On May 31, today, a video clip filmed last December in which Trump praised IBM CEO Arvind Krishna during a White House roundtable has once again gone viral. In the video, Trump said that IBM’s stock price has risen from a low point to a decent level and predicted that it “will go even higher.”

The reason for the heated discussion is that on May 21, IBM received $1 billion in funding for a quantum chip factory from the U.S. Department of Commerce under the CHIPS Act. Benefiting from this positive development, IBM’s stock price rose for a consecutive week, increasing by about 17.7% and nearing its historical high.

Notably, Trump didn’t just praise IBM verbally—he also quietly bought a small amount of IBM stock in his actions. Recently, a U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) Form 278-T financial disclosure document (the 2026 Q1 trading report) revealed that Trump’s trust purchased an IBM stock on March 21, though the amount was not large, in the range of $15,001 to $50,000. #成长值抽奖赢金条
