Washington — President Trump's investment accounts traded between $212 million and $695 million in stocks and other securities over the first three months of the year — an unprecedented sum for a sitting president.
CBS News is presenting the data from the president's most recent financial disclosure in a new interactive dashboard here. It shows that the president's investment accounts made 2,346 purchases and 1,296 sales between Jan. 6 and March 30, 2026. The figures for individual transactions were presented in a range, which is reflected in the wide disparity between the minimum and maximum values of the trades overall.
The sheer volume of the trades, and the timing of certain transactions, has prompted ethics experts and Democrats in Congress to criticize the president for maintaining an active portfolio. Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has called for an investigation into "potential insider trading." One investment professional, who reviewed the transactions at CBS News' request, said the trades likely reflect a strategy by Mr. Trump's money managers to reduce his tax bill. Another said he had "never seen a strategy out there that would warrant that amount of trading."
The Trump Organization, meanwhile, said neither the president nor his family have any influence over his portfolio, which it said is managed by "independent third-party investment managers."
CBS News extracted and organized the data from the scanned disclosure form, known as an OGE Form 278-T, to produce the fullest picture yet of the thousands of trades on the president's behalf.
Federal officials, including the president, are required under the law to report any securities transactions worth more than $1,000 within 45 days to the Office of Government Ethics, which publishes the reports.

Did he make any coin?
That would be his son trading for him
The important question is — were any insider trading laws broken? If not, who cares?
Not even his son.
I believe the money is in a blind trust.
Gee shocked they buried that in the article. More shocked they even included it - even though they cast it as a “said.”
The Trump Organization, meanwhile, said neither the president nor his family have any influence over his portfolio, which it said is managed by “independent third-party investment managers.”
It actually took five SeeBS morons to write this SEEBS crap?
who cares, other than pocahontas and her ilk ...
Quite annoying that See-BS proclaims that PDJT is doing all these trades implying that insider trading may be involved. In fact PDJT is very likely only superficially aware of this activity as it is being done by investment folks that he is paying.
We cannot hate the leftist press enough.
Has CBS or any other ‘major’ news outlet investigated how Nancy Pelosi got so incredibly wealthy? Didn’t think so.
The idea that Trump is purposefully profiting from his presidency isn't new, it's always been a mantra of the left since he came down the escalator. They've said it so many times, the average low IQ voter actually believes it's true.
Simple projection, because that's what the left does when they can. This is being reported to reinforce the idea for the minion leftists. There is zero evidence for this. But they don't care.
He already had money. Different from the likes of Pelosi and Biden who became millionaires after they were in office.
My first thought, then there is that Somali idiot too
I’m to understand that the only 2 Presidents to not use a blind trust in recent history are Obama and Trump.
Gee, I wonder why there are no reports on Pelosi’s investment portfolio.....
If a broker did that to my account, I’d be complaining about churning.
He probably made some money off the ‘peace deal’ announced on Thursday that fell apart during the holiday weekend. Big money guys can trade while the exchanges are closed; ordinary investors have to wait until Monday to trade most stocks.
“even though they cast it as a ‘said.’”
Exactly. If this were an article about Clinton, Obama, or Biden, the sentence would have been stated as fact.
