What are the key highlights of Donald Trump's financial filings?
Let's go through together what's actually in Donald Trump's latest financial filing. I'm sure you heard the headline that Donald Trump made over $2 billion his first year in office on stock trades, crypto schemes, licensing fees, real estate ventures, shaking down foreign interests. But we need to actually delve deeper than the headline to see just how nefarious and, in my opinion, just how criminal this is. When you look at Donald Trump earning over $2 billion and investors in his various entities losing $2 billion, That's just the tip of the iceberg, because while Donald Trump has made billions of dollars, the American people are the ones suffering.
How did Trump reportedly earn over $2 billion during his presidency?
I also want to remind you when Donald Trump entered into that settlement, the collusive deal with the Treasury Department and the IRS that many call a super pardon. where Donald Trump waived all tax liability, all audits, all criminal investigations into his personal taxes, his corporate taxes, his family's taxes. That includes this period of time where we now know that Donald Trump earned at least $2 billion that he's disclosing. And in my opinion, just giving you my opinion, I think he's hiding at least 5 to 10 times that amount. I believe the real number is closer to $20 billion that has been funneled to family interests that have not yet been disclosed. Notably, Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, who have a lot of sourcing inside the White House, also say that they believe that the $2 billion disclosed is just the tip of the iceberg.
Now, if you want to think, well, what would the capital gains tax be? Or what would the regular income tax be on that amount of money? It is in the billions of dollars, and Donald Trump will construe the settlement agreement with the IRS and Treasury Department to say all tax audits, all investigations, all criminality into his taxes were waived during the period of time that covers this massive haul of money while using the White House as a quid pro quo machine. Let's delve deeper. When people say that Donald Trump released these financial forms, the form is actually called a 278E-278T report. These are financial disclosures required by the Office of Government Ethics. Donald Trump should have reported this much earlier.
It's coming out right now. And when you take a look and you delve deeper, there are some massive red flags. Let's go deeper into this 927 page report. So the assembly explains big takeaways right here from Trump's crypto schemes. $1.2 billion earned at least. $515 million from selling World Liberty Financial governance tokens. Investors lost about 78% of their money. $65 million from equity sales in World Liberty Financial Holding Company. $635 million in royalties from Trump Celebration Coins via Commander-in-Chief Digital LLC. Retail investors in most of these entities got absolutely wiped out and lost almost all of their money. Let's talk about stock trading. Very active with big individual trades.
Donald Trump claims, this was a blind trust. I had nothing to do with it. Well, in my opinion, I see no evidence that this was a blind trust. What I see happening is around critical events, Donald Trump made very big trades. Example, the day before Trump paused tariffs, triggering a historic 10% market rally, His accounts purchased 327 stocks worth up to $12.8 million. You know how we would talk about these mysterious investors who would make very well-timed They would predict the future with their investments. Well, this seems like it may be what we were observing. The trades were disclosed more than a year late in violation of the law, but the penalty that Donald Trump paid was only $200. Yeah, $200.
Look at this. As Usual Whales puts it, on July 23rd, 2025, Trump purchased up to $5 million of Broadcom, Meta, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Later that day, the Trump regime unveiled its AI action plan, a policy that massively benefited those companies. How about Trump purchasing $5 million of Axon stock in February? Weeks later, as ICE and Border Patrol were killing people in the United States and throwing them in concentration camps, ICE sought a $220 million deal with Axon, per CNBC and per Common Knowledge at this point.
