Trump Media and Technology Group is reportedly weighing a paid “Truth API” that would give banks and traders privileged access to Trump’s Truth Social posts, with a top tier of about $100,000 per month (and a $60,000 lower tier discussed for a three‑year plan); critics say monetizing presidential information undermines transparency and democracy, while supporters cite monetization of a media platform.
