This May Be the Most Corrupt Thing a President Has Ever Done

Truth Social is now selling Wall Street traders early access to Trump’s “market-moving” social media posts for up to $100,000 a month. This may be the most corrupt thing any president has ever done.

Earlier this month, Trump Media & Technology Group (which Trump claims is totally independent from himself, of course) announced a new product called Truth API, a paid data feed that gives Wall Street traders early access to posts from Truth Social’s “market-moving” information. In other words, you can now pay for faster access to the president on his own social media app, for his own benefit.

The cost? Just upwards of $100,000 per month.

Trump’s posts on Truth Social are presidential statements. Truth Social is the social media platform that he started when he was kicked off Twitter (after inciting a riot and trying to overturn an election). It’s where he announces the latest ending of the war in Iran, before announcing the war is back on, and then off, and then on (you get the idea). Truth Social is where Trump endorses allies, punishes enemies, introduces legislation, pressures senators to vote for legislation or else, and literally everything else that has major implications for Americans’ financial, physical, and social well-being.

Today, the big banks, trading firms, and billionaires can now buy early access to those words, guaranteeing that they will always be one step ahead of you.

Translation: Trump’s move quite literally guarantees that you can never catch up, and you can forget about getting ahead. The rich will get richer, and the rest of us will all get poorer.

The presidency is supposed to be a public institution. The president’s words may be consequential, but they aren’t supposed to be a premium service available to whomever can afford the subscription. The presidency belongs to every American, and yet Trump is now auctioning it off to the highest bidders.

It’s hardly the only example.

We all already know the big ones: Trump’s $1.6 billion ballroom, his $30 million reflecting pool (that’s currently sitting empty), his $400 million Qatari jet (that’s apparently only good for sitting on the tarmac, given its lack of defensive capabilities), or the at-least-$100 million ‘Arc de Trump.’

Now, Trump has reduced the presidency to nothing more than a glorified Cameo service.

On Tuesday, Trump “plugged” Scotts Miracle-Gro from the Oval Office, praising the company’s “great grass” and highlighting the work it had done for the White House.

Their stock price soared immediately after.

This all seems well and good until you realize that, in effect, Trump had been pimped out.

You see, Scotts Miracle-Gro gave more than $500,000 to Trump’s Super PAC in 2024. To return the favor, Trump signed an executive order in February 2026 invoking the Defense Production Act to bolster domestic production of glyphosate-based herbicides (which are known to cause cancer, by the way), describing the chemicals as important to America’s agricultural strength and national security.

After Trump destroyed the South Lawn for his UFC boxing ring, Scotts contributed $1 million to help restore the grass. Definitely no strings attached, because corporations only ever do things out of the goodness of their hearts, right?

Was Trump’s executive order a reward for Scotts’ donations? We don’t know. All we know for certain is that Trump has always been in it for himself, loves to make a quick buck, and doesn’t care who gets hurt as long as he wins. You can draw your own conclusions from there.

The obliteration of the line between Trump’s personal enrichment and public office on Truth Social is also hardly a new development.

To give just a few examples of Trump profiting off of his office:

• Trump purchased $700,000 worth of Nvidia stock days before announcing the company would invest $500 billion in A.I.

• Trump purchased $4,000,000 worth of Tesla stock just before announcing federal subsidies for Tesla would be continued.

• Trump purchased a combined total of as much as $1,160,000 worth of Palantir stock just before publicly praising their weapons technology.

• Trump purchased at least $600,000 worth of stock in Boeing, RTX, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin just before posting a video praising the F-22 Raptor (made newly relevant because of Trump’s war of choice in Iran).

Trump has turned the presidency of the United States into a for-profit personal venture where he will leverage the Oval Office to profit off of insider information, reward allies, and say whatever for whomever is willing to give him money.

In 2026, Trump has effectively put the presidency behind its own paywall. The office meant to serve you is occupied by someone solely concerned with serving himself.

What Trump has done is more than a “conflict of interest.” It is the corruption of the very concept of public office. The presidency is supposed to be the ultimate public trust. Under Trump, it’s become the ultimate private asset.

He has forsaken his oath to the Constitution, to the country, and most importantly, to you. By every measure, Trump’s profiteering off of the presidency is the most corrupt thing any president has done.

When Trump said his presidency was going to be historic, little did America know he meant historically corrupt.

But while Trump has bet on his billionaire buddies, we’re betting on you. Go vote to Make America, well, America Again.
