Contracts and Disputes Could Enforce Reliability, Potentially Disciplining Trump's Output
ZayNewsFast. Clear. Brief.

Trump Media's new Truth API sells real-time, machine-readable access to President Trump's Truth Social posts, giving financial firms a speed advantage in trading. The product's reliance on precise timestamps, consistent delivery, and edit records could impose commercial constraints on Trump's communication, a concept dubbed the "leash theory. Aarhus University Professor Michael Bang Petersen noted that financial incentives can shape posting behavior, but unpredictability might be the product's appeal, as sudden posts offer traders an edge. Contracts and disputes could enforce reliability, potentially disciplining Trump's output."
