Trump's Truth Social $100k subscription draws Republican criticism

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) announced Truth API, a service offering investment firms real-time access to posts from top Truth Social accounts.

Reports indicate Truth Social discussed charging Wall Street firms up to $100,000 per month for quicker access to Trump's posts, with a $60,000 monthly option for three-year agreements.

Republican senators including Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski criticized the plan, calling it unethical and a form of buying access.

Critics argue early access to a sitting president's posts could influence financial markets and give wealthy traders an unfair advantage.

Senator Lisa Murkowski said selling information that can move markets raises conflicts of interest and questioned using the presidency for personal wealth.
