Trump bought at least $82 million in bonds

US Market & Sectors

Trump bought $82M+ in bonds from late August to early October, focusing on sectors boosted by his policies like chipmakers, tech, retailers and banks. He even bought Intel bonds after the government took a stake in the company.

To me, this feels like a classic case of mixing politics and personal gain, hard to separate the two when your investments directly benefit from your own policies. Not sure if it’s smart investing or just influence at work here. Seems like a slippery slope to me.

Maybe he knows something about these sectors that the rest of us don’t. Could be a savvy move despite the optics.

Exactly! sometimes insiders really do have a better read on where markets are headed. When it comes to bonds in sectors benefiting from policy shifts, a well-informed bet like this could pay off big. Even if it seems like mixing business and politics, those inside views often shape market moves before the rest of us catch on.
