Donald Trump Executes 29,000 Securities Trades Since Returning to Office
President Donald Trump conducted 29,000 securities trades while simultaneously pursuing a stock-purchasing ban for members of Congress that would not apply to him.
Donald Trump has executed 29,000 securities trades since returning to the presidency. This volume of personal financial activity exceeds the combined trading activity of all members of the United States Congress.
This high level of trading occurs as the president pursues a stock-purchasing ban for lawmakers. The proposed restriction would prohibit members of Congress from purchasing stocks, though the ban would not apply to the president himself.
