According to ethics filings released this week, President Trump made over 3,600 stock trades during Q1 2026.
Reuters reports the transactions were valued between $220 million and $750 million. The wide range exists because federal disclosure rules only require transactions to be reported in broad value bands, not exact dollar amounts.
CNBC reports the trades were heavily concentrated in tech stocks. The disclosures were released the same week Trump publicly told Americans to "go out and buy Dell" while reportedly holding over $5 million in Dell stock he had purchased starting in February. Dell is one of the largest beneficiaries of the AI server buildout.
Federal ethics rules require disclosure but do not prohibit the president from actively trading individual stocks while making policy decisions that directly affect those companies' valuations.
According to the New York Times, citing two Middle Eastern officials, the U.S. and Israel are preparing to possibly resume combat operations against Iran, possibly under a new name, as early as next week. Per the report, options for targeting include what one official called more aggressive strikes against both military and infrastructure targets. Additionally, another option on the table is to use special forces to go in and extract highly enriched uranium from inside Iran. However, per the report, this would need thousands of supporting troops and numerous other support elements to succeed and the risks of such an operation are extremely high.
