Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.
In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.
A massive percentage came from foreigners.
It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.
But few even care. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.

Johnson slams the No Kings protest march scheduled to take place in DC next week as the “hate America rally” that would draw “the pro-Hamas wing” and “the antifa people.”
Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering
