U.S. President Trump reported at least $2.2 billion in income in 2025, his first year back in the White House, compared with about $622 million in 2024. His expanded stock and bond investment activity, including $220 million to about $750 million in personal securities transactions during the first three months of 2026, prompted controversy and criticism from opposition Democrats. Trump defended the holdings, saying he acted for the country rather than himself and claiming he generated hundreds of billions of dollars for America through stocks and other assets.
