BREAKING: Trump's latest stock trading spree โ 3,642 stock trades in just 3 months โ has ethics experts SOUNDING THE ALARM.
At this point, itโs pretty undeniable that Donald Trump is more interested in enriching himself than doing his job as president.
The numbers just dropped, and they are STAGGERING. Donald Trump's investment accounts made 3,642 stock trades โ worth between $212 million and $695 MILLION โ in just the first three months of 2026.
That is an UNPRECEDENTED volume of trading for a sitting president, and ethics experts are sounding alarms.
Let's put that in perspective. Trump's previous disclosures showed him slowly trading bonds โ just 191 transactions over two entire months. Then suddenly, in early 2026, his accounts EXPLODED into 3,642 trades across more than 1,000 companies. On March 23 ALONE, his accounts made 283 purchases.
And the timing of certain trades is INFURIATING.
His accounts bought Nvidia stock on January 6th. The next week, his administration relaxed export controls, letting Nvidia sell AI chips to China.
His accounts bought Palantir stock throughout March. On April 7th, Trump personally PUMPED the stock on Truth Social, including its ticker symbol: "Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has proven to have great war fighting capabilities... Just ask our enemies!!!"
His accounts bought Eli Lilly stock right as his administration made "several favorable government decisions" benefiting the drugmaker.
Veteran financial adviser Eric Diton โ 40 years in the business โ couldn't make sense of it. "I can't come up with a rationale for that amount of trading for ANYONE," he said. "It makes no sense to me. I've never seen a strategy out there that would warrant that amount of trading. Thousands of trades in a quarter."
Then he delivered the kicker: "I don't think the president can sit there and day trade. To do thousands of trades in a quarter, that's a FULL-TIME JOB and then some."
So, either Trump is somehow personally day-trading while running the country, or โ as Senator Elizabeth Warren argues โ he has visibility into accounts trading in companies that his every decision and TWEET can move.
"The investments that President Trump has made are not blind," Warren said. "President Trump literally signed the 113-page document publicly listing all of his individual stock trades at the same time that he is making decisions affecting those stocks."
Columbia ethics professor Richard Briffault nailed the danger: "He gets on Truth Social and says a deal with Iran is near. That's going to affect prices. The next day he says they're being difficult, we have to bomb again. In the meantime, he could have bought or sold stocks affected by these decisions."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's defense? Trump isn't "sitting in the Oval Office engaging in a high-frequency trading strategy."
Sure. He just signs off on every trade and controls the policies that move them.
Even Republican Josh Hawley wants to ban it. Trump then called him a "second-tier Senator."
This isn't a blind trust. It's a blank check.
