Trump personally signed the document on May 8, certified that \u201cthe statements I have made in this report are true, complete and correct to the best of my knowledge\u201d and submitted it to the Office of Government Ethics.<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>According to Trump\u2019s disclosure, he made more than 3,500 individual stock trades between January and March. The president personally owns these stocks, per the disclosure \u2014 not his Trump Organization business, not his family, not the federal government.<\/p><h2><b>Who actually manages Trump\u2019s investments?<\/b><\/h2><p>That\u2019s not entirely clear.<\/p>\n<p>When NOTUS contacted the White House last week, a spokesperson for the president declined to comment and deferred to the Trump Organization, the president\u2019s business entity.<\/p><p>Kimberly Benza, a spokesperson for the Trump Organization, told NOTUS on Thursday that Trump\u2019s investments are \u201cmaintained exclusively through fully discretionary accounts independently managed by third-party financial institutions with sole and exclusive authority over all investment decisions.\u201d<\/p><p>Benza continued: \u201cTrades are executed and portfolios are balanced through automated investment processes and systems administered by those institutions. Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments. They receive no advance notice of trading activity and provide no input regarding investment decisions or portfolio management of any kind.\u201d<\/p><p>A day later, the White House decided to comment after all, and Davis Ingle, a White House spokesperson, sent a seemingly contradictory statement to NOTUS.<\/p><p>\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s assets are in a trust managed by his children. There are no conflicts of interest,\u201d Ingle told NOTUS. He referred follow-up questions about who manages the president\u2019s investment portfolio back to the Trump Organization.<\/p><p>When NOTUS contacted the Trump Organization to clarify the apparent contradiction, Benza said that \u201call Trump assets are managed by the President\u2019s children, and are invested blindly by financial institutions in broad market indexes. To suggest that individual stocks are being bought or sold at the discretion of any member of the Trump family would be a lie and blatantly false.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither the Trump Organization nor the White House have named the people or financial institutions involved in the buying and selling of Trump\u2019s stock holdings. They also did not say what direction, however specific or broad, Trump gives his financial advisers, now or in the past.<\/p><p>In a post on X responding to <span><u>criticism<\/u><\/span> by Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Eric Trump on Friday <span><u>offered another perspective<\/u><\/span> that didn\u2019t quite line up with the statements from the White House and Trump Organization.<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>\u201cAll of our assets are invested in a blind trust by the largest financial institutions in broad market indexes,\u201d he wrote. He then repeated Benza\u2019s statement: \u201cTo suggest that individual stocks are being bought or sold, at the discretion of any member of the Trump family, would be a lie and blatantly false.\u201d<\/p><p><span><u>By<\/u><\/span> <span><u>definition<\/u><\/span>, a blind trust is a financial structure in which the owner is unaware of how their money is being invested. The president has certified in a  that he is aware of what stocks he owns and that the stocks are not broad market index funds, but rather, individual corporate stocks.<\/p><h2><b>What do ethics watchdogs say?<\/b><\/h2><p>Government ethics advocates told NOTUS that lack of transparency on who manages Trump\u2019s investments adds to questions about possible conflicts of interests that have followed Trump throughout his time in the Oval Office.<\/p><p>\u201cThe confusion from the White House as to who manages the president\u2019s stock portfolios is deeply troubling,\u201d Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette, acting vice president of policy and government affairs at the Project On Government Oversight, told NOTUS in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would raise serious ethical questions if President Trump\u2019s children do indeed manage his investments \u2014 it leaves open the possibility that Trump and his family are corruptly benefitting financially from Trump\u2019s time in office,\u201d Hedtler-Gaudette wrote. \u201cThis is why we need clear laws that ban the president, vice president, and their families from owning and trading stocks.\u201d<\/p><p>Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist at the progressive advocacy group Public Citizen, told NOTUS that as president, \u201cTrump is in an ideal position to know which of his official actions will affect the stock market and how, and bets heavily on the profitable stocks.\u201d<\/p><h2><b>What corporations are Trump investing in? <\/b><\/h2><p>Trump\u2019s  represent a departure from his investment patterns during the first year of his second presidential term, which largely consisted of corporate and municipal bonds.<\/p><p>For example, he purchased $1 million to $5 million in semiconductor company Nvidia stock. (By law, officials only have to report the broad ranges their transactions are within, not exact amounts.) He also sold $1 million to $5 million in the stock of Oracle, an internet infrastructure and tech company. Trump personally knows the leading executives of these companies, <span><u>Jensen Huang<\/u><\/span> and <span><u>Larry Ellison<\/u><\/span>, and both of these companies have received lucrative federal contracts.<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>That month, Trump also bought $1 million to $5 million worth of stock in Axon, a large federal contractor, which has a $220 million commitment from Immigration and Customs Enforcement to buy <span><u>Tasers<\/u><\/span>.<\/p><p>Trump has also this year bought tens of millions of dollars worth of stock this year in companies the Trump administration regulates. These include corporate giants such as Palantir, Microsoft, Intel, Netflix, IBM, Qualcomm, Blackstone, Uber, Walmart, T-Mobile and Intuit.