Donald Trump’s media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), plans to introduce Truth PSI, a service charging for priority access to Truth Social posts, including potentially those from Donald Trump himself. This move would allow financial institutions to receive news first from top contributors on the platform, enabling them to profit from subsequent market movements.

Critics denounce the plan as “brazen corruption,” arguing it exploits the presidency for financial gain. Kathleen Clark, an expert in government conflict of interest, stated, “He’s selling expedited, privileged access to information about what he is doing as president.” While followers can already opt for push notifications, Truth PSI offers a paid, faster route to information.

TMTG, trading under the ticker symbol “DJT”, has seen its stock price fluctuate significantly. The company aims to monetize its assets, with new CEO Kevin Mc Gurn calling Truth PSI a strategy to generate “meaningful, ongoing revenue.” The service is slated to launch next month, with initial customers already signed up. The company declined to comment on specific details regarding Trump's posts being included.
