Trump posts 100-119 times on Truth Social in weeklong window
Donald Trump # Truth Social posts July 14 - July 21, 2026?
Polymarket prices this 120-139 at 38%.
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social between 100 and 119 times during the July 14-21 tracking window, landing one band below the most-traded outcome. The period coincided with a flurry of reporting about Trump Media exploring plans to charge trading firms for high-speed access to his posts, which outlets including Reuters, The Washington Post, and CNN framed as potentially market-moving given Trump's history of promoting companies on the platform. Fortune noted the monetization push came as Trump Media's stock had plummeted roughly 70 percent since the election. The crowd had favored a higher band, with closing odds on 120-139 sitting at 38% — a narrow front-runner that ultimately missed as the final count came in just below that threshold.
Background
The tracking window opened as Trump Media reportedly explored selling tiered access to Trump's Truth Social posts, a move multiple outlets said could give trading firms milliseconds of lead time on posts affecting national security and financial markets. The Washington Post and Reuters reported the plan would let investors pay for fastest access. CNN separately reported that Trump had promoted companies on Truth Social days after buying their stocks. CNBC coverage noted Trump's commentary on Burnham taking helm of what he called a poverty-stricken disaster. The convergence of monetization reporting and active posting made the weekly count a watched metric.
