0:03

uh basically early access to an API of

0:06

President Trump's marketmoving truth

0:08

social posts they've had and I quote

0:11

more than 10 signups

0:14

most of those have been high frequency

0:16

trading firms.

0:17

>> Yeah.

0:17

>> And look if you're Jane Street or you're

0:19

two sigma or you're dee Shaw fine you

0:22

you want millisecond access to a post

0:25

about Intel that's going to pop the

0:26

stock or send it down by 5%. Sure. But

0:29

this is $60,000 to $100,000.

0:31

>> I mean, if these firms all of a sudden

0:33

start generating gigantic returns

0:34

because they have this early access,

0:36

then you know the investors will vote

0:38

with their wallet and they'll follow it

0:39

and they'll say, "Okay, I guess there's

0:40

some real value here." But unless they

0:42

get to that point, right? It's just one

0:44

of those things. You've got to prove it

0:46

with the math as far as we go to to get

0:48

us interested in something like that, I

0:50

think I'll pass and we'll just look at

0:51

balance sheets the way we typically do.

0:53

>> Oh, fair play. But you it's the

0:55

president has regardless of who it is

0:58

has always been able to move markets.

0:59

That's that's a truism of the

1:00

presidency.

1:01

>> President Trump seems to treat it as a

1:04

feature, not a bug. And I I wonder what

1:07

that does to the market when you have

1:08

someone in such a powerful position

1:11

willing to step in and especially

1:13

someone who we know indexes a lot of how

1:15

he thinks about his own performance to

1:17

the stock market. What does that do when

1:20

he's not only willing to step in, but

1:21

now selling a little bit of a head-time

1:23

access to a certain class of investor?

1:25

When he's going to come out and say, "I

1:27

love Intel. This is a great investment."

1:29

Yeah. I mean, at least it's public. At

1:30

least you know that it's happening, you

1:32

know? And again, I would just go back to

1:33

that Pelosi ETF where she just traded on

1:35

stuff and didn't really share the

1:36

information. So, it it's just simply how

1:38

politics are right now. It's in your

1:40

face. It's loud. It's public, but at

1:42

least you're going to hear about it and

1:44

know that. and and you can obviously

1:45

assume that he's going to be propping up

1:47

US stocks and the US stock market

1:49

because that's what he's all about.

Interactive Summary

Ask follow-up questions or revisit key timestamps.

Truth Social has launched an API providing early access to President Trump's market-moving posts, primarily attracting high-frequency trading firms at a cost of $60,000 to $100,000. While some are skeptical about its value without proven gigantic returns, the discussion highlights how a president's ability to move markets, a historical truism, is being leveraged by Trump as a deliberate feature, not a bug. Concerns are raised about a powerful figure selling early access to market-influencing information, especially given Trump's focus on the stock market as a measure of his performance. However, one perspective suggests that at least this method of early access is public and transparent, unlike undisclosed insider trading by politicians.
