Trump made hundreds of millions in stock trades in early 2026, raising serious questions about insider trading and corruption at the top of the US government.

• Trump disclosed huge trades in Nvidia, Palantir, Boeing, Tesla, Apple, Meta, and others, far more than during his first year back in office.
• He bought up to $630,000 of Palantir stock, then publicly praised the company on Truth Social weeks later.
• Executives from these same companies flew with him to Beijing, where deals like a 200-plane Boeing purchase were announced.
• The government also took a 10% stake in Intel, another stock Trump traded, and is reviewing the Paramount-Warner merger, which also appeared in his trades.
• FBI Director Kash Patel is facing separate scrutiny for using government resources for personal trips, including a snorkel tour over the USS Arizona war grave.

Outlook: The trading and influence-peddling will likely keep growing as long as no ban on presidential trading is in place.
