Bill Gates: ""Why would you reward those who are already doing well when we should do more for…"

Trump Media & Technology Group, which runs Truth Social, plans to sell a direct data feed to paying clients—allowing traders and institutions to receive President Trump’s posts in milliseconds for fees reportedly as high as $100,000 per month. The product, called Truth API, is set to launch in August 2026 and has already signed up customers. Several Republican lawmakers, including Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Senator Susan Collins of Maine, have criticized the arrangement, questioning the propriety of offering privileged access to market-moving information. Cassidy remarked that struggling families would wonder why those already successful should be rewarded. Democratic Senator Mark Warner also warned that the initiative risks market integrity and public trust. Trump Media defended the program as a legitimate business product, accusing critics of anti‑free‑market pressure.
