Trump bought $1M in Netflix, Warner Bros. bonds after merger announcement
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/01/16/trump-bought-1m-netflix-warner-bros-bonds-after-merger-announcement/ARCHIVE: https://archive.ph/EMIUE
President Donald Trump bought more than $1 million worth of corporate bonds from Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery only weeks after the media giants announced a $83 billion merger deal that could reshape Hollywood.
According to a financial disclosure form released Friday by the White House, Trump purchased bonds on Dec. 12 and 16 from Netflix and Discovery, which merged with WarnerMedia to form Warner Bros. Discovery in 2022.
Trump spent between $1 million and $2 million on the bonds, a fraction of the roughly $100 million in purchases, mostly in municipal bonds, that the president disclosed Friday. The disclosure covers transactions made from Nov. 14 to Dec. 19.
A White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share details, said Trump’s investment decisions are not made by the president.
