A pair of new reports released this week by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics disclosed thousands of stock transactions made by President Donald Trump in the first three months of 2026. Many of the equities listed in the report are from companies subject to close regulation by the Trump administration.

The filings, which do not make clear which accounts or personnel handled the trades, include more than 3,700 transactions featuring purchases from companies like Meta, Proctor & Gamble, Boeing, and Adobe. The value of the individual transactions is listed in wide ranges, totaling at least $220 million up to $750 million cumulatively.

While Trump previously had invested heavily in bonds and index funds — buying more than $51 million in bonds in March, according to previous OGE reports — the disclosures released Thursday show the president has shifted to purchasing individual companies’ stocks.

    Made by his name? I don’t think names can conduct finance, I think maybe it was the guy attached to the name

      I don’t think names can conduct finance

      They certainly can, if you give your financial advisor permission to trade in your name… or anybody with power of attorney.

      I don’t doubt that some of it was directed by Trump, but he isn’t creating the trades with the broker.
