WE CARE! STOP TRUMP'S BLATANT CORRUPTION!
President Trump returned to the White House with an epiphany about mixing business and politics during his first term in office.
“I found out that nobody cared,” Mr. Trump told The New York Times in January, revealing a remarkable indifference to potential conflicts of interest.
That was months before Mr. Trump’s latest financial disclosure revealed on Tuesday that he made about $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency businesses during his first year back in office — even as the Trump administration has relaxed regulation of crypto companies.
Overall, Mr. Trump pulled in at least $2.2 billion during his first year back in office, a figure that includes other parts of his vast holdings, like real estate assets. That is compared with at least $622 million his enterprises brought in for all of 2024, before he returned to the White House. And it eclipses the revenue reported by Mr. Trump’s family business in 2020, the last full year of his first term, when it suffered steep declines as the pandemic upended the hospitality industry.
