Donald Trump Buys Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery Bonds Following Merger Announcement

US President Donald Trump purchased between $1 million and $2 million in corporate bonds from Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery shortly after the companies announced their $83 billion merger deal. Financial disclosures show these purchases occurred on December 12 and 16, alongside other municipal and corporate bond acquisitions. Trump met with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos in December to discuss the deal, which faces a competing bid from Paramount. A White House official stated Trump's portfolio is managed independently without his direct input.
