class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump\u2019s trading spree draws scrutiny<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release of Trump\u2019s early 2026 ethical disclosure report, containing more than 3,600 transactions with a cumulative value ranging from $220 million to $750 million, sparked questions about the trades\u2019 timing and if the business-savvy president placed them himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spokesperson for the Trump Organization, the president\u2019s privately owned conglomerate, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/government\/trump-ethics-filing-reveals-thousands-trades-tied-us-corporate-securities-2026-05-14\/\">told<\/a> <em>Reuters<\/em> that Trump\u2019s holdings are independently managed by investment advisers who have \u201csole and exclusive authority over all investment decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The representative said Trump\u2019s trades are executed and portfolios are balanced through automated investment processes administered by those third-party financial managers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNeither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments,\u201d the spokesperson said. \u201cThey receive no advance notice of trading activity and provide no input regarding investment decisions or portfolio management of any kind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vice President JD Vance similarly <a

president does not personally decide the trades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe has independent wealth advisers who manage his money,\u201d Vance told reporters. \u201cHe\u2019s not making these stock trades himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe president doesn\u2019t sit in the Oval Office on his computer, on his Robinhood account, buying and selling stocks,\u201d Vance added. \u201cThat\u2019s absurd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three of Trump\u2019s investments in Thermo Fisher, Apple, and Micron \u2014 dated March 11 and March 25 \u2014 were marked \u201cUNSOLICITED\u201d on the disclosure form. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"

fiscal maneuvers for any aspects that would benefit him or his allies monetarily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s opponents, for instance, have accused him of enriching himself off
