Trump claims he made hundreds of billions on stocks for the U.S., blasts critics
Trump claims he has made hundreds of billions of dollars on stocks and other holdings for the U.S.A., not himself, and complains he only gets criticized by what he calls the Radical Left.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump said he has made hundreds of billions of dollars on stocks and other holdings for the United States, and complained that political opponents he labels the Radical Left criticize him for it.
Trump made the claim in a post on truthsocial, framing his financial actions as service to the country rather than personal enrichment. The post offered no figures beyond the general assertion of gains, and did not detail the trades, accounts, or holdings involved. An attached image styled to resemble the Oval Office showed monitors with stock-chart graphics, including text reading “BOUGHT:Intel Corporation(Nasdaq: INTC) $20” and “NOW $95.”
Here is the full post on truthsocial: “I do this for our Country, not myself. I’ve made Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks, and many other type Holdings, for the U.S.A., not myself, and all I do is get criticized by the Radical Left Dumocrats. Very unfair, but what can you do! Trump” on September 6, 2026 at 3:17 PM ET.
This is Trump’s 28th message released today, and the last post was 5 minutes ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 36 of his 633 posts over the last 30 days classified as Economy posts.

The term Trump used to describe his critics refers collectively to people who hold left-wing political views considered extreme, such as supporting communism, Marxism, socialism, or other forms of anticapitalism, according to dictionary. The term does not refer to any official political party or coalition, and it can encompass a broad range of political beliefs according to dictionary. Whether someone counts as a member of the Radical Left depends on who uses the term and for what purpose according to dictionary.
Those with right-wing views often use the label in a disparaging way to criticize members of the left wing and their positions, according to dictionary. They especially use the terms to exaggerate such views by making them seem more extreme or dangerous according to dictionary. Some people still identify as members of the Radical Left, especially as a way to highlight their opposition to right-wing politics according to dictionary. Some outlets that identify with the left publish under the banner directly, covering labor disputes, immigration, and international affairs, according to leftvoice. Academic coverage of left-wing politics spans party leadership contests, coalition-building, and debates over extremism according to theconversation.
The Trump administration has moved against groups it associates with the far left. Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged countries to collaborate against what he called a growing threat of left-wing terrorism, hosting representatives from more than 60 countries in Washington, according to BBC Online. The administration has designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist group, and the State Department announced visa restrictions targeting members of what it labels “Far-Left Terrorist and other aligned groups” according to bbc.co.United Kingdom. Eleven Democratic lawmakers questioned whether the focus on left-wing groups might target lawful protests and political opponents according to bbc.co.uk.
