Summary

David D. Kirkpatrick reports on Donald Trump's 2025 financial disclosure, revealing that the President earned billions of dollars while in office, primarily through the sale of speculative crypto tokens from his company World Liberty Financial. The article examines the controversial $30 million investment by Chinese-born billionaire Justin Sun in Trump's crypto venture shortly before the election, which appeared to many as a bribe. The tokens offered no ownership rights, couldn't be resold or traded, and were tied to an ill-defined lending platform. The piece highlights the unprecedented scale of profiteering from the presidency and notes that Trump's investors fared far worse than he did.
