3 Ways the $ in Trump's World Has Skyrocketed Since He Took Office

Tweet

When Trump came into office for his second time in 2025 his income quadrupled. Over $2 billion in one year. Trump Media and Technology Group merged with TAE Technologies, a company working to develop nuclear fusion technology. Which raises questions about conflicts of interest since his Administration oversees the regulation of the nuclear industry. (Isn't it more than just an impression that Trump might be willing to make decisions as President that benefit himself and his family over the country?) In a Fox Business interview back in June 2021 Trump said that cryptocurrency "seems like a scam" and in August that crypto is a “disaster waiting to happen”. But by the middle of his presidential campaign, he was inviting donators to send cryptocurrency saying Trump “stands ready to embrace new technologies that will Make America Great Again.” It's also interesting to note that Crypto firms gave $18 million to his inauguration fund. Three days before his inauguration he launched $TRUMP and $MELANIA and has now gone on to make hundreds of millions with his memecoin tokens, World Liberty Financial, and USD1. And if that weren't enough, his 2025 financial disclosure form shows his raking in several million on his Trump bibles, $1 million from sales of the “45” guitar, $2.8 million from Trump watches and $2.5 million from Trump sneakers and fragrances. He could go on the carnival tour selling his wares and make himself enough money to live on for rest of his sleep deprived life. (**As a side note**) In article two of the Constitution is a clause called the Domestic Emoluments Act, and in article one, Section 9 of the Constitution is a clause called the Foreign Emoluments Act which prohibits the president "from receiving any emolument (profit, gain, or advantage) from either the federal government or any state, and from foreign governments without congressional consent." Wasn't that a rather smart and just enactment? A person shouldn't really prosper from being president. The office is for the betterment of the country. That's just right. Right? Well, with all these well-meaning acts and such in our constitution I think the founding fathers may have made one slight error. What if down through the years a president might go against this. What then? Is he shunned? Does he get a time out? What!? The image is from my collection.
