How Trump’s Businesses Generated $1.9 Billion In Revenue During His Presidency | Forbes

Donald Trump never really got out of business. Sure, he handed day-to-day management of his companies to his children, like a lot of tycoons who get preoccupied with other interests late in life. But the president held onto ownership of his assets after taking office, ensuring that he would continue to generate money while serving in the White House. From 2017 to 2019, the president’s businesses raked in an estimated $1.9 billion of revenue.

It’s a significant sum, no matter how you look at it. Documents from various sources—including private lenders, local governments, federal officials and overseas regulators—help show where the money comes from and roughly how much of it turns into profit. An analysis that relies on those documents and conversations with industry experts, broken down for the first time in the forthcoming book White House, Inc., provides an unprecedented look at the president’s finances, which he has worked so hard to shield from public scrutiny.

And the government is complicit and just as corrupt in enforcing the law.

Well, Donny has donated only $8, 000 to his whole reelection campaign, so he's definitely learned how to grift millions of dollars in donations. Also, he got millions from the CARE act.

He was a businessman and billionaire before he became a politician. So it’s normal to generate that amount of money. But how can someone justify how Obama, Nancy pelosi etc.. became rich after entering politics

No matter the outcome of the election, the US needs reforms as to a candidate's business holding and debts. Voters need to know if a candidate has been or can be compromised, especially by a foreign power hostile to the US.
