Trump: Last Year's Gains Due Only to Stock Market Rise, Funds Managed by Professional Institutions

Odaily reported that U.S. President Trump, responding to external questions about profiting from his presidency, stated that his gains last year were solely due to the stock market's rise, adding that "everyone is making profits."

Trump stated that he holds significant funds and cash, but all assets are entrusted to professional institutions for investment management. He said he does not personally participate in fund management nor does he communicate investment decisions with the management institutions. He also noted that he had already amassed substantial wealth before becoming president and remarked, "I don't know whether my career has been more successful in politics or in business." (CNBC)
