trump monetises his new job
May 24^th, 2025 at 5:15pm

trump has used his new job to grab as much cash as he can.
as well as being given a new jet, UAE poured billions into his (kids) crypto
Even the Pres of SA said "sorry, we do not have a plane to give to you"

............ no modern American president has positioned his family to make so much money while in the White House. Already, since the early days of his reelection campaign, he’s more than doubled his net worth to about $5.4 billion.

In that time, the Trump name has powered more than $10 billion of real estate projects, a multibillion-dollar valuation for his money-losing social-media company, more than $500 million in sales from just one of his crypto ventures and millions of dollars more from stakes in companies that offer financial services, guns and drone parts. Family members have also scored an array of corporate positions — at least seven new roles as an adviser or executive for his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., alone.

Compared with the tumult of the presidency, the empire’s approach is consistent and clear: Sell the family name. In any other era, this scale of presidential moneymaking would threaten to be the story of the year, but political uproar has hogged most of the attention.

In his first months in power, Trump put tariffs on and took some off, blamed Ukraine for Russia’s attacks, sent immigrants to a foreign prison and teased a third term that the Constitution doesn’t allow. And as he’s hacked away at the government’s workforce and budget, he’s shrunk the agencies and offices that oversee his public company, crypto projects and even conflicts of interest.

Trump has loosened constraints on overseas dealmaking that were put in place in his last administration. (He also let Elon Musk, the billionaire leading an effort to slash government spending, police his own conflicts). This week, he’s scheduled to dine with his new memecoin’s top holders. .........

Everyone knew prior to his first term that Trump wasn’t interested in serving the American people and that his reasons for attaining the Presidency were more personal in nature. During his first term he didn’t even really try to hide it, either. But his second term has taken this to new levels previously only seen in dictators. He isn’t even trying to hide how he is using his time as President for his own personal financial gain. The corruption is blatant and obvious and what’s worse is that he doesn’t even care - nor do his supporters. The damage he has caused these past few months will take decades to fix, if it ever is.

During his first term he had to pretend because he was hoping to win a second term in office.. this time there is no extra term to win. He doesn't need to hide anything. He's out anyway so why not go out with as much as he can

I just hope that once he's out, the authorities seize everything as proceeds of crime.

That will go a long way towards paying off some of the US"s debts, and act as a deterrent to any future billionaire who thinks they are a king.

They can start by seizing the 747 aircraft "gifted" to him by Qatar. He should never have been allowed to accept that.

Indeed.

He ran for President for two reasons, and two reasons only:

1. stay out of prison

2. personal financial gain
