Donald Trump’s use of his second presidency to grow his personal fortune has alarmed legal and ethics experts and congressional Democrats as he has reaped an “unprecedented” $2.2bn in 2025 revenues by amassing big cryptocurrency holdings, benefiting from wealthy foreign interests, expanding his Truth Social business and more, while federal oversight of his actions has waned.
Trump last year raked in at least $1.4bn from his crypto ventures according to financial disclosure forms he filed in June. Simultaneously, about one million investors in a Trump crypto scheme suffered almost $3.8bn in losses as their volatile crypto holdings tanked in value.
Monetizing his presidency further this summer, Trump’s Truth Social media business is pushing a new scheme that offers wealthy buyers special early access to his posts for a fee of $100,000 a month, which top Democrats and public interest groups say pose serious conflict of interest and corruption issues.
This is some of why at least some Americans probably wish the Iran plot succeeded
Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men.
My parents believe that it’s because he’s smart or something so he’s not convicted for anything because if he did something wrong then “why wouldn’t anybody convict him by now”
And sadly, if the Dems do retake the House, this is the exact reason they’ll claim any indictment is a witch hunt. Dems should be in full on protest mode every single day. Finish every speech on the floor, no matter what topic with, “and furthermore, Trump should be indicted.” Every one of them should start and finish every interview the same way. Most people don’t hear about it, so they figure everything must be kosher.
He has been convicted. He is a convicted felon. He was also found liable in court for raping a woman.
But he is still president, not bankrupt (in fact, even richer than he started with) , not in jail
