Trump Media has officially launched _Truth API_, its new paid data service providing faster access to Trump's Truth Social posts
Per the press release, Truth API gives firms "a direct, licensed, real-time feed of the platform’s most market-moving Truths"
It reportedly costs as much as $100k/mo
+ + +
Setting aside just how illegal this is, anyone who buys this genuinely has zero understanding of Trump
His kink is betrayal. If you pay him for this service, he knows you're a sucker and he will absolutely punish you for it. Punishing supporters is one of the only things that gives him something approximating pleasure (see yesterday's NYT piece about what he did to Brad Karp after Karp bent the knee on behalf of Paul Weiss)
The real insiders (a rotating cast comprising his kids, cabinet members, etc) will get the real inside info while the people paying the fee will be rewarded for a few weeks/months then eventually grossly mislead
Subscribers deserve what's coming to them

@kims@mas.to Absolutely. He is a confidence man; their entire schtick is in betraying the people who trust them.

@kims@mas.to @prism@infosec.exchange I guess his republican congress friends are ok with that because they get access for free?
