作为美国首位亿万富翁总统的又一史无前例之举,唐纳德·特朗普可能很快将从一项与其公职相关的新业务中获利:对Truth Social平台上某些帖子的抢先预览收取费用。他陷入困境的媒体公司计划向华尔街交易员出售。
美国首位亿万富翁总统唐纳德·特朗普又一次史无前例的举动是,他可能很快将从一项与他公职相关的新业务中获利:即对提前查看其“真相社交”(Truth Social)平台上的某些帖子收取费用。他陷入困境的媒体公司计划向华尔街交易员出售机会,让他们比其他人提前几毫秒看到“最高级别”账户(可能包括他自己的账户)的帖子。这可能为他们和特朗普带来巨额财富。他的帖子常常重要到足以震动金融市场。迄今为止,总统的政策声明一直被视为某种公共财产,应免费并同时向所有人开放。白宫和特朗普的公司均未对此置评。

In 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.
