What's normal for a president is to strictly separate himself off from his personal finances, usually through a blind trust approach.
a well-run strict blind trust to ensure that the president's public policies are not influenced by his private business dealings, such as they are.
Now, we've never had a president.
George Washington was very wealthy.
Other presidents have been wealthy.
We've never had a president
with the business dealings and business organization that Donald Trump has.
They are sprawling, interconnected, hard-to-follow organizations, which do a lot of business outside the United States, which makes it especially dangerous because they are sources for foreign monies to be given to the president through these various entities.
Can you lay some of these out?
What's he doing to make all this money?
Sure.
I mean, the most prominent ones have involved crypto, which provides channels that are anonymous and at scale for foreign entities to invest in Trump entities to give them money.
And there's been a lot of that.
1.4 billion reported in Trump's disclosures from 2025.
That's been the main innovation of the second term.
There have been others.
the selling of
access to truth social for $100,000 for a faster peek at what the president's going to say, and a whole bunch of other measures.
But the crypto stuff is where he's made the new chunk of money.
And just to give a couple of examples, entities in the UAE invested, I believe it was almost half a billion dollars, $400 or $500 million in World Liberty Financial for a 49% stake
