President Donald Trump boasted Sunday that he has made “Hundreds of Billions of Dollars” on stocks and other holdings, insisting he does it for the country rather than his own benefit.

The president’s comments came amid a spree of Sunday Truth Social posts — 37 so far — that included a torrent of memes and AI-generated images. Among the more bizarre were images of Trump commanding an army of giant robots with the messages “GIVE THEM NIGHTMARES” and “THEY WILL DREAM OF US FOREVER,” as well as one showing a fighter jet approaching an exploding Kharg Island with the caption “Bye bye, Kharg.”

He also shared images portraying himself as a muscular Hulk Hogan lookalike, bashing “jerk” Robert De Niro, hosting George Washington in the Oval Office, claiming the moon for the United States, and literally reshaping Iran in his own image.

As for the post in question, though, Trump wrote:

I do this for our Country, not myself. I’ve made Hundreds of Billions of Dollars on Stocks, and many other type Holdings, for the U.S.A., not myself, and all I do is get criticized by the Radical Left Dumocrats. Very unfair, but what can you do! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Alongside his message, the president shared an AI-generated image of himself apparently day-trading from the White House, with monitors showing an Intel investment soaring from $20 to $95.

The Intel reference was particularly notable given that Trump’s investment accounts purchased shares of the chipmaker several times earlier this year, even though his administration holds a 10% stake in the company on behalf of the U.S. government. The president’s accounts have made thousands of stock trades since he returned to office, though the White House has maintained that they are independently managed and that Trump does not direct the transactions.

Beyond Intel, the president has also urged Americans to buy stock in Dell, after the computer company’s founder Michael Dell helped the president launch his Trump Accounts; Dell’s stock is up more than 300% since the start of the year.

Trump’s latest financial disclosure, meanwhile, showed he personally made at least $2.2 billion in 2025.
