Trump has made over 1.4 billion dollars off the presidency in his first year.

[JLW]

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS never been a man to ask what he can do for his country. In his second term, as in his first, he is instead testing the limits of what his country can do for him.

He has poured his energy and creativity into the exploitation of the presidency — into finding out just how much money people, corporations and other nations are willing to put into his pockets in hopes of bending the power of the government to the service of their interests.

A review by the editorial board relying on analyses from news organizations shows that Mr. Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view. And they continue to grow.

MR. TRUMP’S HUNGER for wealth is brazen. Throughout the nation’s history, presidents of both parties have taken care to avoid even the appearance of profiting from public service. This president gleefully squeezes American corporations, flaunts gifts from foreign governments and celebrates the rapid growth of his own fortune.

The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

I remember when MAGA went crazy because Hunter Biden sold a few paintings.

The grift continues at the Trump White House.

You want to know what Trump will do next, just follow the money.

And he'd be worth every cent of it too, if it were true.

But it's not.

"According to a recent analysis from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Donald Trump and his family's collective net worth increased by approximately $282 million over the course of 2025, which aligns closely with the first year of his second presidential term. This net gain reflects a combination of substantial profits from cryptocurrency ventures (totaling around $1.4 billion) offset by significant declines in the value of Trump Media & Technology Group stock (down about 66% over the past 12 months) and challenges in real estate holdings due to market shifts like higher interest rates and changing work patterns.

For context on the estimates:

• At the start of 2025 (around January), Bloomberg pegged Trump's personal net worth at roughly $7.08 billion.
• As of January 2026, the family's overall net worth stands at about $6.8 billion, per Bloomberg's calculations, showing the volatility in asset values but an overall modest positive change when viewed annually.

Note that net worth estimates vary across sources (e.g., Forbes currently lists Trump's personal net worth at $6.6 billion, suggesting a slight decline from early 2025 peaks around $7 billion), due to differences in methodology, inclusion of family assets, and the illiquid or speculative nature of holdings like crypto tokens and locked shares. These figures are subject to market fluctuations and may not capture unrealized gains or private debts."

Well at least you’re honest that Trump’s corruption and grift is fine with you. I am sure that you are not the only Trumper one who will say Trump is free to monetize the presidency.

If *biden was any kind of president, he or another democrat could still be there.

But nope.

They couldn't beat Trump. "The worst president ever".

 

[JLW]

Here is an example of Trump’s grift. The sale of our most advanced chips to Qatar:

‘Mr. Trump’s sale of crypto has been by far his biggest moneymaker, according to Reuters. People who hope to influence federal policy, including foreigners, can buy his family’s coins, effectively transferring money to the Trumps, and the deals are often secret. One that has become public: A United Arab Emirates-backed investment firm announced plans last year to deposit $2 billion into a Trump firm — two weeks before the president gave the country access to advanced chips.”

See the link above.

With Trump is always about the money. Screw our national security if Trump can make a buck!

Doesn't matter. The non-cult voters see it as just another scam by a corrupt president, and his cult members don't care. I fear there will be no minds changed. We can only keep our side engaged, and hop there are more of us than the cult member crazies.

What exactly have you found on Trump? All we have is what you call “obvious ”. Do you have data to back it up or do you think your opinion is entitled to be fact?

If you are going to be Democrat, try being accountable for credibility.

I wouldn't trust one word this organization prints.
They have no interest in the truth. Only in pushing a leftist agenda.
They have absolutely no integrity whatsoever. So I'd ignore anything they print.
