President Trump’s investment accounts continued to actively trade individual stocks in June, revealing they made more than 1,000 transactions, according to his latest government disclosure.
The White House said Saturday that the president has no role in the trading, which it said is handled by independent managers that use computer models that automatically replicate stock indexes.
There were more than 550 purchases and more than 450 sales revealed in the latest filing released Saturday. Among the largest stock trades were purchases of at least $1 million worth of each Berkshire Hathaway, Visa and Mastercard. These are all companies that the Trump accounts have previously traded.
Those purchases were made on June 18, the same day his accounts sold more than $1 million worth of Meta Platforms and Motorola. That was a day after the president signed an interim peace deal in Versailles, France, to end the conflict with Iran.
Trump’s accounts have been active buyers and sellers of individual stocks since he returned to the White House, raising concerns about the potential for conflicts of interest. He made big bets on tech stocks in the first quarter, though some of his biggest investments in June were financial institutions.
Earlier this year, a 900-page filing revealed the accounts had made more than 21,000 trades last year. Trump made more than $2 billion in 2025, largely from his investments in crypto ventures. The investment accounts are in a revocable trust overseen by Donald Trump Jr.
“Neither President Trump nor any member of his family has any ability to direct, influence, or provide input regarding how the portfolio is invested or when investments are bought or sold,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle said in an email. “All investment decisions are made entirely by independent managers.”

Oh they’ve got him now! Financial managers for his blind trust made trades! Impeach! 25th amendment! Breeeee!
(Sarcasm of course)
And what the hell has happened to the WSJ? Might as well merge with the NY Times at this rate.
Nancy Pelosi should run Pres. Trump’s blind trusts…..
He made 1000 moves on the stock market and didn’t get a speeding ticket?
“...the president has no role in the trading...”

Which means the headline up above is bullcrap.
Globalist Rupert Murdoch purchasing the WSJ is what happened.
It was all downhill from that point.

Great question. I remember reading the WSJ back in the day. They’d have three interesting and nonpolitical stories on the front page. One in the left column, one in the right column, and one in the middle.
I particularly enjoyed the middle column stories. They were usually quirky - fun and different.
Now as you mentioned, I might as well be reading the New York Times.
No thanks.
Every single leftoid article on his and his family finances always leave out these are blind trusts or similar. Every one.
