Over the past day, the former U.S. president has been involved in several key activities and announcements.

Truth Social is set to license its data services to Wall Street. According to a report, the interim CEO of the company stated that it will launch a backend interface allowing financial services firms to pay for access to real-time data from the platform.

He also suggested that broadcast licenses should be revoked for U.S. television networks that did not air his primetime address. Two of the three major broadcast networks and CNN did not carry the speech on their primary platforms. During his remarks, he stated that networks failing to broadcast the address should have their licenses suspended.

Furthermore, he renewed calls for the passage of an election reform bill. He is attempting to garner support for the stalled federal election legislation, urging the public to pressure Congress to pass it. The bill faces strong opposition in the Senate.

During a primetime wartime address, he did not provide detailed plans regarding the Iran conflict. He used the rare opportunity to speak to the nation but did not take the chance to clearly outline a strategy in response to the escalating tensions. In fact, he barely mentioned the conflict.

He cited controversial data, claiming approximately 278,000 non-citizens were registered to vote. He asserted that his administration's Department of Homeland Security identified these individuals on state voter rolls. The data he referenced comes from a program that has been shown to overstate the number of non-citizens.

He declared, "America is now the greatest country in the world!" He stated that the U.S. is currently the best nation, with record-high investment levels and the stock market performing at its peak. He also noted that U.S. inflation saw its largest drop in six years and claimed the country is safer than ever before.

Republicans are advancing a $95 billion budget proposal covering Iran war funding and election reform. Congressional Republicans continued to push forward with the spending plan to meet the administration's requests. This includes new defense funding for the Iran conflict, agricultural aid, and a comprehensive overhaul of voting rules ahead of the November midterm elections.

The administration is tightening visa rules. New regulations announced will limit the duration of stay for foreign students and other non-immigrant groups in the United States. This measure is expected to affect over 13,000 South Koreans currently residing in the U.S. under related statuses.
