President Donald Trump bought and sold roughly 4,000 securities in 2026 so far, and financial disclosures this year also show he promoted companies on Truth Social days after buying their stocks. The filings with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics put a hard number on a trading pattern that is unusually busy for a sitting president.
3,600 stock transactions were recorded in the first quarter alone. That pace leaves little doubt about how active Trump has been as an investor, while also showing that the Cincinnati area is not just a political backdrop but part of his portfolio.
Trump and Cincinnati stocks
$642,000 was the value of stock in Cincinnati area companies that Trump began his second term with, according to an annual report filed in 2025. The filings include companies based in Cincinnati, and Trump owns some of the region’s eight Fortune 500 companies.
2025 filings showed much of Trump’s investing activity in bonds, index funds and fewer stock transactions. This year’s disclosures mark a different mix: more direct stock trading and a heavier concentration of securities moves, which makes the current filings easier to read as an active trading record rather than a passive holdings list.
Procter & Gamble and GE Aerospace
Procter & Gamble and GE Aerospace appear to have lost Trump money so far, based on June 1 closing prices. Trump apparently loves Procter & Gamble and is also fond of GE Aerospace, but the price moves leave both positions in the red on that date.
The practical question for readers in the Cincinnati market is whether the next filings will show the same pattern or a shift in the names he holds. If Trump keeps trading at this pace, the disclosures will keep surfacing how often presidential investing overlaps with local corporate names, and which of those bets are still underwater.
