President Trump traded millions of dollars worth of technology stocks since the start of 2026, new disclosures released on Thursday show. In a report filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Trump revealed that he bought and sold shares of companies including Nvidia, Palantir and Oracle.
The disclosures came amid the Trump administration’s trip to China, where tech CEOs including Nvidia’s Jensen Huang and Apple’s Tim Cook accompanied the president. The disclosures show that Trump made more than a dozen purchases and sales of Nvidia shares from January through March.
That included a purchase listed between $500,001 and $1,000,000 in early January, a week before the administration approved sales of Nvidia artificial intelligence chips to China. Trump traded dozens of other tech companies, including Meta, Alphabet, Apple, Tesla, Uber and Amazon, as well as shares of the crypto companies Coinbase and MARA Holdings.
A spokesperson for the Trump Organization said Trump’s investments were handled “by third-party financial institutions with sole and exclusive authority over all investment decisions” and that neither the president nor his family “plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments.”

Impeachment, take #478! 🎬🎥
So did I, along with lots of other investors.
And yet the headline states that TRUMP made the trades. I can't hate these people enough.
Unlike Congress who front runs their own legislation.
Those lying bastards do it again.
The dummies on the left will believe every word.
Misleading headline.

One word.
Pelosi.
Anyone crying about this should have that word slapped in their faces.
I have no issue with a blind trust buying investments while people are in office. As long…as it is truly blind.
I do think the whole Trump Coin stuff that happened right before the inauguration was kind of sketchy. It certainly made Baron incredibly wealthy outside of his family money. Eric is a quintessential “Crypto Bro.”
All of it will be used to make it look like he is inside trading. Anyone with sense knows it’s not. But it appears so few people have sense these days.
This is considerably less than the estimated $7 million that NJ governor Mikie Sherrill made in stock trades as a congresswoman. And yet, the typical media types cared not a whit about that.
I hope he made 830 million in case he has to pay 83 of it the whacked out psycho who the dems hired to sue him.
Very misleading headline, and article.
What was your point in posting it? Trying to make the President look bad, as usual?
I think the issue is ….. the same folks trying to twist these trades into something nefarious are “guilty” of the same behavior. The innuendo is all they have- they do not want to open this pandoras box imho.
Here is the question that is not being asked or being offered: Is there an IPS or Investment Policy Statement and were these transactions in accordance with that policy? For example, the IPS might state that a certain percentage should be allocated to Tech Stocks at all times. This would mean that large changes in those values relative to the other investments would trigger a transaction.
A portfolio this type and size should have such a policy.
“Impeachment, take #478!”
They’ll find something to throw into the mix anyway. This is just one possibility.
“A spokesperson for the Trump Organization”
He no longer controls or receives funds from any of his previous outlets. As president, he is required to turn all his business over to someone else. He did that. A lot of it to his family.

I love how they insinuate that Trump is trading before decision making, therefore unethical.
Probably 99% of people with 401k’s are benefitting in exactly the same way with these companies. If you have a fund manager that is moving assets around, as they should, then anyone would be guilty of “unethical” behavior if serving in office.
The POTUS is no different. HE HIMSELF is not making trades, he probably has a team of investors making trades on his behalf. Unless they have some proof of insider trading it’s all just TDS.
No. Trump did not place his business holdings in a blind trust.
Trump moved his business holdings into a revocable trust managed by his sons, Donald Jr., Eric, and CFO Allen Weisselberg.
Because the trust was revocable, Trump retained financial interest and could know about his holdings, unlike a traditional blind trust.
