'Say what now?': Bessent dismisses Trump conflict of interest concerns - The Weekend - MS NOW



Trump's latest financial disclosure revealed that his business ventures raked in more than $2 billion in 2025 alone.

Yesterday, during his Independence Day speech at the "Salute to America" celebration on the national mall, Trump spoke about American history, but made sure to inject partisan politics and tout what he views as accomplishments. Boasting about the stock market appears to be a familiar pattern for Trump whenever troubling news on the economy is released.

And while Americans continue to voice their frustrations about the high cost of living and stagnant wages, Trump is generating an obscene amount of wealth in his second term. - Aired on 07/05/2026.
