Remember when Trump couldn't come up with his 465 million dollar bond for his fraud judgement before he was elected?
He was denied by 30 surety companies under 4 different brokers.
And now he is supposed to be a multi billionaire?
How much has this guy profited off the presidency? Does anyone know?

I've heard the number a couple times. I believe it's in the billions. The family has benefitted, not just him

The US is hosting G20 in 2026 and guess where it's happening? A Trump property.
But he claims he won't make money on it (doesn't say whether Don Jr. and Eric will, though).

Oh, and he himself is skipping this year's G20 in South Africa. Vance is going.
Where's that much money coming from in less than a year I wonder? Is he profiting off of those he represents? Is it legal?
Has he ever disclosed his income as president?The US is hosting G20 in 2026 and guess where it's happening? A Trump property.

Those number (I think) are not just from the last few months but also account for the first term. THere are many who question the legality of it.

The US President Trump is one of allegedly four political leaders to donate his salary to charity.
Amid his first term in office back in 2017, Trump alleged he would donate the entirety of his $400,000 presidential salary to charity each year, as per USA Today.
Additionally, the Republican is granted a $50,000 (£37,195) for expenses, $100,000 (£74,391) for travel and $19,000 (£14,134) to spend on entertainment.
Whilst serving as the 45th President of the United States, the billionaire businessman’s administration said portions of his salary were donated to various federal agencies.
These included the National Park Service, the Small Business Administration and the Department of Health and Human services, according to a bulletin released by the White House.
CNN reported that among the six years of tax returns released by the House Ways and Means Committee, 2020 was the sole year that Trump claimed zero charitable donations.
It’s therefore unclear whether he made good on his presidential promise in 2020, the publication claimed.
It should be noted that Presidents are also required by Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution to take compensation for their work, and Trump is reportedly forced to take $1 each year from his paycheck.
Reuters reported that the father-of-five declared earnings over $600 million (£446.3 million) in 2024, coming from ventures including golf properties, licensing deals and cryptocurrency.
The outlet estimated Trump’s total assets are roughly worth $1.6 billion.

He declares there in nothing strange of foreign about him from his perspective at the top ... then he sees nothing below ... imagine pit traps with stakes ...

I've seen this or another event that will be held on one of his properties. I don't believe him when he says he won't make money. It may not be "on the books" right then. It will be there somewhere.

Really, as long as his company makes money on it, he'll be a material beneficiary somewhere along the line regardless of whether the kids are technically running the show. That's why we get so sticky about conflict of interest with our politicians. I remember Paul Martin selling his shipping line to his kids and people questioning whether that was really enough distance.
