Kura Sushi wasn't the only restaurant Trump invested in during the period. He also reported purchases of Chipotle (between $500,000 and $1 million), Domino's Pizza ($250,000 to $500,000) and Starbucks ($50,000 to $100,000).

If Trump confused Kura Sushi with tech company Fujikura, it would mark the second time the president seemingly mixed up businesses with disastrous results.
