The sleazy product offering from Truth Social was a thinly veiled attempt at illegally selling access to insider information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70382\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Scheme to Monetize Insider Trading on Truth Social is Getting Ripped By Republicans<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The concept of making people pay for access to official government information that belongs to the public is profoundly corrupt. It gives the wealthy buyers market-moving data before the general public gets it. That&#8217;s the definition of insider trading. As <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-media-lawsuit-truth-social-access-wall-street-traders-7f057fd1dba31dd4e357c8bf635ee009\" target=\"_blank\">reported by the Associated Press<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The suit comes after his media company, Trump Media &#038; Technology, rolled out a new subscription service earlier this month charging Wall Street firms as much as $100,000 a month to get his posts faster so they can trade off them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;A president selling priority access to news he himself generates for the benefit of a private company he controls is so blatantly corrupt and unconstitutional that it would have been hard to even fathom just a few years ago,\u201d said Seth Stern, chief of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation, a plaintiff in the case along with news outlet The Intercept.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A comment by Truth Social tried to dismiss the complaint by claiming that selling such access is common in the media business. That&#8217;s true. However, other media companies are selling access to the work product of their own journalists. Trump is selling access to what he is doing himself. And it&#8217;s not just him. Other senior government officials are also part of the product, including Vice-President JD Vance, FBI Director Kash Patel, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy.<\/p>\n<p>What Trump is doing is analogous to a quarterback selling his game plans to gamblers so that they can place bets on the game. Except with Trump it&#8217;s not a game. It includes national security information. Wall Street brokers are more than willing to shell out for advance notice of Trump&#8217;s actions in the Strait of Hormuz. And what would stop a clandestine Iranian operative from buying the same access?<\/p>\n<p>This <em>&#8220;service&#8221;<\/em> from Truth Social seems glaringly unlawful on its face. So what would cause them to offer it? It might have something to with the fact that the company is a business basket case. It&#8217;s stock is trading in single digits, a 90% collapse from it&#8217;s high mark. It is bleeding cash and users.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/trump-media-company-reports-major-losses-visitor-decline-12057086\" target=\"_blank\">most recent quarterly report<\/a><\/strong> shows a loss of $238 million on paltry revenue of less than $2 million. What&#8217;s more, their users have declined a devastating 36% year over year. And this is the year that Trump returned to office and claims to be enjoying his best approval ratings ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE HERE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70436\" target=\"_blank\">Delusional Trump: \u2018My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been\u2019 \u2013 OK Grandpa<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit challenging Trump&#8217;s new scam is well founded, and could result in the offering being prohibited. But there would still be plenty of legally suspect activity going on with Trump&#8217;s enterprise. In fact, that&#8217;s been an ongoing feature of Trump&#8217;s business practices. What follows are some examples&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=69682\" target=\"_blank\">YOU&#8217;RE FIRED: Trump Media&#8217;s CEO, Devin Nunes, Gets Booted From the Failing Truth Social Company<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nDevin Nunes, who had no relevant business experience whatsoever, proceeded to run the sham operation into the ground.
