New Analysis Finds #TrumpFamily Has Raked in $3.4 Billion Off the #Presidency

America’s first family is conducting its #grift in full view of the public, but the profits remain a guessing game

by Nikki McCann Ramirez
August 12, 2025

"Even before Donald #Trump officially began his second term in office, his family businesses were beginning the race to milk the presidency for every cent they could. Now, a new analysis from The New Yorker has put a potential dollar figure on how much Trump’s #crypto ventures, real estate deals, licensing agreements, and other grifts have netted America’s first family over the course of Trump’s time in politics: a staggering $3.4 billion.

"The total is an estimate, as the #TrumpOrganization and its various auxiliary companies and ventures — which are largely under the control of the president’s adult children — have not been entirely transparent regarding their finances.

"The New Yorker estimated that the president’s various #cryptocurrency had generated at least $2.37 billion in value, financial investments coordinated by #DonaldTrumpJr. and #EricTrump have generated $339.6 million, and Trump’s flagship #MarALago resort in #PalmBeach, Florida, has raked in $125 million in extra profits."

A sign with two people in adirondack chairs, with a BBQ between them. One is a man with orange skin, blonde hair, a red tropical shirt and blue jeans, holding a drink. The other is a woman with pale skin, brown hair, black shirt and pants, and holding a drink. One is named "Don" and the other "Melania". Text: Welcome to our pool. We don't swim in your toilet, so don't peel in our pool.

In 2025, an #Arkansas appeals panel severely limited how the Voting Rights Act can be enforced. It eliminates a vital mechanism for communities of color and voters with disabilities to challenge discriminatory voting practices.

The case was appealed to the #SupremeCourt. The Court declined to review, leaving in place the lower court ruling.

The decision strips the private right to sue under Section 208 of the landmark civil rights Voting Rights Act, which allows voters with a disability or those unable to read or write to receive voting assistance from a person of their choice.

They seem to think if they can stop us from voting, they can stop us from rising. They will not.

If Spain can do it, we can too.

>Spain’s Supreme Court has delivered a decision in the first trial of the so-called Koldo case, focused on alleged corrupt practices in the public purchase of facemasks during the Covid-19 pandemic. The court’s Criminal Chamber has sentenced José Luis Ábalos, who was the minister overseeing the department in charge of the contracts, to 24 years and three months in prison. Two other key figures in the case, former ministerial adviser Koldo García and businessman Víctor de Aldama, were sentenced to 18 years and a half and four years and a half, respectively, for running “a criminal organization” whose aim was to obtain a profit “by virtue of the office held by Ábalos.”

My full statement on DOJ's politically motivated investigation: Today's ruling is a victory for the rule of law and our democracy. A federal district judge found that the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation into me and other Minnesota elected officials was politically motivated, unconstitutional, and meritless. 1am proud to have joined Minnesotans in exercising our fundamental American freedoms - of speech, assembly, to disagree with our government. These rights are enshrined in our Constitution. And, they are what makes America great. An independent judiciary is a pillar of our democracy. It's one reason why the U.S. has been that shining city on the hill for nearly 250 years. The U.S. Justice Department is pursuing criminal investigations into the President's political opponents. This case was just one example of that, but we are seeing daily reminders of this administration's lawlessness — in Minnesota and around the country. We all must continue to seek justice and uphold the rule of law. I will never stop exercising my constitutional rights to stand up for Minnesotans and the American freedoms that we hold dear. “3 2. min MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ

Doesn't JD Vance have his own security clearance to access the DOD computer systems? Who is this woman on the ID? Why doesn't Vance have and use his own clearance?

A card can be seen inserted into the laptop sitting in Vance’s lap that appears to be a Common Access Card (CAC), an identification card used by U.S. defense personnel. The photograph on the card, however, appears to be of a woman and not of Vance.

"Israeli actions in Lebanon – & Trump’s failure to stop them – could lead to the breakdown of Iran-US diplomacy".

Netanyahu needs the war in Lebanon because it's postponing the inevitable for him. And he desperately needs Trump because of his domestic prosecution for corruption.

And even if Netanyahu wanted to abide by Trump's deal, he's under too much pressure from his coalition's right party, which is gaining strength among Jewish Israeli youth.

Nowadays, right-wing policies appear almost invariably driven by the egregious extremism of the Far Right, or Further Right...

Does a moderate, sensible, almost-centrist Right still exist in this and other Western countries?

Or is it a silly question - is a moderate, pragmatic Right essentially an oxymoron?

One more horrific thing from the Trump administration that I almost missed (and you might have, too):
https://www.npr.org/2026/06/20/nx-s1-5865100/doj-memo-trump-disability-civil-rights-institutionalization

The Justice Department released a memo this week that quietly calls into question decades of civil rights protections for Americans with disabilities and stirred fear and anger among advocates and families.

The memo, an opinion from the Office of Legal Counsel, argues that states do not have to provide in-home or community-based care to people with disabilities who need support.

Without the federal government requiring that states provide these services – to help disabled people integrate into their communities – advocates and legal experts warn that cash-strapped states could cut them and return to what was once common practice: de facto segregation of Americans with disabilities in nursing homes and large institutions.

US feds (DHS, FBI, fusion centers) are now treating "anti-tech extremism" as a domestic threat, per 1000+ leaked docs Wired got via FOIA. The label is so broad it lumps actual violent cults in with peaceful data-center protesters, AI skeptics, and people just speaking up at town halls or on social media.
