U.S. President Donald Trump responded to criticism tied to his market activity by saying he acts "for our country, and not for myself." According to Odaily, Trump has recently praised stock market performance and economic data while facing controversy over financial gains reported during his first year back in the White House. The report said he made more than $2 billion in that period, with trading volume in stock- and bond-related investments rising sharply. That increase drew continued criticism from the opposition. Trump pushed back in blunt terms, saying he had made hundreds of billions of dollars for the United States through stocks and other asset holdings rather than for himself, and complained that he received only criticism from what he called radical left Democrats. The remarks were presented as his direct response to the political backlash surrounding his investment activity.

That drew controversy and repeated criticism from the opposition.

In response, Trump said: 「I do this for our country, and not for myself. Through stocks and holding various other assets, I have made hundreds of billions of dollars for America — not for myself — and all I get is criticism from radical left ‘stupid Democrats.’ It is so unfair, but what can you do?」
