Trump family enrichment and corruption drawing criticism from the right

Jul 02, 2026

Some Trump supporters on the right are turning on him over corruption and self-dealing, which is bad for Trump's credibility with his base.

  • Trump's businesses pulled in $2.2 billion last year, with most coming from crypto and memecoin ventures tied to his time in office.
  • The accusation is outright bribery: people wanting pardons or government favors buy into his crypto, and he makes big trades right before announcing tariff or war news.
  • Right-wing figures like Candace Owens and Shawn Ryan are now calling this out, feeling betrayed after backing him.
  • The disillusionment is broader — a sense that both parties and legacy media serve donors, not voters.
  • The segment also pushes unproven conspiracy claims about the Charlie Kirk assassination and heavy anti-Israel rhetoric.

Outlook: Expect more former Trump allies on the right to publicly break with him as the self-dealing stays in the spotlight.
