President Trump has made more money while in office than most of us can even conceive of. In 2025, he took in more than $2.2 billion, according to financial disclosures that we’ve been parsing here at The New York Times.

    Another fucking dumb headline. The real question is whether all the criminals will ever be held accountable. Not that I’m optimistic in that regard.

      The President is only accountable to half the US House and 1/3 of US Senators. As long as 218 House members back him, he won’t get impeached. And even failing that, as long as 34 Senators back him, he won’t get punished.

      It turns out he has enough support within Congress to keep grifting. Is he giving them a cut?

    “Is crime still illegal for rich republikans?”

    No sense clicking the clickbait. The answer is no.

    Most Republicans value in-group solidarity more than things like justice or truth. So no, not unless Trump somehow becomes out-group.

    Maybe if we start a conspiracy that he’s actually Jewish… No, that’s like trying to use The One Ring.

    He might be rich, but he shits shis pants, can’t sleep, is physically in a state, his mind is addled, his wife hates him, everyone close to him can’t stand to be so. He’s in his own little private hell.

      There is no amount of suffering that could make up for what he has done. That said, I’d like to see that theory tested. I would love to be proven wrong.

    Probably not.

    The same dipshits that think Pedolf Shitler is a Bigly Good At Bidness Guy, and think him cheating on his taxes is a good thing, also think he’s just great at making money because he’s their favorite con man and they have no clue that he’s conning them, too. They probably all cheer when they hear how much the Rapist-in-Chief made, in many cases, directly taking money from his supporters.
