Since returning to the White House in January 2025, US President Donald Trump’s financial choices have drawn attention, with many questioning how he is investing his money. New disclosures released by the US Office of Government Ethics on Wednesday (local time) reveal that Trump has put more than $100 million into bonds.The filings, reported by Al Jazeera, offer a look into how the businessman-turned-president is managing his wealth while in office.The documents, covering the period from Trump’s inauguration on January 21 to August 1, reveal nearly 700 separate bond purchases. These include stakes in major financial institutions such as Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley, alongside investments in corporate giants including Meta, T-Mobile, UnitedHealth and The Home Depot.Trump has also channelled money into a wide range of municipal bonds across several US states, among them New York, Florida and Texas. These bonds help fund public infrastructure projects ranging from hospitals and schools to airports, ports and gas development schemes, ANI stated citing reports.While the disclosures do not specify exact amounts for each transaction, they categorise the investments into broad ranges, from $100,001 to $250,000, and in some cases as high as $1 million to $5 million. The filings, however, did not list any asset sales during the corresponding period.Bonds are a type of fixed-income investment, effectively loans to corporations or public authorities in return for interest payments over time.Under the 1978 Ethics in Government Act, introduced in the wake of the Watergate scandal, American presidents are required to make their finances public, though they are not legally obliged to sell assets that could create conflicts of interest.Most presidents since then have chosen to either put their assets in blind trusts or restrict investments to diversified mutual funds, steps aimed at avoiding ethical controversies. Trump, however, opted to transfer his business interests into a trust run by his children, a decision that has drawn criticism from ethics experts. US media reports, cited by Al Jazeera, showed that Trump and his family were not directly involved in the transactions.As for his salary as the POTUS, Trump may earn more than $600,000, which he said would be donated entirely, repeating the pledge he had made during his first term.
