In a jaw-dropping financial play, Donald Trump has quietly bought at least $82 million worth of municipal and corporate bonds between late August and early October โ and experts are reading this loud and clear ๐: heโs betting interest rates are going down.
Hereโs the tea (and why itโs going viral):
๐ Whatโs Going On
His disclosures show 175+ bond purchases in that short time frame.
These arenโt random โ many are municipal (states, counties, school districts) and corporate bonds from companies like Broadcom, Qualcomm, Meta, Home Depot, CVS, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and even Intel.
According to filings, the max possible value of these bond buys could shoot up to $337 million.
๐ก Why It Signals Rate Cuts
When interest rates fall, existing bonds (especially fixed-rate ones) go up in value. Trumpโs big move into bonds suggests he expects rates to drop, so his bond holdings could appreciate nicely.
By loading up now, heโs positioning himself to ride the wave โ if rates drop, he wins.
Some analysts see this as โsmart moneyโ making a preemptive play, not a gamble.
โ ๏ธ Bigger Picture
This isnโt just a financial bet โ it could be politically motivated, too. Trump has a high-profile interest in pushing for lower rates, and this move could align his personal financial interests with policy goals.
The types of bonds heโs buying โ especially municipal ones โ could reflect a broader strategy, not just for profit but influence.
