After returning to the White House, Trump has been relentlessly making money for the U.S. treasury, with adding tariffs and charging "tolls" on American tech companies' exports of chips being specific examples. Of course, in the past year, Trump hasn't forgotten to enrich his own family, making their pockets even fatter. The New York Times published a column that boldly revealed that Trump and his family have at least gained 1.4 billion dollars in benefits over the past year by taking advantage of his high position. The New York Times severely criticized Trump for embezzling, saying he claims to serve the American people, but in fact, he has shifted his focus to using his presidential position for personal gain.

Trump says he serves Americans, but secretly he's raking in huge profits

The column article from the New York Times is shocking, which explains why Trump has been angry whenever he talks about the New York Times!

According to the New York Times' statistics, since Trump returned to the White House, his family has earned at least 23 million dollars from overseas brand licensing, including hotels in Oman, office buildings in western India, and golf courses outside Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Currently, the Trump Organization is rapidly pushing forward more than 20 overseas projects, which often require cooperation from foreign governments. However, strangely, during this process, the U.S. government also actively provides policy incentives to relevant countries. For example, last year, the Vietnamese government deliberately ignored its own laws to speed up the approval of a 1.5 billion dollar golf course built by the Trump Organization on the outskirts of Hanoi. A month after construction began, the Trump administration quickly reduced the tariffs previously imposed on Vietnam.

Bezos' Amazon Group paid 28 million dollars for Melania's personal documentary. It is worth noting that the amount Amazon paid for this documentary was much higher than other bidders and higher than the company's previous bids for similar works, clearly indicating that it is a way to give money to the Trump family.

After taking office, Trump reached settlements with several major American social media giants, including Facebook, Twitter, ABC, YouTube, and Paramount. However, this wave of settlements is strange because these lawsuits essentially had no legal basis. For example, Paramount agreed to pay 16 million dollars for the settlement, and three weeks later, the federal communications commission approved the 8 billion dollar merger between Paramount and Skydance Media.

At least 1.4 billion dollars in the Trump family's account

In the past year, the Trump family also made a lot of money through cryptocurrencies. It is reported that foreign governments or business groups hoping to influence U.S. foreign policy have been buying the Trump family's cryptocurrencies, which is equivalent to giving money to the Trump government in a disguised form.

For example, an UAE-backed investment company invested 2 billion dollars into Trump's cryptocurrency, and two weeks later, Trump quickly approved NVIDIA's sale of the most advanced artificial intelligence chips to the UAE. Last year, Pakistan also invested in cryptocurrencies according to Trump's preferences, and in return, Trump gave the country a 19% tariff treatment. According to the statistics, the Trump family has earned at least 867 million dollars through cryptocurrencies.

This is not enough, Trump plans to take the 4 billion dollar luxury jet gifted by Qatar after leaving office and place it under the name of his "presidential library." He once hinted that this gift would influence his policies towards Qatar. Last year, Rolex and other Swiss companies came to the White House to give Trump luxurious gifts in order to lower tariffs for their country. According to Trump's statement, the luxury watch given by Rolex will also be taken after his resignation and placed under the name of the "presidential library."

The Trump family really made a lot of money

There is no doubt that the Trump family has made a fortune in the past year, but even more astonishing is that, despite the fact that the public knows the Trump family is using special political power to make a lot of money, they are quite helpless. For example, Amazon paid 28 million dollars for Melania's personal documentary, and everyone can see that this is a way to give money, but it's not illegal. The reason is simple: Bezos is willing to give, who can stop him?

At the current situation, it is expected that by January 2029 when Trump leaves office, the Trump family's wealth will explode.
