Elizabeth Warren<\/a> (D-Mass.) to sound the alarm on social media, especially about Nvidia.<\/p>\n \u201cTrump brought the NVIDIA CEO on his trip to China to lobby [President] Xi Jinping to buy advanced AI chips, even though it would create a U.S. national security threat,\u201d Warren wrote Friday on X<\/a>. \u201cIt turns out Trump also bought millions in NVIDIA\u2019s stock.\u201d<\/p>\n In reaction, Eric Trump quoted Warren\u2019s post and claimed that every single asset of his father\u2019s is wrapped up in a blind trust, and called the suggestion that \u201cany member of the Trump family\u201d buys or sells individual stocks \u201ca lie and blatantly false\u201d before asking Warren<\/a>, \u201cPlease be better than this…\u201d<\/p>\n This prompted Beyer\u2019s response, which pointed to the disclosure form.<\/p>\n Alex Brandon\/Associated Press<\/p>\n The 113-page document shows Donald Trump engaged in 2,345 purchases of mostly individual stocks this year and in 1,296 sales of the same.
