flag Trump bought $1M in bonds from companies involved in a major merger days after announcement, raising ethics concerns.

flag President Donald Trump purchased up to $1 million in bonds from Netflix and Warner Bros. flag Discovery in December 2025, shortly after the companies announced an $83 billion merger, according to a January 2026 financial disclosure. flag The transactions, part of 189 bond purchases totaling over $100 million, also included bonds from Boeing, General Motors, and municipal entities. flag The White House stated the investments were managed by independent financial advisers, not Trump or his family. flag The move has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, especially as Trump may influence regulatory approval of the merger, which faces competition from a rival bid by Paramount. flag While bondholders are creditors rather than owners, the timing and scale of the purchases have drawn scrutiny amid broader questions about transparency and ethics in presidential financial dealings.
