  • Trump's Securities Trading Records Exposed, Invests in Nvidia and Apple

    On May 15, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics released two new financial disclosure documents on Thursday, revealing that Trump disclosed large-scale financial transactions worth at least $220 million earlier this year, involving securities from several major U.S. companies. The newly disclosed documents cover the first three months of 2026, with transaction values ranging broadly from $220 million to approximately $750 million. Significant purchases valued between $1 million and $5 million include S&P 500 index funds, Nvidia, and Apple. Large sales valued between $5 million and $25 million include Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta. The documents do not consistently specify the exact types of securities involved, such as whether they are stocks or corporate bonds, nor do they indicate which accounts the transactions occurred in or who authorized the trades. Such disclosure documents are mandatory but only partially reflect officials' financial activities, as they only list transactions exceeding $1,000 and present them in broad value ranges without disclosing specific transaction prices, profit situations, or whether assets were directly purchased or held through managed accounts. Trump's assets are held in a trust controlled by his children, and some transactions in the new documents indicate the involvement of brokers as agents. (NBC)
