Trump Executed 3,600 Stock Trades in Q1, Bought Nvidia, Dell, Then Made a 'Stock Tip,' Sparking Conflict-of-Interest Controversy

Former President Donald Trump executed 3,642 individual stock trades in Q1 2026, averaging about 60 trades per day, according to a recent OGE 278-T disclosure. This breaks from the modern presidential tradition of using blind trusts. The filings reveal Trump sold large positions in Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft while making significant new purchases in AI and semiconductor firms like NVIDIA, Broadcom, and Intel. Notably, he bought $1-5 million worth of Dell stock on February 10. Three months later, on May 8, he publicly urged Americans to "buy Dell" at a White House event; the stock has since risen 96%. His Intel purchases began in early March, after which the stock surged 150%. The U.S. government had taken a 9.9% stake in Intel in August 2025. These transactions, occurring close to related policy actions or public endorsements, have ignited significant controversy over potential conflicts of interest. While the White House maintains full compliance with the STOCK Act, critics highlight the unprecedented scale of trading and the timing coinciding with his official duties and donors' interests.
