Multiple Australian outlets report that Donald Trump and his family could generate substantial revenue by selling “instant access” to his social media posts, citing a plan tied to Trump’s business interests. The articles say the approach would allow users to pay for faster or immediate access to content compared with free or delayed options. The coverage also frames the proposal as financially relevant to Trump’s company, describing the business as facing difficulties and suggesting the scheme could provide a significant lifeline.
The reports characterize the potential earnings as reaching “hundreds of millions of dollars a year,” though they do not agree on specific projections beyond that broad range. They also highlight that the plan would involve Trump family participation and monetization of social media content, an area that has previously drawn attention from regulators and critics in other contexts.
Overall, the sources present the plan as a mechanism for converting social media access into direct payments, while connecting it to the financial needs of Trump’s wider business operations. The articles focus on the scale of potential revenue and the business motivation rather than providing detailed operational terms.
