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.

      All advice about money is financial advice. Whether it’s good or bad is something only your own morality can decide.
      Personally, though, me supporting, enabling, or making money from a child rapist is definitely not acceptable.

      Then when I add on all the other shit about the numerous crimes, the sex assaults and rapes, the racism and fascism etc etc, it becomes a no brainer.
