In just the first quarter of 2026, Donald Trump — or employees or advisers working on his behalf — executed an astounding 3,700 trades totaling tens of millions of dollars in major companies that have had active, ongoing dealings with his own administration.
Trump made more than 40 trades per day, every day, in first three months of the year — buying and selling stocks in companies like Nvidia, Boeing, Intel, Microsoft, and Costco, all while simultaneously making policy decisions that directly impacted their share prices! As one veteran Wall Street executive put it, "In the 40-plus years of my time on Wall Street, this is an unusual amount of trading by any standards." Another called it “an insane amount of trades.” Unusual and insane are two ways to describe it. Insider trading and securities fraud would fit the bill, too.
Demand Congress investigate Trump for insider trading!
When asked about the blatantly obvious red flags this trading activity raised, White House spokesman David Ingle laughably claimed that Trump “only acts in the best interests of the American public,” adding, “There are no conflicts of interest.” Riiight.
The conflict of interest, in fact, could not be more glaring. Trump made at least six trades in Intel stock right around the time his administration hammered out a deal to take a nearly $9 billion stake in the company. He also bought and sold shares in Netflix, Paramount Skydance, and Warner Bros. Discovery while the former two were locked in a high-profile fight to acquire the latter and while antitrust concerns over said merger were actively being evaluated by his own government.
Unlike every modern president before him, Trump has chosen not to divest his assets or place them in a blind trust — leaving the American public with zero assurances that his tempestuous policy decisions aren't being shaped by what is or isn’t in his sprawling portfolio.
Congress and federal ethics authorities MUST launch an immediate, independent investigation into Donald Trump's incredibly problematic trading activity to determine whether the president of the United States has been using the Oval Office to enrich himself to the tune of billions. Our money is on a resounding “yes.”
Call on Congress to investigate Trump for insider trading!
