No other president has ever used his office to accumulate the vast amounts of wealth that Trump has gained in the past year and a half. And most unfortunately as is the case with many of his policies, his own supporters suffered the most. He is likely the most corrupt president in American history by 300 fold. And many of his supporters don't even seem to care as they have become numb to his misdeeds, and still believe his lies.

A large chunk of the $2 billion haul President Trump took in last year came as hundreds of thousands of his fans and other investors bet on a speculative cryptocurrency called $TRUMP, hoping its value would soar with his return to the White House.

But while Mr. Trump amassed an eye-popping $636 million from the cryptocurrency, known as a memecoin, many of his followers who heeded his call to purchase the coin came out losers.

That outcome, documented by an independent analysis of trades and fees paid out from $TRUMP token sales, is drawing renewed attention this week, as Mr. Trump for the first time has detailed the extraordinary $1.4 billion in revenue he secured just from the cryptocurrency industry since he returned to the White House.

The president’s 927-page financial disclosure showed how Mr. Trump and his family reaped huge financial rewards in 2025 through his money-losing Trump Media venture and a separate cryptocurrency firm called World Liberty Financial, even as routine investors suffered vast losses.

He also amassed hundreds of millions through deals that involved foreign governments or corporations with agenda items pending before the Trump administration.

On Wednesday, Mr. Trump dismissed questions about how much money he had made after returning to the White House, suggesting that he left personal financial decisions related to his investments to others.

“It is hard to wrap your head around that the president of the United States would engage in this level of self-enrichment at the expense of so many of his supporters,” said Lee Reiners, a former Federal Reserve Bank examiner who now studies cryptocurrency issues at Duke University. “This is a president of the United States who has made more money off crypto since he took office than he made in any prior year in his entire business career.”

One has to feel some sympathy for the 1000s of duped supporters and investors.

Mr. Trump’s annual report shows that he earned an additional $799 million from World Liberty, including a large share when the government of the United Arab Emirates secretly purchased a stake in the company, just as Mr. Trump was returning to the White House.

Meanwhile, the price of $WLFI, a cryptocurrency coin created by World Liberty Financial, has sunk to less than 6 cents, a more than 80 percent drop from its peak, generating enormous losses for investors who bought in at a higher price.

That decline did not matter much for Mr. Trump: A Trump entity received a 75 percent cut of all sales of $WLFI, according to a disclosure by the company, allowing him to profit from the coin long before its price cratered.

Hope they remembered to deduct

the losses on the NFT and the " coins " !

Trump made over $1 billion on crypto in 2025, but his buyers lost 98%

https://finance.yahoo.com/video/trump-made-over-1-billion-162500120.html

For example...

---

For anyone who bought into the $TRUMP meme coin at its all-time high of $74.27 on January 19, 2025, the math is brutal. A $1,000 investment at that price would have bought you 13.46 tokens.

Today at the time of writing, the official Trump meme coin trades at approximately $1.68. That original $1,000 is now worth around $22.61, a loss of 97.7 percent in less than 18 months.

The bags of money Joe gave Hunter. The ones he was supposed to give to Zelinsky but stopped by his crack dealer first?! Sorry, no idea what Glenn Beck was shoveling up for his audience. Miss him though, I remember how he would cry a bit at the end of his chalkboard talks, touching.

That is a very desperate bit of deflection, as whatever Biden did, whatever Nixon did, utterly pales in comparison to the mischief and abuse of both the law and the office of the presidency, when it comes to the Trump the pig president.

Corruption has never been redefined. It is what is it and Trump is full of it.

Ever feel like you have been had - to all you investors how bought into the hype of 2025?

Investors who bought into Trump’s World Liberty Financial and the "TRUMP" meme coin provided the cash that generated his $1.4 billion in reported income. Since then, the value of those assets has collapsed.

The "TRUMP" meme coin, which peaked at $75.35 in January 2025, was trading around $1.66 by mid-2026 — a drop of about 98%. Meanwhile, World Liberty’s governance token (WLFI) has lost roughly 70% of its value since a major deal in August 2025, contributing to steep losses for investors, including a publicly traded company that reported a $348 million paper loss on its holdings.

So while Trump and his family realized massive gains upfront, many investors are now left with assets worth only a fraction of what they paid.

He is not working for the country he is working for himself and close relatives and friends.

Another entry for the Trump Museum of Shame. Put it right along next to the Trump Steaks, the Trump Wine, the bankrupt Trump Casinos, and the Trump Properties he rents out to his own Secret Service. What a guy.

We knew this man was a con artist before this second term. We knew he defaulted payment on dozens of contracts and lost even more court cases. We know that virtually EVERY business he’s started has gone bankrupt; trump steaks, Trump air, Trump casino (how the <deleted> can you bankrupt a casino? That’s a license to print money!) and more. And with every bankruptcy, more and more people screwed out of their money.

Everything this man touches turns to <deleted>, while he blames everyone else for the problem.

How can the MAGAs be so stupid?

President Trump just DEBUNKED the Fake News claim he is profiteering off the presidency...

"I PURPOSEFULLY NEVER speak to the people that run my money!"

"You know why I'm profiting? The market is going up, EVERYBODY'S profiting! Your 401k is up, THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!"

"I don't get involved...we have funds that run my money."

"I've made a lot of money BEFORE I became president. They invest my money."

Dumocrats doing what they do best, asking stupid (feckless, imbecile "gotcha" attempts) questions and say stupid <deleted> every chance they get. Why are Trump haters so proud to put their stupidity on display? Must be a badge of honor for them.

