According to Bloomberg, President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosures show that he or his investment advisers made more than 3,700 trades in the first quarter of 2026. And it has Wall Street astonished.
Quite frankly, it has us astonished as well.
And when you see how the 3,700 trades were a flurry totaling tens of millions of dollars and involving major companies that have dealings with his administration, you must wonder…Is this legal?
In plain English, this is an insane number of trades averaging 40 per day for the first three months.
And the transactions were spelled out in more than 100 pages of documents filed Thursday with the US Office of Government Ethics.
Seriously, you cannot make this stuff up.
Because if you made that many trades (with companies that you conducted multiple business transactions with) there’s a high probability that you would go to jail.
In the first quarter alone, the president bought at least $1 million each in companies including Nvidia Corp., Oracle Corp., Microsoft Corp., Boeing Co. and Costco Wholesale Corp., according to the documents.
But prior to becoming president, and unlike his predecessors, Trump didn’t divest or move his assets into a blind trust with an independent overseer.
His sprawling business empire is managed by two of his sons and operates in several areas that intersect with presidential policy.
Translation: This kind of activity is making Nancy Pelosi look like a piker.
Wall Street Astonished
In Case You Missed it… Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner helps manage billions in investments for Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates while simultaneously serving as a “volunteer” envoy for the president on issues affecting the war in Iran and the Middle East in general.
Hopefully Kushner’s investment skills are better than his peace negotiating skills.
In addition to the insane amount of Trump trades, Wall Street is astonished how the White House dismissed questions about potential conflicts, with spokesman David Ingle saying that Trump “only acts in the best interests of the American public.” He added: “There are no conflicts of interest.”
No conflicts of interest?
LMAO!
Maybe Trump’s spokesmen are unaware of the infamous TACO Trades that mysteriously coincided with peace talks with Iran.
Or Maybe Wall Street is in on the same trades as Trump has been making while skimming their percentage off the top.
Or Maybe, JUST MAYBE, this is linked to fact that Trump has made a number of policy moves that affect the publicly listed companies he traded, and he interacts regularly with many of the executives of those firms.
Those companies include Nvidia, whose chips, critical to AI development, require US government approval for foreign sales.
And remember, he recently took Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang with him to the summit in Bejing.
Hmmm!
We’re betting that no one in the Trump regime will be charged with any illegal activity or wrong doing.
But the next time you make over 40 trades in one day, don’t be surprised when the SEC comes knocking at your door.
