Trump has tripled or quadrupled his wealth since he has been in the White House...

...according to different reports.

I think it is probably more.

Some of the rumors, when he first ran for office, debated whether or not he was a "billionaire"? Some said he was worth a lot less.

For the first 70 years of his life, he made a billion dollars! Not bad, huh?

But the latest estimates are that he is worth 3 or 4 times that much. He has become a multi billionaire since he "stole" his first election. Of course, he will never admit that he got any help from Russia. But, he did.

He and his family have stuffed their pockets while pretending to work for the working man. They have stolen everything that was not welded or nailed down.

It is a disgrace that his supporters have let him get away with it.

There are no comparisons and no excuses.

Now, I have strong proof to the contrary at my immediate disposal. However I'm quite sure the cultists aren't even checking theirs, secure in the knowledge that they now have twice as money in their accounts vs. what they had a year and a half ago, because Dear Leader told them so.

Also, there's 4 years in there that he wasn't POTUS and also not everyone's 401K's are entirely SPP & Nasdaq-investments based.

Mine is up just under 15% since he took office Jan 20, 2025. Not bad, I suppose. Subtract how much more I now pay for health insurance though, and I don't think I'm ahead much.
