Donald Trump bought at least $1m worth of bonds in Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), according to a financial disclosure form, days after he said would “be involved” in a proposed merger between the two companies.
The White House released a financial disclosure report on Friday which showed that Trump made two purchases from Netflix and two purchases from WBD, each amounting to at least $502,000.
Trump bought the bonds on 12 December and 16 December, a little more than a week after Netflix agreed to buy WDB in an $82.7bn deal.
The purchase is subject to regulatory clearance and is sure to raise eyebrows given Trump has said he will be engaged in that process.
“They have a very big market share,” Trump told reporters at the Kennedy Center on 7 December, two days after the deal was announced and five days before he began to purchase Netflix and WBD bonds.
Why is he still trying so hard to get all this dirty money? The dude is so old that he could drop of natural causes at any time (and corrupt enough that unnatural causes seems equally likely). You can’t take that shit with you, Donnie.
I guess that’s the only thing he has though, eh?
It’s mental illness. Same as hoarding.
Have you met a billionaire before!? They’re soulless husks. Acquiring more capital is probably what gets him out of the bed in the morning, they never think what to do with it! For the good of society they literally should not exist…
