Financial disclosures reveal Trump made over 3,700 stock trades in Q1 2026 totaling $220M-$750M. The pattern: buy stock, then promote the company or award it a government contract.

He bought TKO (UFC's parent) stock, then staged a UFC fight on the White House lawn. He bought AMD stock on January 6 — a week before Commerce authorized AMD to sell chips to China.
