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

Odaily Planet Daily News In response to external questions about profiting from his presidency, U.S. President Trump stated that his gains last year were purely the result of a rising stock market, emphasizing "everyone is making profits."

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