Trump made billions off the presidency this year, mostly from crypto — bad for the small fans who lost money and for public trust, good for him and his family.

• New disclosures show Trump pulled in at least $2.2 billion since returning to office, up from $622 million the year before, mostly from crypto ventures run by his sons.
• His crypto projects made him and his family money no matter what — investors, many of them Trump fans, lost roughly as much as he gained, with some wiped out entirely.
• A UAE-linked firm bought half of the family crypto company World Liberty Financial, and soon after the US eased ship exports to the UAE — one of several deals blurring foreign policy and private profit.
• Trump made 22,000 stock trades in 2025, some timed suspiciously — he bought Abbott stock, then his DOJ dropped a probe into the baby formula maker two months later.
• He also collected $86 million settling weak lawsuits against media companies that chose to pay rather than fight the president.

Outlook: With a shaky economy and a possible crypto bubble, the anger over this could hit Republicans hard in the midterms, and Democrats could launch subpoenas and impeachment if they take Congress.
