Truth Social Plans to Sell Priority Access to Trump’s Posts

HeadlineJul 17, 2026

President Trump’s company Truth Social has announced plans to charge for special high-speed access to Trump’s social media posts, including statements on national security and financial topics. In response Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal wrote, “The President’s social media posts — covering war & peace & government regulations — move markets. Truth Social selling preferential access is yet another example of flagrant corruption, trading access to the White House for Trump’s self-enrichment.”
