Trump's Trading Frenzy Outpaces the Market, Sparking Ethics Debate
TL;DR Summary
Business Insider reports that Donald Trump logged about 21,285 stock trades in 2025—roughly 85 trades a day—with an equity portfolio that would have returned about 37.3% since his inauguration, beating the S&P 500’s 23.5%. The gains come from a mix of large megacap stocks, a massive stake in Trump Media, and sizable crypto income; experts warn that a president actively trading and promoting specific stocks creates significant conflicts of interest.
