Trump Posts Second AI-Generated Image Claiming 'Hundreds of Billions' in Intel Stock Gains

President Trump posted an AI-generated image to Truth Social early Monday, September 7, 2026, depicting himself day-trading Intel stock from $20 to $95 a share, captioned with a claim of making 'Hundreds of Billions of Dollars.' It was the second time Trump shared the identical image style — an earlier version last September showed Intel rising from $20 to $30, after the government took a 9.9% stake in the chipmaker. Intel shares closed at $95.80 on September 4 and touched $95.89 two days later, nearly quadrupling off a 52-week low of $24.05, but the largest documented paper gain the government holds on record is roughly $33 billion — far short of Trump's 'hundreds of billions' claim, which he did not substantiate with specific holdings or a time period. Ethics watchdogs have flagged the pattern of Trump publicly touting stocks the government holds a stake in.
