Trump’s Truth Social API Is a Blatantly Corrupt Favor to Wall Street
Truth Social, owned by President Donald Trump, sells a $100,000/month API providing Wall Street with expedited access to presidential and government statements that can influence financial markets. This has been criticized as corruption by Senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren and the Department of Justice, which also seeks to challenge the Presidential Records Act. Trump owns a 41% stake in Truth Social’s parent company.
