I hear some Trumpeteers crowing that Trump does not take a salary for his presidency. Ha ha. He can’t be bothered. The salary is peanuts.
The Trump family has reportedly earned an estimated unbelievable $3.4 billion across Donald Trump’s two presidencies, according to multiple investigative reports2. Here’s how that staggering figure breaks down:
đź’° Sources of Income
- Cryptocurrency ventures: Around $2.37 billion, including branded crypto projects and investments.
- Financial investments: Approximately $339.6 million, largely managed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
- Hospitality (e.g., Mar-a-Lago): At least $270.8 million, with initiation fees at Mar-a-Lago reportedly rising to $1 million after Trump’s election.
- Media and merchandise: About $116 million from MAGA-branded products, books, and even a “God Bless the USA” Bible.
- Other sources: An additional $277.7 million from legal fees, private jet usage, and licensing deals.
🧠Ethical Concerns
Critics argue that Trump blurred the lines between public office and private gain, especially through his children’s management of business transactions that avoided traditional disclosure requirements. Jared Kushner, for instance, received a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia into his firm, Affinity Partners, which some view as a potential conflict of interest.
Surely this is corruption?
Talk about draining the swamp. Nobody has ever profiteered on this scale!
You forgot to mention the airplane. This 2 billion dollar crypto deal is the topper. Perhaps the democrats can get control of congress and then we could impeach him again for what it’s worth. Still would need to regain majority in senate and supreme court and then….. it certainly is a bad situation.
He’s taken over the whole democratic process hasn’t he. Very scary. Biden should have bunged in a dozen more judges on to the supreme court while he had the chance.
Matter of luck with the judges dying and trump was lucky with that too. Ruth Nader Ginsberg could’ve retired earlier. It ain’t over til it’s over, so we keep fighting at least in our hearts.
Biden could have expanded the Supreme Court couldn’t he?
Maybe, but not quite kosher. Wow, how they’ve succeeded in destroying him – who was a decent enough president – and labeled him as bad bad somehow. Anyway
They twist everything. Kirk – the racist, misogynist – good. Biden the saviour of the economy bad.
