Trump's August Trades: $25M Meta Buy, SpaceX Bond Purchase Precede Policy Shifts
President Trump’s August financial disclosure reveals 517 trades totaling up to $273.3 million, including a $25 million purchase in Meta and a $5 million investment in SpaceX bonds. The SpaceX buy occurred two days before a major space policy announcement, while AI-related trades suggest a shift from infrastructure to monetization. The White House maintains the portfolio is independently managed, but critics cite potential conflicts of interest.
