"President Donald Trump’s reported income soared to more than $2.2 billion in 2025, as the president took in more than $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency, digital tokens and related partnerships, according to his latest financial disclosure forms.

The 927 pages of disclosures, released Tuesday, indicated that Trump’s income substantially increased after he reentered the White House last year.

Overall, Trump reported assets worth at least $2.4 billion and income of over $2.2 billion. His assets are almost certainly worth more, since the federal disclosure forms require only that asset values be reported in ranges that top out at “over $50 million,” which leaves the full value of the president’s holdings unclear.

..."“Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest,” Kelly continued, saying any suggestion otherwise is a “tired, false narrative.”

".... “Public office, if anything, was a source of debt, not a source of revenue,” said Lindsay M. Chervinsky, a historian and the executive director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon.

Mr. Trump and his family have done the opposite, creating new business ventures that are profiting from actions Mr. Trump has taken since he returned to the White House.

Those include the pardon Mr. Trump issued in October to Changpeng Zhao, the richest man in crypto, who founded the company Binance, which has been a critical business partner to the Trump family’s own crypto venture. They also include legislation that Mr. Trump signed last July to promote a form of cryptocurrency called stablecoins, four months after his family-backed firm introduced its own stablecoin.


Presidential historians said they could identify no other president in American history who entered into new business enterprises just before moving into the White House, and then continued to personally profit from them during his term..."

6. It's way worse than an "appearance of conflict of interest"

Much is what ethical people in government try to avoid at all times.

Donnie literally *profits* from the appearance of a conflict of interest! People and businesses do things like rent entire floors of buildings for him precisely because they expect something in return. Whether he gives them that or not is besides the point.

Massively epic corruption, profiting from his position of "public trust".

They call it that because the position involved the public trusting you to *not* do crap like this.

7. Total graft...these so-called "crypto" ventures have zero value - the whole thing is a bribe vehicle

People with business before the US government "buy" these "coins" and get favorable treatment on contracts and other matters. The money goes to Trump, but the contracts and other perks are paid by us, the taxpayer.

Everyone involved should be under the federal penitentiary.

Honestly, any conservative can feel free to come and explain how a Trump crypto venture made $1.4 billion any other way. That's the same revenue than was made by the restaurant group that includes Chili's, TGIFridays, Outback Steakhouse, etc for 2025 (EAT revenue was $1.47 billion).

9. It's a great business for The Family and Mike Johnson runs the Protection Program ....

it should not be a hard task to connect this administration to groups like the mafia.

12. One cannot profit from the proceeds of crime.

When the House of Trump collapses with his demise, some forensic investigations need to be done and most of the money held by the Trump crime family taken by the state.
