Ripley, you are not up with the Donald ...
President Donald Trump disclosed a staggering flurry of over 3,700 stock trades during the first three months of the year, spanning tens of millions of dollars in cumulative value. This unprecedented level of active trading by a sitting president, which averages more than 40 trades per day, has raised ethics (what?!) concerns regarding his portfolio holdings and market-moving policy decisions
Nvidia and Tech Stocks: The portfolio scooped up between $1 million and $5 million in Nvidia shares. The timing of these transactions sparked controversy, as the purchases occurred in close proximity to Commerce Department approvals for chip sales to China and a major processing deal with Meta.
Iran War Dip: Filings indicate that his trust heavily purchased the stock market dip caused by the outbreak of the Iran war, buying into energy and defense stocks like Phillips 66, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Lockheed Martin.
Defense Contracts: Purchases were also made in military contractors like Palantir, which holds substantial federal AI and defense contracts.
Every recent U.S. president prior to Trump either divested individual stocks, put assets into broadly diversified mutual funds, or established formal blind trusts before taking office
If its good enough for the King, then why not the plebs ... You can imagine the shenanikans going on eh?
Everyone for him or herself, as the ship sinks
