The API will deliver posts in milliseconds, with continuous coverage and an archive dating back to 2022. Kevin McGurn, interim CEO of Trump Media, described it as a 'meaningful source of revenue' but did not specify pricing details. According to CBS News and Reuters, the service targets high-frequency trading firms that prioritize rapid information access.
President Trump's Truth Social account has 12.9 million followers and is frequently used for major policy announcements, including statements on tariffs and the Iran war that have influenced financial markets. Other influential users include Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and former Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, as reported by CNBC.
The launch has raised ethical concerns. Virginia Canter of Democracy Defenders Fund told CNBC it creates a 'huge conflict of interest,' noting that President Trump is one of the largest shareholders in Truth Social's parent company. Critics argue this private channel for official communications prioritizes his financial interests over public dissemination.
