President Donald Trump recently shared a meme on his social media platform, Truth Social, depicting himself trading stocks from the Oval Office. In the image, he is shown seated behind the Resolute Desk, reviewing trading data on four monitors, with a caption reading, "I do this for our Country, not myself." This post was part of a series he shared late Sunday, in which he claimed to have generated "Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks, and many other type Holdings, for the U.S.A., not myself," while criticizing what he called the "Radical Left Dumocrats" for their scrutiny of his actions. He described the criticism as "Very unfair, but what can you do!" The post comes amid a Gallup poll released last week, which found that 90 percent of Americans believe the U.S. government and its political leaders are corrupt. Trump appeared to reference this sentiment in his message, reinforcing his narrative that he is being unfairly targeted. His financial disclosures for 2025 show he earned $2.2 billion, leading critics to accuse him of profiting from his position during his second term. The choice of Intel in the meme is notable. According to filings from the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), Trump purchased shares in the microchip-maker multiple times earlier this year, even as the U.S. government acquired a 10 percent stake in the company in August 2025. This stake was passive and did not grant governance rights. The OGE reported that Trump made several purchases, including $50,000 to $100,000 worth of Intel shares on February 3, and additional smaller investments in March. These transactions were part of more than 3,600 stock trades he made in the first quarter of 2026, totaling over $100 million. In July, Trump addressed his growing personal fortune, stating that it resulted from the efforts of his financial advisers rather than any deliberate attempt to profit from his presidency. He described the process as a "blind account," where his money is managed by institutions without his direct involvement. He emphasized that his profits were due to the overall rise in the stock market, not any special advantage from his position.
