Trump's investment account allegedly earned over $1.5 million from energy stock trades amid geopolitical tensions.

ME News reports that on September 9 (UTC+8), Trump’s investment account was revealed to have executed 23 “oracle-like” trades over the past six months—buying at the opening of hostilities, precisely timing a bottom before a pause in strikes, and exiting entirely after hostilities resumed—resulting in over $1 million in unrealized gains. According to reports, during the first six months of ongoing geopolitical conflict, Trump’s investment account generated substantial returns through active trading in energy stocks. His positions spanned nine major U.S. energy companies, significantly benefiting from panic-driven supply disruptions caused by the conflict. A report released in August by Democratic staff of the U.S. Congressional Joint Economic Committee (JEC) provided an even higher estimate, calculating that Trump’s broader oil and gas investment portfolio had increased in value by up to $15.5 million this year. The report quickly sparked political backlash. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized Trump, stating that his actions this year provoked conflict with Iran, directly fueling surges in oil and gas stocks, while his own massive holdings reaped disproportionate gains.
