From the NY Times:
"President Trump reaped a stunning windfall in his first year back in the White House, including about $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses, a new filing shows.

All told, the president pulled in at least $2.2 billion, 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.

One of his biggest hauls in 2025 came when an investment firm tied to the United Arab Emirates bought nearly half of the Trump family’s main crypto company, World Liberty Financial, a transaction that blurred the line between foreign policy and private enterprise.Mr. Trump also collected hundreds of millions of dollars from sales of his $TRUMP memecoin and World Liberty’s sale of its own digital tokens.

The results, detailed in Mr. Trump’s mandatory financial disclosure report for 2025 and released on Tuesday, pulled back the curtain on the president’s business operations. His crypto ventures, the report shows, are now some of his most lucrative enterprises, a remarkable turnabout for a man who once slammed crypto as a haven for drug dealers and scammers.

The returns, which had been something of a mystery, 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.

It is hardly the only issue to arise from having a businessman serve as president. The president’s family business, the Trump Organization, has also capitalized on Mr. Trump’s popularity in certain parts of the world, licensing the Trump name to properties in countries that are crucial to U.S. foreign policy interests, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment, though in the past, Mr. Trump has noted that he is exempt from federal conflict of interest laws."

he ran for President the first time.  Like all past presidents, His holdings are in a trust during the time he is president.  If the Trustee(s) make money on his investments, it's neither corruption nor a conflict of interest.  This sounds like another one of the Left's concocted falsities.  If there was evidence of any wrongdoing, some hotshot district attorney looking to make a name for themselves would have gone after him.

 
If you want to look for corruption, look to Barack Hussien, whose net worth was a few hundred thousand when he was running for President and is now over $100 million.  He seems really lucky on investing his $500,000/year salary.   It seems that the sources of his wealth are secret, while Trump's business holdings are fully disclosed.  Between the two of them, where would a reasonable person look for corruption?  The guy whose holdings are a matter of public record, or the guy with everything secret?

Unlike all Presidents before him, Trump's assets at NOT in a Blind Trust. They are in a revocable trust so he knows exactly what's in it and how the assets are performing. As a result he can (and seemingly does) make decisions that affect the value of the trust's contents. His creation of a bitcoin business, done while he was President, clearly played on his Presidential influence when mideastern potentates took huge investments in it, boosting its value. And that's just one example.
As for Obama, your statement is hugely deceptive (big shock). Earth to CDL: Obama hasn't been President for TEN YEARS. So his wealth today has ZERO to do with his being in office. The fact that the source of his wealth is secret makes him just like every other ex-President.
Once again, CDL distorts reality to suit his political agenda. Par for the course.

Yup! He made 2 billion last year.

Remember when they were worried that Trump was going to make money when  foreign dignitaries stayed in his hotels? LOL. That is small change compared to this.

Remember when he said that crypto was a scam. Now his wants to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. That's like the owner of Maytag saying that he wanted the U.S, to be the washing machine capital of the world.
