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.

As a tool to leverage Vietnam into that resort deal. Threatens them with astronomical tariffs, then the buy him out for a lower rate. And I’m sure other countries played trumps game.
Yup, when Trump talked about those deals he got because of the tariffs, the only deal he got was for himself, while we paid.
Its all crony capitalism and corruption with this administration.
I hope the next Dem President levels sanctions on the Trump enterprise and I hope there'll be a full out investigation

One, Democrats are so desperate they all for picking up small change.  The communists are kicking ass in the primaries, but I don't know a single Democrat (and I'm from California) that is for Communism.  A train wreck is coming in November.

 
Two, there is an old saying about ambition . . . . If you aim your arrow at a bush, you will surely hit the bush, but if you aim for the sun, you will not hit it, but your arrow will surely land farther than if you aimed at the bush.  Nothing wrong with WANTING to be the crypto capital of the world, even if you don't make it and ONLY earn $1.2 billion in the process.

he is not the trustee, so he has no control over the investments while in office. Most presidents who had stocks knew what was in their trust, and could follow the progress of their investments, but cannot give buy and sell orders because they are not the trustee.  You say tomato and I'll say tomahto.  Makes no difference.  

A robust investigation by DOJ that starts on day 2 not in year 2.

that the UAE made a huge investment in his bitcoin company, funneling him hundreds of millions?
Right.
No President has made anything like this kind of profit during his Presidency  
The form of the trust didn't protect us from this.

Crypto Brought Trump a Huge Windfall, Even as Many Investors Lost Big.
President Trump and his family reaped vast financial rewards from a memecoin that generated losses for hundreds of thousands of investors. [July 1, 2026]
.
"... “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.” ..."  
.
"But while Mr. Trump amassed an eye-popping $636 million from the [$TRUMP] cryptocurrency, known as a memecoin, many of his followers who heeded his call to purchase the coin came out losers. ..."
.
"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."
.
"The memecoin, which features an image of Mr. Trump pumping his fist the way he did after a 2024 assassination attempt, has no intrinsic value itself. Instead, it was a bet on the aura around Mr. Trump and the idea that the coin’s fortunes would rise with his presidency. ...
.
"As of the middle of last year, according to Chainalysis, a crypto analytics firm, 58 investors in the $TRUMP coin had made profits in excess of $10 million, totaling an estimated $1.1 billion — most of them early traders who got out before the coin crashed in value. At the same time, some 764,000 crypto wallets, most with small holdings, lost money on $TRUMP, the Chainalysis data shows. But every time $TRUMP was traded, the president and his partners collected transaction fees, which along with other revenues from the coin totaled hundreds of millions of dollars, his financial disclosure shows. But every time $TRUMP was traded, the president and his partners collected transaction fees, which along with other revenues from the coin totaled hundreds of millions of dollars ... " [NOTE: EVERY time a Trump NFT (non-fungible token) trading card is bought or sold, Trump gets a piece of the action. Cards originally sold to his cult members for $99 each. Google for current values and MOST of the hits say that the cards have lost substantial value: "Trump Digital Trading Cards (NFTs) currently have a starting "floor" price of around $35 to $45 USD (approx. 0.016 to 0.025 ETH/WETH) on the secondary market. While original cards were minted and sold for $99, the vast majority of standard digital cards now trade well below their initial launch price." - CoinGecko]  
.
"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. While he was accumulating this new wealth, Mr. Trump’s administration was taking steps that allowed his crypto ventures to raise their profits. ****Early last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it would not regulate memecoins like a security.**** And Mr. Trump promoted legislation he signed into law expanding the use of stablecoins in the United States, a few months after World Liberty issued its own such coin.

" “I find it sad that these investors have no protection from the S.E.C. — the agency has gleefully abandoned them,” said John Reed Stark, the former chief of the S.E.C. office that investigated online investment fraud. “It is all about a scam that is as old as securities markets themselves — and it is called a pump-and-dump scheme that enriches a few at the expense of the masses.” ..."
.
"On July 23, Mr. Trump purchased up to $5 million each in Broadcom, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia, all companies focused on profits from artificial intelligence markets, the filing shows. That same day, the Trump administration unveiled its artificial intelligence action plan, in which the White House expressed a desire to deregulate the industry. Prices for four of the six stocks have since increased, with Apple and Broadcom surging more than 30 percent. ***Those purchases were not listed on any of the periodic transaction reports that covered 2025, as is required under law.*** ***His disclosure report filed on Wednesday shows he paid a small fine for failing to honor this rule.*** ..."

Given to Trump by the Qatari government and it will be given to his Presidential library when he leaves office. Which means it will be his. The aircraft is valued at approximately $400 million, with an additional $400 million spent by the U.S. government on retrofits and military upgrades.
Trump = The most corrupt President ever.

And is going to be a major problem for republicans…how do you defend a economy, where young adults are struggling while this administration is getting filthy rich. And the kicker is, Trump doesn’t give a shit about them, even his own base.  
Republicans have allowed this corruption to happen, with no backbone to stop it

@realliarickypus the aircraft is not and will not be his

 
Does president Trump own or will he ever  air Force one....no ...it will not be his

 
AI Overview
No, the Boeing 747-8 used as Air Force One does not belong to President Trump; it is owned by the United States federal government. The aircraft was accepted by the Department of Defense as a gift from the Qatari royal family to serve as an official presidential transport.  

 

Regarding the Air Force one that will eventually be in Trump’s Presidential Library.  

AI Overview
The plane will belong to the U.S. government rather than the president or former president personally. Decommissioned presidential aircraft placed in library museums remain the property of the United States and are typically managed by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) or the Air Force.  
When a decommissioned Air Force One (such as the Boeing 747 gifted to the U.S. by Qatar) is retired to a presidential library, it becomes part of a public museum exhibit. The aircraft is stripped of classified electronics, decommissioned for military use, and permanently transferred to the government for public display.  
For example, the Boeing 707 used by President Ronald Reagan sits in the Air Force One Pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where it is preserved as a federal artifact for public viewing.

 

ickypus  =  Biggest Liar On TER ever

then she is the most stupid and naive poster on this board. Hint: Trump breaks any rule he does not like.
So now we can add "stupid and naive" to Felcher's other titles including Biggest TER Liar Of All Time. Felcher = TER BLOAT.
