Trump’s Bond Purchases: At Least $82 Million Since August, Raising Ethics and Economic Concerns
Financial disclosures revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump made significant bond purchases, totaling at least $82 million between late August and early October, with a maximum value exceeding $337 million. These investments, detailed in forms released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, included corporate and municipal bonds across various sectors, some of which benefit from his administration’s policies. Notable acquisitions included bonds from tech companies, retailers, and Wall Street banks. This occurred while Trump’s administration had previously stated that Trump does not have a hand in running the portfolio, which is managed by a third party.
