Following his inauguration for a second term, Donald Trump has disclosed investments exceeding $100 million in different types of bonds, including corporate and municipal options. According to the recent filings from the US Office of Government Ethics, he completed over 600 financial transactions starting from January 21, highlighting a broad array of purchases without specific amounts for each.
Among the bonds acquired, Trump has invested in prominent banks like Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo, as well as major corporations such as Meta, Qualcomm, Home Depot, T-Mobile USA, and UnitedHealth Group. Additionally, he has purchased bonds issued by various governmental entities, including cities, states, counties, and even gas districts, which may stand to gain from potential policy changes initiated during his presidency.
Despite placing his business interests into a trust managed by his children, Trump continues to reap significant income from multiple sources. His financial disclosures for 2024 revealed earnings surpassing $600 million, stemming from investments in cryptocurrency, golf courses, and numerous other enterprises. This arrangement has led to allegations concerning conflicts of interest, as his reported assets reportedly total at least $1.6 billion, with his golf resorts in Florida generating considerable income in recent years.

How can he prioritize the economy when he's evidently invested in his own fortune?

He’s supposed to be in public service, not cashing in on it! This is a total hypocrite move.

Investing in major corporations only helps strengthen the economy. It’s a smart move, honestly.

With so many transactions, it's clear he's prioritizing profit over the people. We need transparency!

I’m disgusted that he’s buying bonds from companies that could directly benefit from his policy changes.
