On Thursday, President Donald Trump disclosed a “flurry” of financial transactions he’d made earlier this year, but on Saturday, Bloomberg correspondent Josh Wingrove unpacked those transactions in greater detail, and in doing so, sparked outrage among critics.
The financial disclosures revealed this week that Trump or his advisers had made “at least $220 million in financial transactions in the securities of major U.S. companies” during the first three months of 2026, Bloomberg previously reported. On Saturday, Wingrove provided additional details on the president’s financial disclosures.
“President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosures show that he or his investment advisers made more than 3,700 trades in the first quarter, a flurry totaling tens of millions of dollars and involving major companies that have dealings with his administration,” Wingrove wrote Saturday in a social media post on X.
Companies that Trump or his advisers purchased securities for include Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Oracle and Bank of America, all companies that have reached major deals with the Trump administration.
“Most corrupt administration in the history of the US,” wrote former Minnesota state Democratic Sen. Linda Higgins, writing in a social media post on X in response to Wingrove’s reporting. “IMPEACH!”
Others, like California State University Fullerton Professor Amy Coplan, issued a demand to Congress to stop Trump from engaging in what she alleged to be “insider [trading].”
“You MUST act to stop this sort of insider [trading],” Coplan wrote in a social media post on X. “This IS NOT A victimless crime.”
