How Much is Trump Making off the Presidency?

A staff writer for The New Yorker, David Kirkpatrick, was trying to determine just how much Trump was making during his presidency. He asked several people and no one seemed to know, few seemed to care, and so he set out on his own to research this subject. I have listed below some of the areas where he is making money: We know that he owes $500 million to New York due to the fraud case. He also owes Carroll about $88 million for the defamation and assault case. (A conflict of interest has been hovering since the very beginning ) * Mar-a-Log is a private club where members can mingle with the filthy rich and with Trump. It originated with a $100,000 joining fee. More recently it has now hit $1 million. * Campaign fund raising. The boundaries are a bit fuzzy here. On his Trump Store he sells supposed campaign items like hats, cups, Bibles, shirts, etc. which his supporters may think go to support the MAGA movement. Actually, the profits go to his organization and the amount of about $27.7 million. * In the Persian Gulf. Trump has deals with several people and has deals with Saudi where the management fees over the next ten years should hit about $320 million. * There is another $91 million in corporate deals, and this includes the outcome of suing such companies as ABC, X, Facebook, and CBS. * Truth Social. The gains and losses on Wall Street are determined by how users feel about Trump at any given time. Maybe he makes between $4 and $20 million annually. * Crypto. He has formed a crypto company and with the money he makes he invests in new ones. He's made about $243 million so far. Just since he took office. I'm sure there is more. Trump could be a trillionaire before his term in the presidency comes to its conclusion. What he should do is go live out the rest of his life over in the Persian Gulf somewhere or buy and island and invite all his cronies to come and live there. (For a price of course.) I wish. Your thoughts. The picture is from my collection.

@jaylar It's odd that he is so open about it.

@TheHorse I doubt it... America has proven it is far more corrupt than imagined. I have said things about the US which people never believed. Now, he proves me right.

No. He is making millions. And not paying his debts. This has been going for decades. If my memory of math is right, he would have to make a thousand billion to be a trillionaire. That's a lot of girls. I think he is struggling for cash and selling Chinese-made trinkets on the internet.

He still has about three more years. Who knows how many more he can add to his millionaires who help him.

@celticeagle Putin has dirt on a lot of those guys. Including Trump himself, of course.

@TheHorse exactly. That is why Trump grovels at Putin's feet.

He is getting near the end of his life. How much does he think he needs to be happy? Stupid man.

@TheHorse .......I think that Trump is dealing with dementia and is also delusional. His narcissistic personality doesn't allow him to think realistically. He sees only what he wants to see and the way he wants it to be.

Trump reminds me of this Warren Zevon song. He must know what his "legacy" will be. Right now he just wants to stay out of prison. It would be "amusing" if people were not losing their lives.

I don't care what he makes. I just want him to pay off his debts and disappear.

He hasn't paid these debts yet? How can that be? "We know that he owes $500 million to New York due to the fraud case. He also owes Carroll about $88 million for the defamation and assault case."

No one is making him do anything. He seems to do as he pleases.

You can bet your bottom dollar he is buying a position of the markets through his broker just before he decides fiscal policy

Yes, he is making way too much money. The president is not supposed to be making money off his deals while he is serving in the public office. When will the country wake up and take the proper action. We would have been much better off if Kamala Harris would have not had the election stolen from her.

I totally agree. I've been asking this question since before the election. I wish we had had someone on the democratic side that the country would have seen as more favorable. It is horrible that he is in office at all. The democrats have really not been very good at their job lately. Someone needs to wake up.
