Trump Claims Electoral Vulnerabilities in Pre-Midterm Address

Trump delivered a primetime televised address accusing China of election meddling and claiming "shocking vulnerabilities" in the US electoral system, moves widely read as an effort to pre-emptively undermine the upcoming midterm polls. Separately, his media company announced plans to sell high-speed priority access to Truth Social posts — potentially including his own — to Wall Street trading firms, drawing immediate accusations of corruption. Critics warn the arrangement could allow institutions to profit from market-moving presidential statements by receiving them milliseconds before the public.
