Trump's hundreds of millions of dollars in securities trading records exposed, buying securities related to Nvidia and Apple

On May 15th, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics released two latest financial disclosure documents showing that Trump disclosed large-scale financial transactions earlier this year involving securities of several major American companies, totaling at least $220 million. The newly disclosed documents cover the first three months of 2026, with transaction values ranging broadly from $220 million to approximately $750 million. Large 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 always specify the exact type of securities involved, such as whether they are stocks or corporate bonds, nor do they specify which accounts the transactions occurred in or who issued the trading instructions. Such disclosures are mandatory but only partially reflect the officials’ financial activities because they only list transactions exceeding $1,000 and present broad amount ranges, without disclosing specific transaction prices, profit details, or whether assets were bought directly or held through custodial accounts. Trump’s assets are held in trusts controlled by his children, and some transactions in the new documents show broker involvement as agents. (NBC)
