You might have seen the reveal of Donald Trump’s insane number of trades recently, with over 3,700 trades just in the first quarter of this year.
The President has since been accused of insider trading, given that a number of moves seem to have benefited from his political decisions.
BUT what you might have missed is that some of those moves were also in stocks that Trump openly campaigned against.
So, what gives?
Di-vestment Portfolio
Just to lay them all out, first we have Trump’s account trading $6 million in shares in Disney, all whilst he was embroiled in that whole Jimmy Kimmel feud.

Then you’ve got investments in JPMorgan worth between $500,000 and $1.2 million, even though Trump was suing (and technically is still suing for $5 billion) JPMorgan for “deban king” him. Bank of America is the same story.
Caterpillar and John Deere have also been bought and sold despite Trump’s open critique of the farming manufacturers. And Trump also criticised MSNBC’s rebrand as MS NOW, yet continued to buy stock in its parent company.
Finally, you have the Netflix/Paramount/Warner Bros saga in which Trump’s investors seem to have been hedging their bets.
Netflix had $1.9 million in trades, Paramount just $50,000, and Warner Bros stock was also traded for an undisclosed amount.
Trumped Up Charges
So, is Trump playing 6D chess? Is he deliberately tanking the stock for some sweet bargains? Or is this all a big coincidence?
Well, we don’t know.
But the party line is that this is all kosher. As the Trump Organization and JD Vance have assured people, Trump himself isn’t actually in control of these accounts.
“Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments,” the Trump Organization has said in a statement. “They receive no advance notice of trading activity and provide no input regarding investment decisions or portfolio management of any kind.”
If anything, all this shows is just how prolific Trump’s traders have been and just how prolific Trump is at his criticisms.
An unexpected crossover was bound to come up sooner or later.
