President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday, September 6, to assert that he had earned 'hundreds of billions of dollars' for the United States through his stock and other asset holdings, emphasizing that he did so for the country, not for personal gain. He also criticized 'radical left dumb Democrats' for complaining about his approach. According to Reuters, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics revealed that Trump had disclosed personal securities trades worth at least $220 million and up to $750 million in the first three months of 2026. Furthermore, annual financial documents from the ethics office showed Trump's total income in 2025 was at least $2.2 billion, a substantial increase from approximately $622 million in 2024, when he was not in office. In a separate post, Trump shared an AI-generated image depicting himself trading in the Oval Office, with Intel's stock price climbing from $20 to $95. This aligns with the government's August 2025 investment of about $8.9 billion to acquire 9.9% of Intel at $20.47 per share; CNBC reported Intel's closing price at $95.80 on September 4, 2026. The White House clarified that all trades under Trump's name are carried out by external financial managers, and Trump and his family have no control over specific trading decisions.
