Trump Made 94 Magnificent Seven Trades in Q1 — Net Bought Apple and Google, Sold Tesla, Bought Nvidia Before Meta Partnership

President Trump executed 94 trades of Magnificent Seven stocks in Q1 2026, totaling $50 million to $70 million across 64 buys and 30 sales. He was a net buyer of Apple and Alphabet and a net seller of Tesla. One trade stands out: a Nvidia purchase at least a week before Nvidia announced a major partnership with Meta.

Trump's Q1 2026 ethics disclosure, released last week, shows the president's account executed 94 transactions in Magnificent Seven stocks. The Trump Organization says all trades are overseen by third-party financial institutions without any input from Trump or his family. "Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization plays any role in selecting, directing, or approving specific investments," the organization stated.

Net Buyers: Apple and Alphabet. Net Seller: Tesla.

A Yahoo Finance analysis of the disclosure found the following Q1 positioning:

• Apple (AAPL): 8 purchases vs 1 sale — net buys of $2M to $7.2M
• Alphabet (GOOG): All purchases — net buys of $1.5M to $3.1M
• Tesla (TSLA): Net seller (more sales than purchases)
• Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon: 12+ transactions each — net direction unclear from broad-range disclosures

Because the disclosure only reports transactions in broad value ranges, precise net position changes are not calculable. Apple and Alphabet show clear net buying; Tesla shows clear net selling.

The Most Scrutinized Trade: Nvidia Before the Meta Partnership

Ethics watchdogs have zeroed in on one specific trade. Trump's account purchased at least $1 million in Nvidia stock on February 10. Approximately one week later, Nvidia announced a strategic partnership with Meta to build AI infrastructure.

The Trump Organization did not respond to Yahoo Finance's questions about the Magnificent Seven trades specifically. The White House reiterated its position that the president has no involvement in investment decisions.

Context: 3,700+ Total Trades in Q1

The Magnificent Seven activity is part of a larger picture. The full Q1 ethics disclosure covers more than 3,700 trades. During the same period, Trump held meetings with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and other Big Tech leaders.

The conflict-of-interest concern stems from the president simultaneously meeting with these companies on policy matters and executing trades in their stocks. U.S. presidents are technically exempt from insider trading laws, but ethics experts note the appearance of conflicts remains significant.
