President Trump's Stock Trades Include Procter & Gamble and Other Cincinnati-Based Companies Financial disclosures made in 2026 reveal that President Donald Trump has been actively engaged in day trading, with his financial advisors executing approximately 4,000 securities transactions throughout the year. Filings with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics show the president has bought, sold, and holds investments in multiple companies, including several based in Cincinnati. These include major corporations like Procter & Gamble, GE Aerospace, and smaller regional firms. While some of his larger bets have underperformed, smaller investments in local companies have yielded positive returns. Among Trump’s most substantial holdings is Procter & Gamble, a Cincinnati-based consumer goods company known for brands such as Tide, Pampers, and Gillette. Financial records show his stake in the company has grown significantly since 2025, with holdings increasing from $204,000 to $642,000 in 2025 to between $1.2 million and $5.4 million in 2026. However, the stock has declined by 2-14% since the dates of his purchases, despite P&G’s reputation as a “safety stock” during economic uncertainty. Higher gas prices and inflation have reportedly pressured the company’s performance. GE Aerospace, another major Cincinnati-based investment, has also seen mixed results. Trump’s holdings in the manufacturer of commercial and military jet engines have at least doubled since 2025, with additional purchases in 2026 totaling $82,000 to $230,000. However, his largest transaction has lost 6% of its value, though smaller trades have partially offset these losses. Cintas, a provider of uniforms and business services, is another company in Trump’s portfolio.#president_trump #ge_aerospace #procter_gamble #cintas #phillips_edison
