Trump venderá sus mensajes en redes a los inversores de Wall Street
Los operadores dispondrán información antes de que se publique para especular
Pagar 100.000 dólares cada mes para conocer con antelación los mensajes de Donald Trump en las redes sociales puede proporcionar a los inversores una información muy valiosa sobre cómo van a evolucionar los mercados en los instantes posteriores. Sobre este mecanismo, que bordea una dudosa práctica de acceso a información privilegiada, el presidente de Estados Unidos aspira a monetizar todavía más su cargo presidencial.
Aprovechando su posición privilegiada en la Casa Blanca, el magnate se presenta ahora como el oráculo de Wall Street. Bajo la forma de una suscripción premium, igual que muchas otras redes sociales, Donald Trump pondrá a la venta la información que él mismo produce en la red Truth Social, con la finalidad de impulsar ganancias especulativas. La oferta arranca el 1 de agosto. “Los mercados ya se mueven en función de las publicaciones en Truth Social”, afirmó Kevin McGurn, director general interino de Trump Media and Technology Group.
Trump Media precisó que esta interfaz automatizada (API) proporcionaría “un acceso autorizado y en tiempo real a las publicaciones de las cuentas importantes de Truth Social”. No solo se venderían los mensajes de Trump, sino también de otros miembros de su familia. Truth Social fue fundada por el magnate después de que fue expulsado de la plataforma Twitter (hoy X). Las tarifas, no confirmadas todavía, podrían adaptarse según los clientes y oscilarían entre 60.000 y 100.000 dólares cada mes.
Para un grupo de inversores, los que apuestan a corto plazo, saber segundos antes qué es lo que va a publicar el presidente puede proporcionarles una gran ventaja. Baste pensar el impacto que generó el anuncio de la suspensión de los aranceles recíprocos en abril del 2025 en los mercados. Unos días después de anunciarlos, Trump dio marcha atrás al suspender los aranceles durante 90 días con un anuncio en Truth Social, escribiendo: “¡ESTE ES UN GRAN MOMENTO PARA COMPRAR!”. Las acciones se dispararon un 9,5% ese día, añadiendo 4 billones de dólares a la riqueza de los inversores según el índice S&P 500. El conflicto de intereses de Donald Trump, 13 millones de seguidores, se hace cada vez más grande. La empresa propietaria de Truth, Trump Media and Technology Group, está en manos del mismo presidente. Que es la misma persona que postea.
Elisabeth Warren, la veterana senadora demócrata, dijo que “es un plan escandaloso para lucrarse con la presidencia y enriquecer a Wall Street mientras no hace nada para ayudar a los ciudadanos norteamericanos”. “Es odioso, vender acceso al mejor postor en Wall Street”, dijo Dylan Hedler-Gaudette, experto en normas federales de ética de la organización Project on Government Oversight. “Es otra muestra más de corrupción descarada”, opina Kathleen Clark, de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Washington y experta en normas de ética gubernamental. “Trump puede llenarse los bolsillos vendiendo acceso a información”.
El magnate ganó al menos 1.200 millones de dólares gracias a sus actividades en criptomonedas en 2025, según documentos hechos públicos el pasado mes de junio. |

I was amongst the initial promoters of the ICC, but as far as I remember the USA did not ratify the ICC treaty. Delegates to UN meetings enjoy diplomatic immunity, and in the USA that is a federal, not state or city matter.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said his administration was still discussing whether to arrest the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, if he comes to New York City as expected for the U.N. General Assembly in September.
“I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mr. Mamdani told Lulu Garcia-Navarro this week on “The Interview,” a New York Times show, referring to the home of the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.
“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,” Mr. Mamdani added. “And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”
The mayor said it was unclear to him whether he has the legal authority to order the Police Department, which he oversees, to detain a foreign leader like Mr. Netanyahu. He said he was in “an active conversation” with the city’s Law Department about the matter.
“Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that’s what we will do, but we won’t be writing our own laws to that end,” Mr. Mamdani added.

US forces began launching new air strikes against Iran at 6pm ET at US President Donald Trump’s direction, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM).
Earlier, CENTCOM said two US service members were killed in Jordan yesterday as “partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks” with another service member “missing in action”. |

Furthermore, macro agencies like the EIA and IEA have repeatedly signaled a projected structural oversupply of global crude moving into the later half of the year. |

as expected... bridges.. hospitals...etc...
‘The criminal U.S. regime, once again, in the midst of negotiations and the illusion of Iran's weakening, officially resumed the war that it had never truly ended.
After several days of fighting against our Armed Forces and receiving crushing responses to Trump’s aggressions, and realizing that the Iranian Armed Forces had become much stronger than the first day of the war, instead of honorably accepting defeat and admitting to his repeated miscalculations, he took a new approach by fleeing the battlefield and attempted to hide his defeat in the military confrontation by committing war crimes.
The U.S. tried to maintain its position by carrying out destructive attacks on hospitals, bridges, railways, airports, ports, telecommunications centers, and so on, killing civilians, instead of fighting on the battlefield like real men.
Since there is no international institution to prevent these barbarities of the U.S. military, there is no other way than to implement the Quranic command:
‘So whoever attacks you, attack him in the same way as he attacked you’ (Holy Quran 2:194)
Therefore, it is appropriate for the countries hosting the aggressor U.S. military, who have made their territory available to the U.S. to attack Iran, to be prepared to receive a corresponding response and activate their civil defense units to protect the lives of citizens and keep them away from possible targets.
However, in order to give the American enemy a chance to change their cowardly approach, last night we decided to choose military targets for the time being.‘

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has released a written statement saying the US’s repeated breaches of agreements with Iran show that the US president’s signature is “worthless and invalid”.
The statement was released by Iran’s IRIB broadcaster. |

Thousands Of Trucks Haul Iraq’s Oil Through Syria In Sign Of Hormuz Legacy
Bloomberg) -- Iraq is using a vast fleet of trucks to carry fuel oil through Syria and reroute flows away from the Strait of Hormuz, rapidly transforming its neighbor into the Middle East's top export hub.
In just months, Syria has gone from shipping none of the fuel to making up more than a quarter of Middle Eastern volumes. The supplies are arriving on thousands of trucks that can take about four days to reach Syria's Mediterranean ports, and highlight how the Iran war is reshaping the region's energy flows.
Persian Gulf countries have been looking at how to reduce their reliance on Hormuz for exports, including through existing or new pipelines and expanding infrastructure at ports that sit outside the waterway. A fresh flare up in hostilities in the region is affecting the movement of fuel cargoes, further underlining the importance of alternative routes. The strait normally accounts for about a fifth of the world's oil supply.
The sharp increase also underscores efforts to bring Syria into the global economy, after the US lifted years of sanctions and supported the country's turnaround. The nation is increasingly seen as a gateway for energy flows from Iraq, including plans for crude oil pipelines, so as to weaken Iran's leverage over the crucial waterway.

carib... i read DT made more money last year than in every other year of his life.... how can that be? CFK is in house arrest for the same... will DT and his family be too?
I do not think there is much difference in the substance and in the outcome between the US and the Chinese system.
In Chine there is only one party machinery selecting the president... and they save the whole primaries farce.
In the US they have two party machineries, then they have the primaries farce and finally the election where americans have to choose between Republicrats or Democans.
Once in government they both do the same... overspend... overborrow.. overprint... enrich wall street.. their friends and families...launch unnecessary wars (most of them to do Israel's bidding) kill innocent civilians and destroy infrastructure.
In the process a lot of money is spent unnecessarily.. and a lot of pockets are filled... and that is the only real reason why the process in the US takes place... to enrich the well connected.
