Plz tell us how Trump has made 4B using his office to do it.
Why? You won't accept the answer & will just hit the laughing emoji. All I can do to help is www.google.com , type the question & read the results. I would have more respect for MAGA supporters if you would admit he's staggeringly corrupt, but you don't care cuz he owns the libz.

Not Trump you fricking retard. His family is running his businesses legally. He was a multi billionaire before he ever stepped down that escalator.
No matter who executed the trades, they were made under his name. You really can't admit this is insider trading?
Again, I'd at least respect your honesty if you admitted how corrupt he is. If you can't admit that, there's no point engaging. You're either a troll or willfully stupid.

So genius, with his family running his businesses in his first term, he lost wealth. This time, he's $5bil up. Even you are not enough of an idiot to think there might be some impropriety this time. Then again, maybe you are.

You got me. Everything Trump does is on the up & up. No matter how much evidence is presented to the contrary. One last question, are you a bot, troll, or just really deep in the cult?
first of all, there should be no question that trump's net worth has grown since he was inaugurated..and we're talking this term. But here's the thing unique about trump - and I'm not defending or accusing. Trump entered office as a billionaire, likely the first ever, and had (an) ongoing business(es). We're all familiar with trump wine, trump watches, trump steaks etc...and I agree 100% that Trump should not be hawking watches while president. But, even if he did nothing....absolutely nothing, just his ongoing businesses would have generated new wealth..the golf courses, the hotels, and his other branding efforts would have all continued. And I'm not surprised in the least that anyone who wants to be in his favor would want to hold their wedding, party or RNC function at one of his facilities. So, in my mind, even a person with $1million in net worth, elected president..money in a blind trust, managed by a professional would grow that money. It's just growing $1million isn't as lucrative as growing $2billion.

I'm not naive enough to think that Trump hasn't taken advantage of his position..the same as Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka and Jared...and I don't know how you'd stop that. ..remember billy beer.

IMO it's important that we have some ethical standards for all our elected officials. It seems as if the Congress might finally be taking some positive steps, same needs to be applied to the president, VP and cabinet officials.

If all of this is true and accurate, why would he have lost wealth during his first term? Did he not have businesses then? Did he not have those same properties? If it's just normal business income, the family must have gotten more savvy in four years.

you're asking me questions that I don't have answers for. I'm just surmising as I don't have any more "inside" financial information than anyone else. I did as you suggested and googled...and the items that came up were some that I listed.

His lost wealth in the first term might have been related to the COVID debacle. A lot of us lost money. I could assume that with lockdowns his hotels, golf courses lost money. But again, I don't know.
