Trump Buys $100M+ In Corporate And Municipal Bonds

NBC News reports:

President Donald Trump has purchased at least $103 million worth of corporate and municipal bonds since taking office in January, according to new filings from the Office of Government Ethics. The documents, released late Tuesday night, show that Trump began the bond-buying spree one day after being sworn in on Jan. 20 and include debt sold by companies, local governments and entities that could be directly impacted by his sweeping agenda.

The active trading by a president of the United States is unprecedented and puts Trump in a direct position to benefit — or lose out — if any of the entities that own the bonds he’s purchased succeed or fail. It’s also another example of Trump pursuing business endeavors and transactions to increase his wealth while serving in office. Trump’s net worth currently sits around $5.5 billion, according to the Forbes Billionaires List, up a staggering $3.2 billion since 2024.
