Then and now: Trump family selling paid early access to presidential social media posts
Compiled Aug 3
A Trump family company has begun selling subscribers fast access to President Donald Trump's social media posts, allowing paying users to see his announcements before the general public. The arrangement raises concern that investors could use advance knowledge of policy-related posts to trade ahead of market-moving news. The scheme has drawn scrutiny given that Trump's posts have previously triggered significant moves in financial markets, including currency and commodity prices. The story is developing as the White House has not moved to separate the commercial product from official presidential communications.
