An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Investigate and Block Trump's Truth API Market Scheme

39 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Investigate Trump's Truth API scheme and use every tool available to shut it down. Starting this Saturday, Trump Media is selling $100,000-a-month subscriptions giving high-frequency traders millisecond-early access to Trump's Truth Social posts — posts that routinely move markets because they announce actual U.S. policy. This is the presidency being sold to the highest bidder. The experts aren't mincing words. Irene Aldridge of Able Alpha Trading said, "If this was the CEO of a public company, this would be jail time." Joe Saluzzi of Themis Trading called it "market-moving information" and was blunt about who loses: "The loser is always the retail investor." Everyday Americans trading stocks get picked clean by firms that paid for a head start on presidential announcements. This isn't a gray area. Using public office to generate private profit is corruption, full stop. If just three firms sign up, Trump Media doubles its entire annual revenue. Congress needs to hold hearings, demand White House communications about legal vetting of this service, and pursue legislation closing any loophole that lets a sitting president monetize policy announcements. The retail investors in your district are counting on you to act.
