A hidden clue in Trump’s $100,000-a-month post-access price tag

by · The Washington Times

A single pricing detail in Trump Media’s new subscription service may reveal something the company isn’t saying out loud: it doesn’t expect President Trump’s posts to move markets forever.

Trump Media & Technology Group launched Truth API on Saturday, charging Wall Street traders up to $100,000 a month for early access to posts from Truth Social’s top accounts, including Mr. Trump’s. Firms that sign three-year contracts get a discount, paying just $60,000 a month instead.

That gap in pricing suggests Trump Media expects Mr. Trump’s market-moving relevance to fade once he leaves office.

Kevin McGurn, the company’s interim CEO, said the service gives firms “a direct, licensed, real-time feed of the platform’s most market-moving Truths” as part of an effort to build a steady, high-margin revenue source. Several firms have already signed up, the company said.

The stakes for Trump Media are high. The company’s stock has fallen 75% since Mr. Trump took office, and it continues to report hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. Even a handful of subscribers, the company suggested, could meaningfully boost revenue.

Democratic lawmakers say the arrangement itself is the bigger problem. Sen. Mark R. Warner of Virginia warned it undermines market integrity, and Rep. Jamie Raskin has opened an investigation into the service.

Trump Media has dismissed the criticism, saying critics fail to grasp the difference between public and nonpublic information.
