US President Donald Trump knows the world hangs on his every word.

The social media posts of the world’s most powerful man went on sale on Saturday, when his Truth Social business began offering sneak peeks of them to Wall Street traders willing to pay up.

The move raises the prospect of big profits for Trump’s company and big questions about insider trading and using public office for private gain.

Similar fast speed feeds are sold by other social media firms and media providers, but Truth Social does not just distribute the news; it makes it, regularly rattling markets as Trump posts policy changes on everything from war to central bank leadership to tariffs.

Useful context, not penalties

Attributed claims 1
Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

“If this was the CEO of a public company, this would be jail time,” said Irene Aldridge, head of Able Alpha Trading, which does not plan to buy the service. “We have a president of the United States who has the front seat to all the action, who makes all the decisions, and he’s disclosing this ahead of time to a select group.”
Uncertainty qualifiers 1
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

That company, Trump Media & Technology, issued a statement blasting Democratic critics for mischaracterising the service “out of ideological opposition to free markets or a failure to grasp the distinction between public and non-public information – or, quite possibly, both”.
