Donald Trump has leveraged both terms of his presidency to pocket billions of dollars, according to a bombshell report.
A lengthy investigation from The New Yorker estimates Trump and his family will have enriched themselves by more than $3.4 billion by the end of his second term, much of it from deals, transactions, and investments that almost certainly wouldn’t have happened if he’d never been president.
The haul includes lucrative commercial projects in the Persian Gulf overseen by the Trump Organization, such as hotels and golf courses in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates; a luxury Boeing 747-8 gifted by the Qatari royal family; and a flood of Trump-branded merchandise and other low-grade souvenirs flogged by the president and his team.
Trump’s foray into the world of cryptocurrency and NFTS has also been extremely lucrative for the president and his family. The New Yorker estimates the president has raked in at least $320 million from his $TRUMP memecoin, in no small part due to the president encouraging investors to buy in order to be invited to a gala dinner at his members’ clubs in D.C. in May.
