Trump sold nearly $30m in stocks in June as Congress debates trading crackdown

  • Financial disclosures reveal Donald Trump heavily reshuffled his stock portfolio in June, making at least $49 million in purchases and $28.5 million in sales across more than 1,000 trades.
  • Key transactions included selling up to $25 million in Vanguard ETF shares, along with significant purchases of Home Depot and Fidelity National Information Services stock.
  • Critics raised concerns over potential conflicts of interest because Trump did not place his assets in a blind trust for his second term, though the White House denied any wrongdoing.
  • The Trump family's total wealth increased by $2 billion in 2025, largely driven by cryptocurrency ventures and overseas brand licensing.
  • The investments occurred as Congress debates legislation to ban stock trading by elected officials, though current drafts exclude the president and vice president.
