Trump Brokerage Accounts Placed 3,600 Trades in 3 Months, Far Above Prior Disclosures

Summary
More than 3,600 trades flowed through President Trump’s brokerage accounts in the first three months of 2026, with activity often coming in bursts of dozens or even hundreds in a single day.
That pace marked a sharp jump from prior disclosures, which typically showed only a few hundred trades or fewer; one filing last year listed just 25, according to the report.
Some transactions also appeared well timed, including a Dell share purchase made months before the company won a lucrative government contract.
Trump critics say the pattern raises concerns that he is profiting from the presidency or benefiting from inside information, while the Trump Organization says outside brokerage firms control all trading and neither Trump nor his family can direct it.
