We can’t control what others do and we can’t stop misfortune from striking. But we can control our own actions. Those who are financially prudent will most likely enjoy success, even if events don’t always go their way.
And MAGA praises him for not taking a salary…yup they really do🫤
Government ethics watchdogs have criticized Trump for expanding his business empire while in office. “The president’s conflicts of interest with the crypto industry are unprecedented,” said Kedric Payne, senior director of ethics at the Campaign Legal Center, an ethics watchdog group. “We have never seen a president have direct conflicts of interest with his financial holdings and the policies he supports, and it’s another example why we need widespread ethics reform now.”
In a statement Tuesday, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said Trump had turned America into the “crypto capital of the world.”
“Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged—or will ever engage—in conflicts of interest,” she said. “All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people.”
(That is the funniest, no, most outrageous thing I read since 2016). Anna Kelly should be ashamed of herself. It’s pure…
Every time he posts on Truth Social there is a conflict, his outrageous posts generate traffic, hence revenue, hence boosting the stock price…or trying to.
(Everything he does is self-promotion, just look about. He is motivated by his narcissism and warped ideology and as he has said, he cares nothing about the American people and has done nothing in their collective benefit.)
The annual disclosure arrived a month after a separate report showed a surge in stock trading by the president in the first quarter. Tuesday’s filing also didn’t include ventures linked to Trump’s eldest sons, who now lead the Trump Organization and have made investments into drone makers, bitcoin miners and more since Trump’s re-election.
Trump reported $4.7 million in income last year from Trump-branded watches, as well as $1.9 million in royalties from his “Save America” book. Multimillion-dollar licensing deals linked to real-estate developers stretched from Romania to India to across the Middle East. A $6,484-a-month pension from the Screen Actors Guild continued paying out.

There is an irony to all this. Every American knows all this is true, they know what kind of person he is, they hear it and read it everyday, because he can’t hide it, he thinks it’s normal, what he is entitled to. And yet despite that, the brains of some Americans will not let them accept the truth, the facts.
