Trump’s Truth Social posts amplified firms soon after stock buys, fueling ethics concerns

CNN’s investigation found Trump praised more than 20 companies on Truth Social within days of buying stock in those firms, including Nvidia and Tesla, with at least 44 stock purchases across 21 companies in the week before his posts. The White House says trades are managed by outside advisers in discretionary accounts and there are no conflicts of interest, but critics warn the pattern creates the appearance of impropriety while Congress debates limits on presidential stock trading. Trump’s assets are not in a blind trust, meaning he could know which holdings his advisers are buying or selling.

Trump's Trading Frenzy Outpaces the Market, Sparking Ethics Debate

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.
