- Bond Investment Scale: Trump purchased approximately $100 million in municipal and corporate bonds from mid-November to late December, including up to $2 million in Netflix bonds, indicating his ongoing interest in the media sector.
- Merger Implications: Trump's bond purchases shortly after the Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery merger announcement raise questions about potential conflicts of interest, particularly as he will have a say in the regulatory approval of the merger.
- Portfolio Diversification: His investment portfolio also includes bonds from Boeing, Occidental Petroleum, and General Motors, reflecting his strategy to seek returns across multiple industries and further expand his asset base.
- Management Transparency: While Trump's portfolio is independently managed by third-party financial institutions, concerns remain regarding the transparency of investment decisions, especially during his presidency, which could influence policy-making.
