A financial disclosure form revealed that Donald Trump acquired at least $1 million in bonds from Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery (WBD). These purchases occurred days after he publicly stated he would be "be involved" in a proposed merger between the two companies.The White House released the financial disclosure report on a Friday, indicating Trump made two separate purchases from Netflix and two from WBD, each valued at a minimum of $502,000. The bonds were bought on December 12 and December 16, shortly after Netflix announced its agreement to acquire WBD in an $82.7 billion deal.The timing of these bond purchases, coinciding with Trump's public comments on the merger, may attract scrutiny, particularly since the deal requires regulatory approval. On December 7, two days after the merger announcement and five days before his bond acquisitions, Trump told reporters, "When they have Warner Bros, that share goes up a lot. So, I don’t know. That’s going to be for some economists to tell and also – and I’ll be involved in that decision too. But they have a very big market share."The Netflix-WBD deal has drawn criticism from various US politicians and organizations. Senator Elizabeth Warren described it as "an anti-monopoly nightmare," and the Writers Guild of America expressed concerns that it would "eliminate jobs, push down wages, worsen conditions for all entertainment workers, raise prices for consumers, and reduce the volume and diversity of content for all viewers."The disclosure also showed that Trump purchased approximately $100 million in municipal and corporate bonds between mid-November and late December. During the first half of his second term, he reportedly acquired over $100 million in company, state, and municipal bonds, including those from Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo.An unnamed administration official reportedly informed the Washington Post that Trump's "stock and bond portfolio is independently managed by third-party financial institutions." The official further stated that "Neither President Trump nor any member of his family has any ability to direct, influence, or provide input regarding how the portfolio is invested or when investments are bought or sold."
