Trumps stock portfolio, the May filing shows, included shares in a number of banks, oil giants and other companies with business pending before the U.S. government and whose value could rise due to Trumps decisions in office.
Trump told Fox Business News in August that he was dumping stocks because he predicted the market was crashing, saying, I did invest, and I got out, and it was actually very good timing. Despite Trumps August comments, stock prices have generally been on the rise since June.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The Post last month that Trump had in June also sold his shares in Energy Transfer Partners, the majority stakeholder in the $3.7 billion Dakota Access pipeline project that has drawn protests from environmentalists and Native Americans.

He got out because he knows that his policies will eventually crash the market.
