The Age of Big Players, $100,000 buys you a head start on Trump's mood

A new subscription offering from Trump Media, branded “Truth PSI,” claims it can deliver Donald Trump posts to subscribers by a few milliseconds ahead of the public for $100,000 per month. The article argues that this timing advantage matters because Trump’s announcements are portrayed as market-moving—citing, for example, that when he announced a tariff “pause” on April 9 of the previous year, the S&P 500 rose 9.52% and the Nasdaq jumped 12.16%. It then broadens into a critique of “Big Players,” describing how discretion and political influence can crowd out market fundamentals.
