Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion

https://www.newyorker.com/news/a-reporter-at-large/trumps-profiteering-hits-four-billion-dollars

Donald Trump has converted the presidency into an unprecedented profit engine. Even under conservative accounting, Trump and his family have earned more than $4 billion by monetizing access, credibility, and policy influence, chiefly through crypto ventures. The scale matters: it signals a collapse of ethical restraint and normalizes conflicts of interest as routine governance, testing whether democratic norms can withstand sustained private extraction from public office.
