特朗普旗下的Trump Media推出了名为Truth API的付费数据服务，允许客户以最高每月10万美元的价格提前获取Truth Social平台上的帖子[1]。由于特朗普是该平台最大使用者和最大股东，此举迅速引发关于利用总统身份进行市场操纵和内幕交易的质疑[1]。民主党议员Adam Schiff和Elizabeth Warren在周二致函美国证券交易委员会主席Paul Atkins，要求对Truth API的合法性展开调查[1]。
特朗普在Truth Social上的账户拥有1300万粉丝，其发布内容的市场影响力使这项服务更显敏感[1]。Truth API推出前一天（周五），Trump Media股价上涨5.5%至10.39美元[1]。然而自特朗普总统就职以来，该股已下跌超过70%，抹去约60亿美元的股东价值[1]。根据披露信息，特朗普去年从相关公司获得超过10亿美元收入[1]。
Trump Media and Technology Group has launched Truth API, a paid data service that allows clients to gain early access to posts on Truth Social at subscription rates reaching up to $100,000 per month [1]. The service has drawn sharp criticism from Democratic lawmakers, who argue it represents a misuse of presidential authority for market manipulation and insider trading, given that Trump is both the platform's largest user and principal shareholder [1].
Democratic senators Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins on Tuesday requesting an investigation into the legality of the arrangement [1]. Trump Media's stock price rose 5.5 percent to $10.39 on Friday, the day before Truth API's rollout [1]. Since Trump's presidential inauguration, the company's shares have declined more than 70 percent, erasing approximately $6 billion in shareholder value [1]. Trump's account on the platform has amassed 13 million followers [1].
