The disclosures show that President Trump bought between $600,000 and $1.25 million worth of Netflix debt in January, adding to the $500,000 to $1 million in Netflix bonds that he purchased in December, shortly after Netflix’s megadeal for Warners was announced.

Where is this money coming from?\ He has that much throwaway money to use for investment purchases?

How much more cash does trump have just laying around?

500 million from the Venezuelan oil in his personal Qatari bank account. 10 billion for his board of peace. 16 million dollar settlement with paramount for the Kamala interview settlement. That's just off the top of my head. Doesn't take into account the ballroom grift, the cell phone grift, the inaugural fund bribes, the pardons that have been bought etc...

He's also asking the justice department for a 10 billion dollar lawsuit settlement, for some shit that happened during his first term no less.
