        He’s almost certainly back into at least multi-millionaire status. The reason is that he’s been grifting the hell out of the office of the President. The cryptocoin, for example, was money in his pocket; yes, it crashed in price almost immediately, but that was already after he took their money. Or perhaps more likely, had it as a method of backdoor bribes.

        If he’s not at least a multi-millionaire after all that grift, then I have to wonder just how bad he is at this.

          He wasn’t trying to make money on the crypto itself, he knew that was a dog. He owns the trading platform, so he made money on every trade when they bought in, and then made money on every trade as they panic-sold it on the way down.

          That little scam reportedly made him over a billion. Then he did it again with Melania crypto.

      He was deep in the hole when he was first elected. Being in the government has been very profitable for him. A recent report had his businesses already profiting over $3.4 billion since his most RECENT inauguration.
