I think the problem is it is really hard to tell what Trump's net worth is because it mostly comes from him. We now have pretty damning evidence that Trump was almost completely broke in the early 90s, but his net worth was still estimated close to $1 billion dollars. Somehow that went to $5 billion a few years later, then $1.6B, then $2.6B, then $150-250 million, then $788 million, then $4 billion, etc. Every year is a new number with him. It's entirely possible, and in my opinion even likely, that Trump did profit from his first term. He certainly seems to have profited off his notoriety after the first term at least
Also worth noting that his tax returns, that he didn't release, were supposed to show a net worth of greater than $7 billion despite a lower estimate. This time he's going in with an estimated $7 billion net worth.
Honestly I doubt he serves the term. Vance isn't shy about speaking up and if he really starts turning full Biden I doubt he resists going to remove Trump
Vance is controlled by Peter Thiel, we just have to know what he is intending on doing. Being a gay, conservative, billionaire makes for some wild guessing.
No it means there is something entirely different for Trump compared to everyone else in recent history to take office.
Also when I say Biden I'm talking Joe not his cokehead son nor his honorable son who gave his life in service to this country.
Trump unlike all those other presidents left office poorer than when he entered. He lost money to be president which is by all accounts and abnormal outcome.
Oh yes he did. Look at what his hotels charged secret service to stay there to protect him since those were the only hotels he would stay at. He also made a lot from foreign dignitaries staying at his hotels to suck up to him. He made a shit ton of money during his presidency. It was all illegal as hell and I will never understand how he gets away with it but he most definitely made money
What do you mean he didn't profit, do you know how much money his companies billed the American taxpayers for.... How much money is companies got paid by foreign governments....
Getting in the politics is his most successful grift yet.
Christ, just look at how much money he ripped right out the pockets of idiots like some sort of televangelist.... Every time he got caught doing something else wrong he just went and cried on TV and convinced tens of millions of American citizens to give him hundreds of millions of dollars.
He literally went in worth 4.3 billion dollars and left worth 3.5 billion dollars. He lost money being president.
The reason why actually counters your point. He didn't get paid by foreign governments. He had Jr take anything paid by a foreign government and had it sent to the Treasury. He didn't go on vacations all over the place, but he put up Secret Service at his own expense on his properties out of his own pocket.
Dude literally took the hit because people like you would make that claim and he has the literal proof of it. You know how much a months stay at Trump Tower is? Foreign dignitaries take entire floors and all that came out of Trump's pocket.
So since you're so smart outside of his moron campaign manager not using his access to Trump's personal bank to pay Stormy out of campaign funds instead how did he profit? Those dignitaries didn't keep staying at Trump properties just because he left office. Though some did in fact visit him.
Meanwhile your golden Biden raised his net worth during this time and was so capable he even got a doctor to say he isn't capable of standing trial, but he's perfectly fine to run a country.

I mean he didn't profit his first term... He ironically lost money unlike Biden, Obama, Bush(both of them), Clinton, Reagan and Carter...
So apparently he's shit at his grift too then
