$3.4 billion. The running total of how much Trump profited from the presidency since entering the WH in 2017

House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary
$3.4 billion. That’s the running total of how much Trump has profited from the presidency since entering the White House in 2017.

In Trump’s Gangster State, holding public office is first and foremost about plunder and for private gain.

Trump has purchased at least $103 million worth of corporate and municipal bonds since he took office again, according to new filings from the Office of Government Ethics.

Trump made about 690 purchases from Jan. 21 through Aug. 1.

The active trading by a president of the United States is unprecedented.