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s stock portfolio is not, by definition, part of a blind trust because he\u2019s affirmed and certified that he knows what\u2019s in it.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1329\">State Officials and Experts Discount New Trump Push for Election Probes<\/a><\/p><h2><b>Did Trump break the law?<\/b><\/h2><p>It\u2019s perfectly legal for Trump, Vice President JD Vance and any member of Congress to buy and sell corporate stocks. Many do \u2014 <span><u>Republicans<\/u><\/span> and <span><u>Democrats<\/u><\/span> alike. In this respect, he broke no law.<\/p><p>Trump, however, <span><u>did violate<\/u><\/span> the disclosure provisions of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act by not publicly reporting stock trades within 45 days of making them.<\/p><p>The financial disclosures documents that Trump filed last week \u2014 one with individual stock trades and another one with federal and municipal bonds \u2014 indicate he paid a $200 fine for reporting trades past the STOCK Act\u2019s deadline.<\/p><h2><b>What has Trump said about government officials trading stocks?<\/b><\/h2><p>Trump made his stock trades amid congressional scrutiny over politicians trading stocks and whether lawmakers and other officials are using nonpublic information to game the stock market.<\/p><p>During his State of the Union address, Trump called on Congress to pass a stock trading ban \u201cwithout delay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we ensure that all Americans can profit from a rising stock market, let\u2019s also ensure that members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information,\u201d Trump said on Feb. 24.<\/p><p>But the president has expressed no desire to extend such a ban to the White House. Last year, Trump <span><u>blasted<\/u><\/span> Sen. Josh Hawley, a fellow Republican, when the Missouri lawmaker helped advance a stock-ban bill that includes the president and vice president. Since then, the bill had languished in the Senate without a vote.<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>\u201cI don\u2019t think real Republicans want to see their President, who has had unprecedented success, TARGETED, because of the \u2018whims\u2019 of a second-tier Senator named Josh Hawley!\u201d Trump said in a statement at the time.<\/p><p>A few members of Congress, including Republican Rep. Jefferson Shreve and Democratic Rep. Julie Johnson, have divested from the stock market amid public pressure about their investments.<\/p><p>There is a growing bipartisan coalition of members \u2014 including Republican lawmakers such as Anna Paulina Luna and Tim Burchett, and Democratic lawmakers such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pramila Jayapal \u2014 that has been pushing legislation to ban members of Congress from buying and selling stocks.<\/p><h2><b>Has Trump promoted companies he has invested in? <\/b><\/h2><p>Trump has directly promoted the companies he is heavily invested in.<\/p>\n<p>On April 10, Trump wrote a flattering <span><u>post<\/u><\/span> about Palantir, only a few months after he purchased at least $260,000 worth of stock in Palantir, the defense and homeland security tech company,<\/p><p>\u201cPalantir Technologies (PLTR) has proven to have great war fighting capabilities and equipment,\u201d he wrote, mentioning the company\u2019s stock market ticker.<\/p><p>In February, Palantir <span><u>also obtained<\/u><\/span> a $1 billion contract with the Department of Homeland Security, in part to develop artificial intelligence tools to support federal immigration agents.<\/p><p>On Feb. 10, Trump purchased $1 million to $5 million worth of Dell stock. <\/p><p>Just over a week later, he <span><u>praised<\/u><\/span> the technology manufacturing giant during a speech in Georgia, saying, \u201cGo out and buy a Dell computer.\u201d<\/p><p>Morris Pearl, chairman of the Patriotic Millionaires, an advocacy group pushing to increase taxes on the rich, told NOTUSthat even the appearance of impropriety has the potential to hurt the long-term trust of investors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason we have such a successful financial industry here in the U.S. is because people from all over the world feel confident that if they send their money to U.S. stockbrokers, people aren\u2019t going to take advantage of them unfairly,\u201d said Pearl, who was a managing director of investment firm BlackRock. \u201cTrump is destroying that, and I think that\u2019s going to be very damaging to the U.S. financial industry in the long run.\u201d <\/p><h2><b>How have other presidents managed their investments? <\/b><\/h2><p>The presidency is mostly exempt from federal conflict-of-interest laws. But most modern presidents have abstained from trading individual stocks to avoid even the perception that they were using the power and platform of the presidency to play the stock market.<\/p><p>President Jimmy Carter famously <span><u>put his peanut farm<\/u><\/span> into a blind trust during his presidency \u2014 although he retained ownership, if not control, of the asset.<\/p><p>Quitting stocks was \u201cthe kind of thing Ronald Reagan did when he was coming in, because he was so rich \u2014 not Trump rich, but still very rich \u2014 and didn\u2019t want people questioning whether he was acting in his best interest or Americans\u2019 best interest. Trump did not do that,\u201d Jordan Libowitz, a spokesperson for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told NOTUS.<\/p><p>The way Trump\u2019s investment portfolio is set up, he has to acknowledge every quarter that he has full knowledge of which individual stocks he owns and which trades he discloses. Libowitz argues that a blind trust would be the best way to avoid the possibility of conflict of interest.<\/p><p>\u201cJust knowing what\u2019s in the trust can impact the president\u2019s actions, because he can take action that will either help or hurt the companies that he\u2019s invested in or not invested in,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s the reason that we want to see more separation between a president and their assets.\u201d<br\/><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1325\">Democrats\u2019 Nebraska Senate Nominee Wants Off the Ballot.
