What is worse is most of the MSM and congress could care less.
Trump Traded Nvidia, Boeing, Intel in Flurry of Transactions
President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosures show that he made a slew of stock and bond purchases with major American companies in the first quarter of the year totaling in the tens of millions of dollars and possibly more.
The transactions, spelled out in documents filed with the US Office of Government Ethics that encompass more than 100 pages, list purchases and sales in broad ranges. In the first quarter, the president bought as much as $5 million each in companies including Nvidia Corp., Oracle Corp, Microsoft Corp., Boeing Co. and Costco Wholesale Corp., according to the documents posted on Thursday.
It’s not clear how many of the transactions involve equities. Unlike reports that members of Congress file, Trump doesn’t have to specify the classes of the asset he’s trading.
The president has made a number of policy moves that intersect with publicly traded companies including Nvidia, whose chips, critical to AI development, require US government approval for foreign sales. Executives from Nvidia and Boeing are part of a US delegation of business leaders who have accompanied Trump on a trip this week to China.
