Trump Had a Billion-Dollar Windfall After Returning to the White House
“.. The returns .. highlight a conflict in the president’s crypto business: Not only is Mr. Trump a major crypto industry operator, but he is also its top policymaker.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...
"bUT hE dOEsn'T taKE A sALArY!"
The corporate media spent weeks debating whether a check Biden received from his brother while not in office was an impeachable offense.
I can't fathom how much money this Trump Fam is vacuuming-up during this Tenure. Billions!
What did his voters and the rest of the country get?
And the people at CNBC NEVER say anything on air about it CNBFOX!
Does he pay tax taxes on any of this or has he worked out a way for it to be tax free?
Its not a conflict of interest it is literally a direct violation of the constitution
Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm to avoid conflicts
They made Jimmy Carter put his peanut farm into a blind trust
~fascinante~ como o New York Times chama de ~~~ganho inesperado~~~ o fato do Trump ter ganhado bilhões de forma flagrantemente corrupta e ilegal no segundo governo dele. Mas, né, tudo é fácil demais pra extrema-direita...
A windfall, you say! What a stroke of good fortune for him! A lucky man.
doesn’t sound like there’s much of a conflict. seems pretty harmonious to me.
Trump’s $2.2 billion dollar crypto “profit” isn’t from public purchases, they’re bribes. The scandal isn’t that Trump made that much money, it’s that he’s manufactured one scam after another that has made it possible for the wealthy and other nations to bribe him with impunity.
Also should be mentioned that Trump’s crypto haul is likely being used to launder money and at some point, if we fight our way out of this and the full story emerges, we’re likely to find that there has been a full-scale organized crime syndicate operating using American power.
Is it fair to say, a deal to buy/sell something before/after T says something to react the markets.
President Trump reaped at least $2.2 billion from his family’s holdings last year, a new filing shows.
The sheer level of brazen corruption is beyond shocking.
Not “a” billion. POTUS and his family have made several billions from his return to the WH. They are robbing us blind.
I guess this is why he doesn't think affordability is a big deal.
I had to do a double take of the word "reaped" lololol, anyone else?
Not just “a” billion. Several. POTUS, his family & friends are robbing us blind.
remember when that kind of thing was a scandal dont worry, it will be again once the dems take office
$2.2 billion is only a fraction of what Trump gained from his presidency, does not includes the $billions that went to his sons (his college-age boy made $100s of millions), nor the $1 billion we spent on his plane, nor the slush fund he set up in Qatar, nor free land he got for his library, etc.
I hope he dies a pauper during a lifetime prison sentence.
I’m not a huge proponent of the idea that all billionaires are psychopaths. But certainly some of them are. Ceaselessly devoting yourself to amassing wealth by bilking it out of your devotees, knowing you’ll never spend it and be dead within the next 20 years…that’s psychosis.
President Donald Trump reported more than $1 billion in income from his family's crypto ventures last year. That's according to an annual financial disclosure released on Tuesday.
That includes more than $500 million from World Liberty Financial, which he and his sons co-founded. And more than $600 million from "Trump" meme coins.
If that's what he's admitting how much is he hiding 🧐
So... he has plenty of money to pay for his ballroom. Right?
In comparison, Carter put his beloved family farm in a blind trust during his term.
Crooks and thieves!! This is a bankrupt crime family stealing America blind!! There will be consequences!!
Theft. Crypto has no value, save to give money to scammers.
Trump has monetized the presidency far more than any before him, reaping a stunning windfall in his first year back in the White House, including about $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...
NYT still heavily normalizing this and unable to call corruption for what it is. NYT mistakenly thinks it's professional to not stand up for objective facts when they have political implications.
Trump will be 82 when he leaves the White House. Even if he is charged with his crimes on 1/20/29, with the cloud of “presidential immunity” and “official acts”, it’ll be years before he goes to trial, and even if convicted, years before he serves with appeals. In other words, he got away with it.
I don't know if "far more" is fair to the previous presidents. I'd say like no other president in history. Not even close. Not by 10 miles.
I am so tired of this corrupt old f*ck. It’s way past time for Congress ( I know!) to remove him from office. And the next administration seizes all his illegally gained assets, and distributes that to offset the damage he has done. Impeach, Convict & Remove the MoFo! NO pardons from Vance.
Corruption pure and simple, aided by the GOP.
Crypto is a scam and anyone offering it is a scammer
All told, the president pulled in at least $2.2 billion in 2025, a figure that includes other parts of his vast holdings, such as his real estate assets. That compares to a minimum of $622 million his enterprises pulled in for all of 2024, before he returned to the presidency.
Is it a windfall or massive and blatant corruption? "Monetized the presidency" is such a cursed phrase to describe Trump ripping off Americans and profiting off unethical business dealings.
Vollkommen normal, dass der US Präsident, der ausweislich zahlreicher Medienberichte über viele Jahre keine Gewinne ausgewiesen hat, nun Einnahmen in dieser Größenordnung aus Kryptowährungen ausweist, deren Herkunft kaum nachvollziehbar ist.
Trump Pulled in at Least $2 Billion After Returning to the White House The release of a mandatory financial disclosure for 2025 shows that the Trump family’s holdings, particularly the president’s crypto businesses, were stunningly lucrative. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...
And a sidebar with some historical context. Nothing on this scale in American history has ever happened before at the White House. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...
Horrifying. Vile crypto. Will be reading.
Corruption on an unprecedented scale
Dem candidates should be all over the airwaves and platforms and newspapers: “These fuckers took all your money and stuffed it into their pockets. They think you’re too stupid to notice”. bsky.app/profile/eric...
look at how much this hero has sacrificed for our country out of the goodness of his heart
———————————— Thread has main article & sidebar—and gift links to boot…thanks! Trump, family & cronies raking in this kind of money without consistent, widespread media outrage is one of the most head-scratching aspects of our sordid state.
A true man of the people.
Most of Trump's wealth now is being garnered through crypto grift. Trump earned more than $1.16bn in crypto sales and memecoin royalties last year upon returning to the US presidency, according to a financial disclosure released on Tuesday.
The US president made $526.8mn from selling tokens from his family’s crypto company World Liberty Financial and disclosed income of $635mn in royalties from a licence agreement with “Celebration Coins”.
Aren’t we all pretty sure that crypto provides a cover for foreign interests (and other complicated payers) to pay him bribes?
