He\u2019s spent the past 18 months putting what he learned into practice.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/businessmovingservicess.com\/?p=298\">A Sneak Peek of the Local Food &amp; Makers at Rolling Stone\u2019s Inaugural Stateside Festival<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe president\u2019s financial disclosures revealed this week that in 2025 he made $2.2 billion \u2014 including $1.4 billion on crypto. This is more than he made across all four years of his first term combined. It\u2019s also over three times the $622 million he made in 2024 before returning to the White House, which should tell you all you need to know.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt feels trite to say this kind of naked corruption would end the political career of anyone not named Donald Trump. Of course it would, but so would countless things Trump does on any given day. The harsh reality is that the year is 2026 and Donald Trump is indeed the president, and he\u2019s able to dispose of the media\u2019s questions about, say, selling out the country for billions, as casually as he might remove the lettuce from his Big Mac before tossing it into the Air Force One trash can.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t get involved,\u201d he said Wednesday as part of a word salad that also involved telling reporters they should be thanking him for how well their 401Ks are doing. \u201cI\u2019m profiting because I have a lot of money and a lot of cash and I give it to institutions,\u201d he added. \u201cI don\u2019t know if they know what they\u2019re doing or not. They buy a vast array of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhat? It doesn\u2019t matter. The reporters move on and the corruption train continues unabated.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tA few hours after brushing off concerns about his financial disclosures, Trump posted about how Micron, a semiconductor company he has been touting publicly for weeks, invested $250 million into Trump-branded investment accounts for children that were established in last year\u2019s tax bill. It\u2019s unclear how the accounts will actually function. Trump praised Micron again Thursday morning, writing: \u201cHow about this? Micron, a GREAT American Company, announced that they are putting in 250 Million Dollars into the Trump Accounts for the future benefit of children, and their stock went up 9 points today.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\tYou may be able to guess what comes next. Trump revealed in his financial disclosures that he happens to already own a healthy amount of Micron stock, including some purchased this spring.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe fact that one could almost assume that there was something more to Trump\u2019s posts about Micron than the president of the United States wanting to praise a good old-fashioned American company\u00a0is a testament to how Trump has operated throughout his second term. The White House is open for business, and everything from favorable policy to criminal pardons appears to be for sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/businessmovingservicess.com\/?p=296\">Are MAGA and MAHA Heading for Divorce?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe well-heeled tech industry has understood this from the day he was elected, pumping millions into Trump\u2019s inauguration fund and scrambling to find new ways to humiliate itself at Trump\u2019s feet after he took office. The president is relishing every second of it. In their new book <em>Regime Change<\/em>, Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman of <em>The New York Times<\/em> write about how Trump enjoyed telling associates how much Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos were \u201ckissing my ass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cYou would not believe the texts I got from these tech guys. I\u2019ve got to show you,\u201d Trump reportedly told guests at Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTrump\u2019s financial disclosures also included the nugget that he received a $10.7 million licensing fee for Amazon\u2019s <em>Melania<\/em> documentary. The record-breaking deal for the glossy film about the first lady was announced just weeks after Trump dined with Bezos at Mar-a-Lago in late 2024 following his election win. Melania made tens of millions from the project.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe financial disclosures are only what\u2019s in public view. There is of course plenty of corrupt wheeling and dealing that isn\u2019t quite as out in the open as the $400 million Qatari jet Trump took questions in front of on Wednesday (which now serves as Air Force One after it was retrofitted with an additional $400 million of taxpayer money).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe <em>Times<\/em> offered a glimpse behind the scenes earlier this week, reporting about how Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick struck a mining deal with Kazakhstan last year, with Trump and Lutnick\u2019s sons going into business with partners in the deal before the deal was actually signed. The <em>Times<\/em> noted that the Trumps or the Lutnicks have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on various mining projects.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTrump has no real reason to stop engaging in this kind of corruption, or even to hide it from public view. The Republican Party has agreed not only to cede its congressional duty to check the president\u2019s power, but to actively run cover for him as he bilks the American people \u2014 who are enduring the brunt of an economic crisis brought on by his trade agenda and nonsensical war against Iran.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\tAmericans will have a chance to rebuke the party this November, and they very well may have Trump\u2019s corruption top of mind when they head to the polls. \u201cSomebody is making money on the side, and it\u2019s not me,\u201d a Trump voter told MS NOW when asked about the revelation that Trump made $2.2 billion last year. \u201cIt\u2019s frustrating that you see your president get richer and richer and the middle class is getting poor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/businessmovingservicess.com\/?p=294\">Trump\u2019s Annual Earnings Skyrocketed to $2.2 Billion in 2025 \u2026 for Some Reason<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThere\u2019s always Micron stock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s financial disclosures revealing that he made $2.2 billion in 2025 shed light on an administration built around corruption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":299,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Trump Keeps Getting Richer.
