Trump: Last Year’s Gains Were Solely Due to Stock Market Rises, Funds Managed by Professional Institutions

Odaily News: In response to external doubts about profiting from the presidency, U.S. President Trump stated that his gains last year were solely due to the rise of the stock market, adding that "everyone is profiting."

Trump said he holds a substantial amount of funds and cash, but all assets are entrusted to professional institutions for investment management. He does not participate in fund management himself and does not communicate investment decisions with the management institutions. He also stated that he had already amassed significant wealth before becoming president, and remarked, "I don’t know if my career in politics or business has been more successful." (CNBC)
