Trump Sells Meta Stocks, Buys Berkshire Hathaway

Donald Trump revealed over 1,000 financial transactions for June, highlighting significant changes in his investment portfolio.

President Donald Trump disclosed just over 1,000 financial transactions for the month of June, indicating a substantial reshuffling of his investment portfolio.

The president rotated in and out of various stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds during the month. According to Trump’s latest filing on August 22, the total amount involved ranged from $78.1 million to $263.1 million. His filings suggest that purchases exceeded $49 million, while sales totaled at least $28.5 million.

While this filing unveils some of Trump’s investment moves, it does not provide a complete picture of his total portfolio holdings. Specific amounts for each purchase or sale are not disclosed, nor is there clarity on how much ownership Trump has in particular securities.

Among the securities sold by Trump were the Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund ETF, the State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF, and the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF. Transactions for these ETFs ranged from $1 million to $5 million. In total, there were 25 transactions in this category, with the remainder falling into smaller buckets of $1 million and under. The filings necessitate the disclosure of security transactions over $1,000.

In addition to ETFs, Trump engaged in transactions with defense contractor Palantir Technologies, purchasing between $1,001 and $15,000 on June 3. Following this, he sold between $15,001 and $50,000 on June 16 and another $500,001 to $1 million on June 18, coinciding with a U.S.-Iran peace deal announcement on June 14. Trump’s trading also included a small repurchase on June 23.

The White House has yet to respond to requests for comment regarding these transactions. Previously, spokesman Davis Ingle stated in May that Trump’s assets are managed within a trust overseen by his children.

“There are no conflicts of interest,” Ingle expressed, aiming to reassure the public. “President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public — which is why they overwhelmingly re-elected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations against him and his businesses from the fake news media.”

These disclosures not only provide insights into Trump’s financial strategies but also raise questions about the transparency of his investment practices.
