Buy low, post high: Trump touted Nvidia, Tesla, Apple days after snapping up shares 🧾

A CNN investigation found that President Donald Trump promoted more than 20 publicly traded companies on his Truth Social account within days of purchasing stock in those same firms, including Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple, according to a report published by CNN. The pattern has renewed scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest tied to the president's personal financial disclosures and his use of social media while in office.

Among the more than 20 instances identified, the report highlighted a 2025 post in which Trump announced that his administration would expedite a permitting process tied to Apple, shortly after acquiring shares in the company. Similar timing was documented between promotional posts and share purchases for Nvidia and Tesla, according to CNN's review of public disclosures and Truth Social posts.

The report's findings come as the CLARITY Act, pending federal market-structure legislation, has become entangled in a dispute over an ethics provision designed to limit the president's involvement in crypto-related ventures. Critics cited by CNN argue that the disclosure patterns raise questions about whether official actions and public statements are being timed around personal financial positions.

CNN's investigation is based on a review of Trump's public financial disclosure forms, Truth Social postings, and corporate filings. The network reported at least 20 instances in which Truth Social posts about a specific company appeared within several days of a corresponding stock purchase disclosed in public records.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment, according to CNN. Representatives for Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple also had not issued public statements as of the network's publication.
