NEW YORK, April ⁠25 (Reuters) - ⁠U.S. President Donald ⁠Trump bought at least $51 million in ​bonds in March, according to financial disclosures released on ‌Saturday, with the purchases ‌spanning several sectors.

• Trump carried out 175 ⁠financial ⁠transactions last month, according to forms released by the ​U.S. Office of Government Ethics. The forms don't include exact values for each sale or purchase, only ​a range of values for each.

• Most of the ⁠assets ⁠disclosed were municipal bonds ⁠issued ​by states, counties, school districts and other entities with ​ties to government ⁠agencies or public-private partnerships.

• His 26 largest transactions, in the $1 million to $5 million range, were mainly municipal bonds or U.S. Treasuries, although two ⁠of the deals listed were purchases of corporate offerings from ⁠Weyerhaeuser and General Motors. He also invested in an exchange-traded fund tracking a high-yield bond index.

I asked: how many kids could be fed for $51 million dollars??


Maybe dear leader will give the 51M to charities??????????




AI Summary

To determine how many kids could be fed for $51 million, consider the following points:

Average cost to feed a child for a day is approximately $2.
$51 million divided by $2 equals 25.5 million meals.
If a child is fed three meals a day, that covers about 8.5 million children for one day.
For a month, this could feed approximately 280,000 children.
For a year, it could provide meals for around 23,000 children.
The actual number may vary based on local food costs and nutritional needs.

4. He no longer controls the "Trump Hotel" in Washington DC, where many of his bribes were dropped in his 1st term

What's a guy supposed to do? The donations just aren't coming in like they did before.
No more rallies, no more grifting campaigns either. He's got to make it up somehow.

Justice matters.
