of the United States. He should be providing that to all the people regardless....that is his duty as he is now a public servant....not those who pay him. Its an indirect form of paying for access.

The mechanics of the platform and this pricing tier is irrelevant to the discussion. It doesn't matter if Twitter or Google do the same thing. This is rife with conflict of interest. it's unprecedented but what should have happened is Trump should have been forced to divest his interests from Truth Social when he became President. It's fine for Truth Social to operate as a profit maximizing firm but Trump shouldn't be making a financial gain of it while he is the sitting President.
