Trump Had a Billion-Dollar Windfall After Returning to the White House

nvshrink.bsky.social4

$2.2 billion is just what we know about. We don't know how much has been kicked back to him from the no-bid contracts or how much he has skimmed from corporate donations to his vanity projects.

Jake Larson4

Are you kidding ? That’s only what we know about.

dianecheyanne.bsky.social3

Ugh! He's so damn greedy.

wheelman911.bsky.social3

Where’s the surprising part of begin?

Trout Fisher2

I want to know how much he made selling pardons.

MJ 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈37

He’s made more money since he’s been president than he ever made in business.

Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot35

He made/stole millions last time and nobody cared. Why would he change now?

Courtney 🦊27

He also said he doesn’t talk to the people in charge of his finances while he’s president. Meanwhile his sons are right behind him, the very people in charge of it. 🤦‍♀️

Frank Amari 22

The Trump family has really mastered the old motto that there is a sucker born every minute:

Common Sense Only18

If he's talking he's lying.

KJ Serafin🌱8

Crypto is nothing. A promise? An idea? A bit of math works? Also, if 🍊🤡 had earnings from trading/selling crypto, he’s supposed to pay taxes on it. Something he fights tooth and nail not to do. Maybe we can get him on tax fraud like we did with Capone.

Otis Redfoot7

I thought it was good at laundering money.

Deb Knox7

Absolutely no value. He fleeced a bunch of people of their money 💰

The word “make” gets thrown around a lot. When someone goes into their shop and takes raw materials and produces something useful or beautiful they are making something. When someone “makes” money, especially when we are talking about billions it is usually simply theft of other people’s labor.

Cheeky Alpha Monkey5

People bought his crypto coin thinking the value is going up, once the value had gone to the figure Dumpster had in his head he „cashed in“ Took all those folks money, he’s a fkn thief

Dave N.22

The corporate media spent weeks debating whether a check Biden received from his brother while not in office was an impeachable offense.

Anti-SS 🍺 🍻10

I can't fathom how much money this Trump Fam is vacuuming-up during this Tenure. Billions!

nicegitch.bsky.social5

What did his voters and the rest of the country get?

David4

That is how they pay for his services because everyone else lost money. The $TRUMP souvenir memecoins spiked to over $74 shortly after launch but have since plummeted to $1.68 (an 80%+ drop). The World Liberty Financial tokens have similarly lost roughly 80% of their value since they began trading

Bullwinkle President3

And the people at CNBC NEVER say anything on air about it CNBFOX!

Daniel W-Watts3

I guarantee Trump is also the one using the Polymarket to place bets on foreign affairs.

Orry K2

Total grifter, getting his revenge by getting everything he can from his position as the worst President the US has ever hadm

Grumpy 💙 European 🪶2

He‘s not making $1bn „from crypto“. He issues access tokens to the US government by „selling crypto“. The buyers do not expect anything other than access and control, so they don‘t care about the value of the TrumpCoins. It is all transactional. US power is for sale. ꓯSꓵ

Andy Smart1

I fear that for too many voters in the US and now UK, the corruption is priced into their expectations. All of the 'services', banks, insurers, supermarket chains are ripping us off so obviously politicians too. At least Trump and Farage offer a little entertainment while they pick our pockets!

materialmatters.bsky.social1

Old school here: Seems a primary responsibility of Office of Presidency would be to defend the paper that makes the system go. Not promote an alternative currency

Joe Sabol1

Is it fair to say, a deal to buy/sell something before/after T says something to react the markets.

barbbyron.bsky.social4

I wouldn't use the word "earned", but otherwise...

Felix4

I'm sure the list of charities that will receive all of this revenue will soon be revealed, right? Since his most staunch supporters continue to claim to this day he is not profiting off the presidency? Maybe we'll see them just after his tax returns are released, which should also be any moment...

kakewags.bsky.social3

He hasn’t EARNED anything in his life!

5pennyj.bsky.social3

It's disgusting and no one is doing anything to stop it. He's going to steal everything in the treasury if he gets a chance.

Pedro Gonnet2

"Earned" is quite the euphemism here.

Billy Juggernaut Antifa6

And it’s probably not truthful. He’s obviously not putting his embezzlement money in there.

SpacemanSpiff5

MAGA: "He's donating his presidential salary!!!"

Blue Woman Voting 📎3

Michael Sherman laying out how Trump spent the four years Joe was President setting up grifting opportunities for his 2nd term; Trump was pretty confident he was going to win.

MMMurray3

I get the feeling the entire Trump Organization will come tumbling down once DJT is no longer POTUS. Influence is all that he is selling.

rngtrik.bsky.social2

Remember when he thanked Justice Robert on Inauguration Day?

mmk93.bsky.social7

Democrats this stuff is just falling in your lap. USE IT!!!

navare-man.bsky.social4

Remember: this didn’t happen by accident. Republicans at every level — local, state, and federal — enabled it, defended it, and wrote the rules that let it happen. This November, flush out the corruption and incompetence.

Insider dealing, gifts on demand and widespread corruption would probably be a more accurate answer. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/w...

"Everybody is profiting" says Trump in 21214.png, but critics note the game is rigged. While he cleared $1.4B+ in crypto in 2025 via deregulatory policies, his former personal lawyer running the DOJ (Acting AG Todd Blanche) ensures he & his family face zero future financial prosecution.

Crying for my country2

Well you manage the policies that allow your companies to profit. Very unethical. Just over 50% of Americans have investments in the stock market. Mostly in retirement funds. The rest of America is not benefiting from this and are feeling the effects of inflation.

political-rick.bsky.social1

Isn’t the answer for all decent people to boycott these companies? I’ve stopped all streaming and YouTube and it has only improved my life.

chris quixote1

The amounts involved are small compared to his crypto gains, but this is a particularly repellent form of corruption.

Jeff Wise1

It's really wild that the President of the US can't be sued or prosecuted, because being involved in legal proceedings would distract him from his important work. But he can sue anybody he wants, & use the tremendous power of his office to force a settlement on whatever terms he wants.

Gill Tate4

Some excellent contributions in this debate - I especially like Ellie Chowns wording 👇 bsky.app/profile/loyd...

Tonksey4

That’s all he’s ever been interested in. The role he’s played has been only to that end and will play it until it has no value.

Dr. Shelly W8

Corruption on an unprecedented scale

Jules3

Horrifying. Vile crypto. Will be reading.

pcrritesgood.bsky.social2

He was BRIBED with at least $2 billion. Just fucking say it. These are bribes that this career money launderer has laundered through his crypto scheme and other shady shit. He is a fucking crook and a grifter and he is stealing from the American people. Do your job and report the facts.

blackbirdchi.bsky.social2

“Pulled in” Let’s see what headline the @nytimes.com uses when Dem Presidents use their position to profit off the presidency

Stan Bileschi1

Its our money. Its theft from the american taxpayer. Freeze and impound the assets. —- Fwiw $1B is more than if you earned median wage for every day since 1776 and invested every penny at 5% compound interest

randyc25.bsky.social1

This case study of corruption should be the basis for the next Congress to enact enforceable laws to stop it

Zvyozdochka 🇦🇺 🇨🇦 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇬🇱1

Are the purchased pardons in that stream or is that a separate fund ...
