An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Investigate and Prosecute Presidential Insider Trading via Truth Social

57 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

You need to open an investigation into Truth Social selling early access to presidential posts to stock trading algorithms. If accurate, this is textbook insider trading — a sitting president monetizing non-public information so that paying subscribers can front-run markets before the rest of the country even sees the news. That is corruption, full stop. Federal securities law prohibits trading on material non-public information. A president selling advance access to his own statements — statements that move markets — fits that definition. The fact that it's being done through a social media platform doesn't make it legal. It makes it novel, and it demands a legislative and prosecutorial response now, before this becomes normalized. I want you to call for a formal investigation, push for referral to the SEC and DOJ, and co-sponsor or draft legislation that explicitly closes this loophole. No one holding public office should be allowed to profit by selling information that belongs to the American people the moment it's spoken.
