While investors and businesses spent the early days of April 2025 fretting over the future of global trade and the economy, President Donald Trump was busy buying into the stock market sell-off he created, CNBC<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

Trump made 327 stock purchases on April 8, 2025, according to a CNBC analysis of the president’s annual financial disclosure for 2025 that includes trades, income and liabilities and was released on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

His flurry of buying came on the tail end of a steep four-day spiral that was sparked by the unveiling of his plan for broad and high tariffs.<\/p>\n

CNBC’s analysis shows Trump’s purchasing focused on the mega-cap technology stocks. He bought between $100,001 and $250,000 in shares of Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Nvidia each on April 8, the disclosures show.<\/p>\n

The April stock trades are just one part of a 927-page disclosure that shows $2.24 billion in revenue in 2025, according to a CNBC analysis, including hundreds of millions of dollars from crypto, more than $290 million from major golf and club properties and over $86 million in legal settlements. Trump also continues to collect income from branded merchandise and has accepted numerous gifts, such as sports tickets.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
