Trump faces lawsuit over Truth Social's $100,000 early post access plan

1 min read

Donald Trump is facing a lawsuit challenging a Truth Social paid subscription plan that offers early access to his posts before they are made public. The service, priced at $100,000, gives subscribers advance notice of the president's statements that have historically moved financial markets.

Critics argue the arrangement raises serious ethical and legal concerns, as wealthy subscribers could gain a significant advantage in trading based on advance knowledge of presidential communications. The lawsuit questions whether the plan violates securities laws and fair-market principles.
