Usually, presidents divest themselves of their investments when they take office. Donald Trump began to trade even more.
We have NEVER seen anything like it.
On January 3, Trump made 3,699 trades worth up to $687 million in shares of Nvidia, Boeing and Palantir.
These are companies that actively conduct business with the US government. Their shares fluctuate every time Trump cancels the war with Iran, then starts it again.
By the way, the CEOs of all these companies were with Trump in Beijing.
Every modern president of the United States, starting with Jimmy Carter, has found a way to prevent the influence of his political decisions on his own finances (and vice versa).
Carter, Reagan, Clinton and Bush held assets in the trust. Obama and Biden did not trade stocks or bonds at all while in office.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump trades up to 600 trades a week while running the country.
I don't know about you, but it looks like insider trading to me. This should be prohibited.
