Trump exploits the presidency to make 'at least $1.4 billion'

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

"A review by the New York Times' 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," the board explains. "We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view. And they continue to grow."

The board goes on to cite a variety of ways in which Trump is getting even richer, noting that "the Trumps have made at least $23 million from licensing Mr. Trump's name overseas since his re-election" and that "the Trumps are pocketing $28 million from Amazon for a documentary about (First Lady) Melania Trump."

The Times editorial board also points out that "major tech and media companies have paid Mr. Trump $90.5 million in settlements since his re-election — and that "Qatar gave Mr. Trump a $400 million jet that he will use as Air Force One while president and plans to take with him after leaving office." According to the board, "the Trumps have made at least $867 million through various cryptocurrencies."

"All told, Mr. Trump has profited from his return to the presidency by an amount of money equal to 16,822 times the median U.S. household income.''

Remarkable. Many US guys are following ASEAN now. But no response to this scandal. Trump using his office to personally and shamelessly enrich himself. Like no other president before. Former US presidents have not seen their office as a "business opportunity".

Where is the "outrage"?

How much of his newly accumulated wealth has trickeled down to his voters in West Virginia for example?

Actually. It's more. Fitting the plane out is expected to cost anywhere from a bit less than $400 million up to 1.5 billion. The Trump foundation gets to take the 747 after Trump leaves office.
