Trump’s Q1 2026 Portfolio Reveals Surprising Bets on DIS and NFLX Despite Public Criticism

Former President Donald Trump's investment portfolio for Q1 2026 disclosed unexpected positions in entertainment giants Disney (DIS) and Netflix (NFLX), both of which have faced his vocal criticism in recent years. The Trump Organization emphasized that trades are executed by third-party institutions without input from Trump or his family, yet the timing raises eyebrows given his simultaneous regulatory pressure on Disney.

Disney shares traded 13 times in Trump's account despite his FCC launching an early license review of Disney-owned stations and his repeated calls for Jimmy Kimmel's termination. Netflix, another target of Trump's past critiques, also appeared in the portfolio. Both stocks remain down year-to-date, leaving market watchers questioning whether political influence could catalyze a turnaround.
