Donald Trump Appears to be Losing a Step (feat. Sarah Kendzior)

Financial disclosure documents reveal that Donald Trump made at least $2.2 billion in the year before his second term, triple his 2024 earnings, with $1.4 billion coming from cryptocurrency ventures including his memecoin. This unprecedented wealth accumulation during his presidency raises concerns about the abuse of office for personal gain, the influence of technocrats and oligarchs on financial systems, and the potential loss of national sovereignty through digital currency adoption. The disclosures also highlight broader issues of financial transparency, the role of financial advisers in channeling presidential wealth, and the intersection of political power with financial markets.
