Trump media company announces a massive loss and new turnaround effortThe president’s media company posted a massive loss in the latest quarter and plans to ditch new business lines and refocus as a forum for users to post their views. The company behind the Truth Social platform said Monday that it lost $238 million in the three months through June as it branched into businesses unrelated to media, including crypto. That was more than 10 times the loss from a year earlier. The new chief executive, Kevin McGurn, said a yearlong effort to expand by branching into several new industries including online betting and crypto would now be largely abandoned as he refocuses the business on its social media mission.

Paying for early access to Trump's Truth Social could raise big money - and major ethical issuesIn yet another unprecedented move by America's first billionaire president, Donald Trump may soon be profiting from a new line of business tied to his office: charging access for a first peek at certain posts on his Truth Social platform. His struggling media company plans to sell Wall Street traders the chance to see posts from “highest-ranking” accounts — including possibly his own — milliseconds before others. That could mean big money for them, and Trump. His posts are often important enough to rattle financial markets. Until this moment, presidential policy announcements were considered sort of public property that should be free and available to all at the same time. The White House and Trump's companies all had no comment.