Go look in a mirror.

On second thought, don't. You'd scare yourself.

Since you have decided what constitutes "losers", let me also take a stab and give my definition of a loser.

Here you go:

-a loser has people who don't like Trump living rent free in his head, obsessed with, and posting in every Trump thread

-losers have allowed themselves to get obese and out of shape in the only

-losers resort to paying poor rural girls to service their vile and decrepit bodies, because no woman would do it by choice

I for once would like to see his finances before he was elected, the real ones not the fake redacted ones, have a feeling they would look more than half as good as he portrays them, he could have been in financial trouble and the presidency save his axx or does the Deutch Bank still keeps bailing him out

Donald Trump's wealth increased significantly in the years leading up to his second term (especially 2024).

Key Numbers (Forbes estimates):

• Early 2024 (before the election campaign really heated up): Around $2.3 – $3.9 billion.

• Post-election / early 2025: Surged to roughly $6 – $7.3 billion range.

He roughly doubled or even nearly tripled his net worth in that window, depending on the exact timing and valuation.

Main drivers:

• Truth Social / Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG): The big one. When it went public via SPAC in 2024, Trump’s stake skyrocketed in value, adding billions on paper (even though the company itself loses money).

• Cryptocurrency ventures: Major gains after the election from meme coins, World Liberty Financial, and related projects.

• Licensing & branding deals: Foreign developers and others rushed in, adding hundreds of millions.

• Real estate & golf clubs: Steady performers.

Key Points on the Gains:

• The most dramatic increase happened in 2024, especially after he secured the Republican nomination and won the election in November.

• Truth Social’s parent company going public (2024) was the single biggest catalyst — it added billions to his net worth on paper.

• Crypto-related ventures also exploded in value after the election.

• By the time he was inaugurated for his second term (Jan 2025), his wealth had roughly doubled from early 2024 levels.

His wealth took a hit during/after his first term (partly due to COVID, legal issues, and Truth Social startup costs), but rebounded hard during the 2024 campaign and after the win.

Bottom line: Trump became substantially richer in the run-up to his second term, largely thanks to the market valuing his political comeback and media/crypto plays. Whether you think that's good, bad, or corrupt is a separate debate, but the numbers show clear growth.

Here's a twofer....

Nothing epitomizes Trump's corruption, as well as his contempt for his cult, along with the idiocy of his sycophantic and worshipping cult, than his $Trump meme coin.

The grift was launch 3 days before his Inauguration last year. According to financial documents, Trump made $635 million schlepping the coin. The current value of the thing scoffed up by his goobers, or entities seeking influence, is down 97.7% from its launch. The goobers got hosed. Those seeking influence probably got repaid somehow with no bid contracts or something similar.

Fools and their money are soon parted. No wonder so many in the cult are always frothing at the mouth.

Well, you don't become a billionaire by being stupid and Trump is certainly not stupid. While I would never purchase any token of any denomination, some take this chance as those who purchased Bitcoin at over $100,000. As of today, Bitcoin is selling for 60,900. That is a 40% loss. Many of these Bitcoin losers are liberal, socialist Democrats. So who are the idiots here? President Trump wrote the book "The Art of the Deal" and he appears to be able to make some good deals.

here is some bits from Yahoo finance

The Trade Was Already Public — The Timing Wasn't

Trump revealed nearly 3,700 stock trades in May, according to federal financial filings released in May. His purchase of Axon shares was already included among those transactions. But CNBC's reporting added an important detail.

The records show Trump purchased Axon stock on Feb. 10. Just two weeks later, on Feb. 24, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sought a five-year, $220 million contract for approximately 17,800 Tasers, along with unlimited cartridges and training. That sequence immediately raised eyebrows.

The White House has maintained that Trump's assets are held in a trust managed by his children and that independent third-party investment managers -- not Trump or his family -- make investment decisions. If that process worked exactly as described, the purchase may have been entirely coincidental.

Another Deal Is Fueling More Questions

The Axon story also arrives just one day after The New York Times reported another transaction drawing scrutiny.

According to the newspaper, the Trump administration negotiated an agreement with Kazakhstan to secure access to tungsten, a metal used in missiles, armor-piercing ammunition, and other defense applications. The deal reportedly included $1.6 billion in federal financing for the little-known company Kaz Resources that was awarded the rights to develop the tungsten reserves. 

Notably, Trump's sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, through their company Dominari Securities, took a combined 20% ownership stake in Kaz within weeks of the negotiations. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick reportedly played a central role in the discussions, while Cantor Fitzgerald, controlled by Lutnick's family, helped raise financing for Dominari that could have generated millions of dollars in fees.

It is very likely that the Deep State promised him in exchange for his complete and total complicity, and behaving like a puppet on a string, that they would increase his net worth significantly.

That's all that matter to him since his level of personal moral bankruptcy and ethical depravity prevents him from ever doing the right thing.

This has just been normalized now. That's how bad it's become.

thanks that's great, in other words you just published all the cheating and the crooked deals, there's an old saying "a crook always a crook" keep that in mind

WSJ has trump's grift as the headline story. Also pictured is the jet gifted to trump by the Qataris, which the US taxpayers then happily paid $400 million to convert into a pimp's wet dream.

People are arguing if it should be called Con Air or Grift Force One.

Who cares if Trump makes money or not.

The reason the people in America and the world are getting more and more angry with Trump is that his choices are increasing prices all over as much is connected to the basic price of oil or to ongoing wars that are not stopped.

America has always been a puppet of Israel in supporting their actions. But Trump seems to openly beat all those before him in office.
