Financial disclosures made this year show President Donald Trump (or at least one of his financial advisors) to be a prolific day trader, buying and selling roughly 4,000 securities in 2026 so far.
Filings with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics show the president has bought, sold and holds many investments, including stocks of companies based here in Cincinnati. Among his picks are some of the region’s eight Fortune 500 companies, which are common staples in many investors’ portfolios.
Apparently, Trump loves Procter & Gamble and is also fond of GE Aerospace – though both appear to have lost him money so far, based on June 1 closing prices. Meanwhile, some of Trump’s biggest winners are small bets on local companies that even some Cincinnatians may not realize are based here.
So what local companies does Trump have a stake in and how much does he own? Here’s a listing:
Trump may have bought nearly $6 million of stock in Cincinnati companies
America’s first billionaire president began his second term with as much as $642,000 worth of stock in Cincinnati area companies, according to an annual report filed in 2025. Disclosures from last year show much of his investing activity in bonds, index funds and fewer stock transactions. But disclosures starting this year record a flurry of stock buying and selling, including 3,600 transactions in just the first quarter.
