u/MightyMorph 6d ago
also its incomplete. 2b?...
what about the money from the oil tankers he stole, from the airplanes, the whitehouse remodelling budget he says companies paid for but now asking the taxpayers to pay for. Not to mention the other scams and bs. His sons got billions. His son-in-law and daugher got billions too. And thats not including all the government backed loans and grants they are giving themselves.
Its closer to 8B+.
Republicans have created the most corrupt government in the world. And theyre applauding like dumb lemmings because they think putting liberals on fire is more important not realizing the fire will also burn them up because they share the fucking room.
fucking morons.

A lot of money trump got wasn't stolen. A lot was gifted by the middle east, and a lot was 'earned' with insider trading.
Stealing, bribes and insider trading is how he got the money. Each alone would get him impeached and imprisoned in a functional country.

Insider trading is stealing. You get prison time for it just the same. What do you think they got Martha Stewart for. The fact that congress gets to do it is asanine.

How can it be stealing when you a given permission to do what he has done. The laws are changed or redefined to allow it to happen! He is currently making hundreds of millions on oil. Thank god he is winning this war on Iran so decisively. We are the greatest that we have ever been, or so I have been told. Again and again and again.

And Trump made a deal with his defense attorney, pardon! Former defense attorney & current Attorney General of the United States of America that Trump, his sons, & their company couldn't get audited again.
That was struck down and the agreement then became, Trump, his sons, and their company can't get audited for anything happening at the time of the agreement.
So those billions of dollars????
Yeah. IRS can't audit for it..

“Earned” I’m not sure that’s the correct wording. He thinks he has a right to keep our tariff payments. He said “Tariff” is favorite word multiple times in front of cameras during his reelection campaign. There are multiple open investigations into multiple Gov agencies for missing monies. 1/3 of his time is spent at Moron Lego golfing where his staff and secret service stays and pays top dollar on food and rooms there that benefits him directly. He took millions of dollars from oil sales of Venezuela oil and put it in his own personal bank account. He is selling “get out of jail cards” (pardons). He is selling swag out of a White House gift shop he created. He is deporting tens of thousands while selling the ability to come to America for $5MUSD. Look it up. It’s all verifiable information. That is not “earned” in my book. He’s a fucking thief, a dirty cheat, and a pathological liar. No Convicted felon and adjudicated digital rapist Donnie Chump didn’t “earn” $2Bn. I hope the government takes that money and gives it to LGBTIQ+, homeless, poor ppl, and girls he offended w/ his BFF Epstein.
u/RedlineSeries3 Update 8/27/2026 @ (12:30PM GMT-5)/ [16:33 UTC]
Yes, I have some news sources of this claim. They are easy to find if you search “Donald Trump Venezuela Oil Qutar.” Please see below for three categories of links: Video News, Podcast Video News, and Text news. Its also notable that Qutar, where he is keeping the money from the oil is a country that gifted Trump a $400M USD Boeing 747-8 Luxury jumbo jet. This may be why he is keeping so much money in their country. Additionally, his sons are alleged to lucrative business deals in Qutar now. The longer the Trumps are involved, the more the world gets poisoned by their toxic poor business ethics and crooked deals. It’s so sad and deeply concerning to see it getting worse.

Anyone who bought his family's crypto was a fool. The SEC filings were full of problems and the fees were just outrageous. Hell the whole origin of the Crypto business was fraught with questionable if not illegals actions. Same as the TruthSocial SPAC to IPO cadence. If it was not Trump the SEC would have been all over both in Court.

For those not aware of his history, these dubious moneyed deals are what he’s long chased after his entire life.
He’s longed to be RICH and longed to be SEEN as a big time successful businessman with astute acumen. To not only enjoy the spoils of wealth, but to also be perceived as a brilliant money maker.
Unfortunately for him, however; he is of significant ill health, so he’ll never be able to use, enjoy & spend this money.

I’m not happy with Trump. But you have to apply the wealth to gain ratio. Granted am I happy with 21000 stock trades in 2025. No.
But if you don’t keep things in perspective nobody will take you seriously.
You need to apply percentages to what’s gained. And biggest thing to me is number of transactions. How can you make 21000 transactions? Holy shit.

Calculating for inflation, $4.5 billion in 2016 would be worth about $6.26 billion today.
Donald Trumps estimated net worth in 2016 was $4.5 billion. Today his net worth is worth about $6.5 billion.
So basically his assets at the rate of inflation.
