Trump Traded A Stock Every 7 Minutes In Q1 And Some Of His Moves Are Wild

They Don’t Call Him ‘Fast Fingers Donald’…

Donald (the President) Trump has traded stocks more than 3,700 times in the first quarter of this year, averaging 59 trades a day, 9 trades an hour and one trade every seven minutes.

Now you might be wondering, how does he find the time? What if he needs to go to sleep, or eat, or join a step aerobics class that takes longer than seven minutes?

Well, as Vice President, JD Vance explained in a White House press briefing, “The president doesn’t sit at the Oval Office on his computer on his, like, Robinhood account, buying and selling stocks. That’s absurd. He has independent wealth advisors who manage his money. He is a wealthy person. He has had success in business. He’s not making these stock trades himself.”

And Vice Vance is right, he doesn’t manage his portfolio directly. Instead, a third party of independent execs manages Donald’s accounts.

“Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments,” said a spokesperson for the family business. “They receive no advance notice of trading activity and provide no input regarding investment decisions or portfolio management.”

But still, this hasn’t stopped reporters and pundits from pointing out some pretty interesting links between some of the President’s trades.

Pelosi Who?

For example, a $6 million investment in Nvidia goes alongside Trump approving the sale of chips to China last year. And then there are the stocks he holds in Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman that were directly impacted by the Iran war.

In March, Trump’s portfolio expanded its share in Palantir. Then, in April, Trump tweeted an X on Truth Social, saying, “Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has proven to have great war fighting capabilities and equipment. Just ask our enemies!!! President DJT.”

Ooh, he even included the ticker.

But hey, lots of people were hyping up Palantir at the time, again, this might just be a coincidence.

If anything, Vance/Vice says Trump is actively against this sort of thing. “All of us believe that nobody should be taking proprietary information gained from public service and buying and selling stocks,” he said.

“We want to ban that process. And I think the way to lead by example is banning that process, banning that approach, and making it illegal, which is exactly what the president has proposed doing.”
