Trump Media to sell fast feed of 'market-moving' posts to Wall Street (www.bbc.com)

I think this article and headline does a poor job of explaining the wider context around this one.

It is likely to be aimed at financial traders who want to see market-moving news fast. Trump’s social media posts often cause sudden swings in global markets, especially when he writes about trade and tariffs.

For firms, a delay of even seconds can be costly. Until now, banks and traders had to monitor the app manually. The new system will send posts directly to paying clients.

Is this not just straight up blatantly illegal on the face of it?

Am I taking crazy pills or is this timeline really so cursed?

I'm not sure since they'd just be getting the news as soon as posted rather than ahead of time which would be insider trading

But of course insiders already get it before it's posted I'm pretty sure

Not even a drop in the ocean of blatantly illegal things by this administration.
