Ontario Premier Doug Ford fired back at Donald Trump after Trump mocked him on Truth Social, as the U.S.-Canada tariff dispute worsens with 50% tariffs on certain Canadian goods and threats to extend to autos; Ford’s hard line mirrors a broader bilateral stalemate that could raise consumer costs and reshape North American trade.
Trump Media interim CEO Kevin McGurn defended faster access to President Trump’s Truth Social posts via Truth API, noting demand from buyers has pushed uptake into the mid-teens and that more customers have signed up since the service went live on Aug. 1 at up to $100,000 per month. Critics say the API could let firms trade on market-moving information before the public. Trump is a top shareholder in TMTG through a revocable trust.
Trump, 80, spent an insomnia-fueled hour on Truth Social, posting eight times between 12:30 a.m. and 1:20 a.m. on topics like Iran, the 2024 elections, and Western civilization; the posts were largely shared content rather than written by him, with his aide Natalie Harp (and Dan Scavino) having access and Harp often dictating messages, raising questions about sleep patterns, influence, and security-clearance issues after a Washington appearance.
Donald Trump used Truth Social to post a spree of AI-generated content, including a self-flattering image and a mock ‘The Best Press Secretary’ post, signaling he’d like to take Karoline Leavitt’s job as she steps down; the episode fits his pattern of using AI visuals to shape political narratives and accompany other topics like revived talk of the Keystone XL pipeline.
President Trump said on Truth Social that the U.S. will import up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef at about 25% below current market prices for 90 days to lower prices ahead of the midterm elections, with the White House saying talks are with foreign beef exporters and an executive order could follow; the move comes as beef prices have risen about 25% since he took office due to tariffs and supply-chain issues, drawing concern from ranchers over domestic beef production.
Natalie Harp, 35, is one of Donald Trump’s most visible and trusted aides, known for typing his Truth Social posts, carrying a portable printer to provide hard copies, and traveling closely with him; insiders describe her as a gatekeeper and 'human printer' who shapes the information Trump sees, a role she has elevated since rising from a cancer-survivor advocate to executive assistant at the White House, with Ossoff's remarks drawing renewed attention to her influence.
CNN profiles Natalie Harp, a fiercely loyal aide who is a constant presence at Trump's side—coordinating messages, printing articles, and staying close from the White House to rallies; the report recounts a 2023 incident in which she rode in an SUV trunk to accompany him to a courthouse, illustrating the extraordinary proximity she has built in his orbit, a dynamic that has drawn pushback from some aides but is defended by Trump as evidence of her commitment, even as Ossoff drew attention to her in a viral speech.
President Donald Trump exploded on Truth Social after Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream grilled his attorney general on the $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization" fund and the White House ballroom, calling Bream 'Milk Toast' and an 'enemy of MAGA' while praising MAGA and blasting Fox coverage.
Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News anchor Shannon Bream in a Truth Social post, calling her “Milktoast” after she aired months‑old White House photos and labeling Fox News Sunday as biased against MAGA; he contrasted her unfavorably with Chris Wallace in a second post of the day, as political and legal questions linger over the White House ballroom project.
Former President Donald Trump blasted Fox News host Shannon Bream on Truth Social, calling her show “beyond redemption” and accusing it of featuring negative guests and ignoring his administration’s accomplishments; the piece also notes Bream’s interview with Attorney General Todd Blanche and cites polling suggesting MAGA identification among Republicans is not universal (about 62%).
Rep. Jamie Raskin condemns a plan for Truth Social to charge up to $100,000 a month for early access to Trump’s posts, calling it a 'smash-and-grab' insider-trading scheme that could give traders a split-second edge and affect markets; the idea, discussed with Joe Rogan and reported by Reuters, raises questions about legality and market impact.
Truth Media’s Truth API, which sells investors early access to top Truth Social posts, has triggered legal and ethical concerns: a lawsuit claims the service is unconstitutional, while experts warn it could violate securities laws as the company faces financial strain and declining traffic.
Two media groups allege Truth API monetizes access to Trump's Truth Social posts by charging up to $100,000 a month, claiming it violates the First and Fifth Amendments by funneling market-moving government information to paying subscribers; the suit notes Trump has issued thousands of posts since Jan 2025 and that Truth API now serves over 10 customers, with Trump Media defending the model as a common business practice.
A federal lawsuit filed in New York accuses Donald Trump of profiting from a paid Truth API that grants six hours of exclusive early access to his Truth Social posts, arguing this violates the First Amendment (equal access to presidential remarks) and the Fifth Amendment (unreasonable government benefit restrictions). The suit seeks to halt the paid service and exclusive access deal; Trump Media says such fast-access practices are common in the industry. Plaintiffs include the Freedom of the Press Foundation and The Intercept, and the defendants include Trump’s aides; the case comes as Trump Media faces ongoing financial strain.
Two media groups filed a federal lawsuit in Manhattan against Trump Media & Technology Group over Truth API, a paid service offering early access to Trump’s Truth Social posts for $60,000–$100,000 a month. They argue the paywall effectively privatizes presidential communications and violates the First Amendment’s guarantee of equal access to government information, potentially enabling market-moving content to be sold to paying customers. Trump Media defends Truth API, noting presidential communications already reach the public across multiple platforms. The suit aims to block exclusive reliance on Truth Social for official announcements while the paid feed remains available.
