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

[JLW]

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."

So I asked Grok how much Trump has profited off the first year of the presidency and this is what it wrote:

“According to a detailed investigation by The New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family have profited approximately $3.4 billion from his presidencies, with the majority—around $2.5 billion—attributable to deals and ventures enabled or enhanced during the first year of his second term in 2025. This figure focuses on income streams that likely would not have existed without his presidential status, using conservative estimates based on financial disclosures, reported revenues, industry benchmarks (e.g., profit margins), and present-value calculations for future earnings. It excludes pre-presidency assets, unrelated businesses, or unrealized paper gains like stock fluctuations.

Other analyses provide varying but overlapping estimates for gains tied to his presidency in 2025:

• NPR, drawing on the same New Yorker reporting, describes the total as almost $4 billion "off of the presidency" in just about a year.
• The New York Times editorial board estimates at least $1.4 billion as a minimum, noting it's an underestimate and excluding hidden profits.
• Forbes reports a $3 billion net worth increase during 2025 (from $4.3 billion to $7.3 billion), largely driven by presidency-enabled ventures.
• The Center for American Progress tracks $1.8 billion in cash and gifts received over about 442 days, plus $7.5 billion in unrealized "paper worth" from crypto (not yet cashed out).
• Bloomberg notes $1.4 billion added to the family's wealth from digital assets in the past year, making up about one-fifth of their $6.8 billion total fortune.”

Grok has Trump profiting off the presidency more than the Times!

You asked the wrong question. The question is how much did Trump profit off the presidency not how much his wealth increased or decreased.

Nobody really cares. If it bothers you so much, go stand out on the sidewalk with a cardboard sign.

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.

The grift continues at the Trump White House.

[candycorn]

lay it out. What did he do and how did he profit from it? Be specific.

Here is the grift that is known about...

1. A hotel in Oman. An office tower in western India. A golf course on the outskirts of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. These are a few of the more than 20 overseas projects the Trump Organization is pursuing, often requiring cooperation with foreign governments. These deals have made millions for the Trumps, according to Reuters. And the administration has sometimes treated those same governments favorably. One example: The administration agreed to lower its threatened tariffs on Vietnam about a month after a Trump Organization project broke ground on a $1.5 billion golf complex outside of Hanoi. Vietnamese officials ignored their own laws to fast-track the project.
2. The Trumps are pocketing $28 million from Amazon for a documentary about Melania Trump. Amazon paid far more for the rights to “Melania” than the next highest bidder — and far more than the company has previously paid for similar projects, according to The Wall Street Journal. Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s chairman and one of the world’s richest people, has many reasons to curry favor with the administration, including antitrust regulation, Amazon’s defense contracts and his space company’s federal contracts.
3. Major tech and media companies have paid Mr. Trump $90.5 million in settlements since his re-election. The settlements have come from X, ABC News, Meta, YouTube and Paramount. None of them were justified on the merits. Paramount, for example, agreed to pay the president $16 million for what he claimed was the deceptive editing of a 2024 Kamala Harris interview. The editing was a normal part of journalism. Three weeks later, the Federal Communications Commission approved an $8 billion merger with Skydance.
4. Qatar gave Mr. Trump a $400 millionjet that he will use as Air Force One while president and plans to take with
   him after leaving office. Mr. Trump seemed to acknowledge that the gift would influence his treatment of Qatar. “We are going to protect this country,” he said in Doha shortly after Qatar offered the plane. Mr. Trump has said he expects to transfer the plane to his presidential library after leaving office.
5. The Trumps have made at least $867 million through various cryptocurrencies. 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.

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.

TMZ has far more credibility than NYT.

TMZ has far more credibility than NYT.

Oh, no question. Far more.

Of course you do.

 

[Concerned American]

I wonder what mining and oil stocks he and his family are buying.

Wow, and suddenly you're interested in the trading policies of those elected officials. LOL, you couldn't be bothered when Piglosi was outperforming everybody else while she was in office. Your indignation seems to be very selective, six.
