The surprise comes from Trump’s claim that, since resuming office, he has generated ‘hundreds of billions’ for the United States, not for himself. This rhetoric flips the usual expectation that a leader’s profit motive would be separate from public benefit.

Yahoo and Yahoo Finance reported Trump’s promotion of Intel (INTC) stock, noting that shares jumped from $20 to $95 and that he posted AI‑generated images on Truth Social to illustrate the gain. The Guardian connected the claim to a sharp decline in his approval rating as his fortune rises. qz.com highlighted a ten‑hour session of AI image posting, while The Sunday Guardian issued a fact‑check on the Intel‑stock narrative.

People.com and Yahoo News Canada echoed the president’s assertion that the earnings are ‘for our country.’ Observers will watch whether regulators or financial disclosures verify the alleged stock profits and how the controversy influences Trump’s approval trajectory. The next reports may clarify the legitimacy of the Intel‑related gains and any official response to the president’s self‑described patriotic investing.
