How Trump’s family enriched themselves – Google Search google.com/search?q=HowTrump…
Donald Trump and his family have been widely reported to have financially benefited from his time in and out of office by leveraging his name and the presidency itself for various business ventures, which critics argue presents significant ethical conflicts of interest. [1, 2]
Key ways the Trump family enriched themselves include:Foreign Government and Special Interest Payments: The Trump Organization received millions in payments from foreign governments, special interest groups, and political campaigns, often through patronage at Trump-owned hotels, resorts, and golf courses (such as Mar-a-Lago and the Trump International Hotel in D.C.). This has raised concerns about violations of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause.
New International Business Deals: While in office during his first term, the Trump family pledged to abstain from new overseas deals, a promise that was later abandoned. After he left office and in his second term, the Trumps pursued numerous new ventures abroad, with major projects announced in the Persian Gulf (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar) and Serbia, often involving large investments from sovereign wealth funds and foreign entities with close ties to their governments.
Cryptocurrency Ventures: The Trump family launched several cryptocurrency-related ventures, including the sale of a $TRUMP meme coin and the creation of the firm World Liberty Financial, which received a $2 billion investment from an investment firm controlled by the Saudi crown prince. These ventures have generated significant income through sales proceeds and trading fees, and critics allege Trump’s public statements on crypto have influenced their value.
Leveraging the Trump Brand: The presidency increased the visibility and perceived value of the Trump name globally, leading to lucrative licensing and branding deals that might have been impossible otherwise. Revenue from properties like Mar-a-Lago saw significant increases during his time in office.
Jared Kushner’s Investments: Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, raised billions of dollars for his private equity firm, Aforo Capital, primarily from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, including a $2 billion investment from the Saudi Public Investment Fund. He also pursued a real estate development in Serbia with Middle Eastern funding. Ivanka Trump’s work on the Opportunity Zones program while in the White House raised conflict of interest concerns as Jared Kushner held a significant stake in a company that benefited from the program. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]Ethics experts and government watchdogs have noted that the Trumps’ refusal to fully divest from their businesses created unprecedented conflicts of interest, as individuals and foreign governments could patronize their properties to curry favor with the president. While a precise total of the profits directly attributable to the presidency is difficult to quantify due to the opaque nature of the Trump Organization’s finances, various reports and trackers estimate billions in financial gains.

🇷🇺 The famous Russian military officer and now public figure, General Leonid Ivashov, harshly criticized the Russian government regarding the Russia-Ukraine war:
🔻”The fact that we advanced somewhere near Pokrovsk is only a tactical success; we have no successes at the operational-tactical level, and at the strategic level, we have suffered defeat in all directions.”
🔻”A strategic defeat will lead to the collapse of Russia,” – however, he did not specify what is meant by this strategic defeat.
🔻”The fact that we are isolated and the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council are making statements supporting Ukraine is already our strategic defeat.”
🔻”Our leadership boasts that no one has weapons like ours. It would be more accurate to say that nowhere else in the military field do they steal as much as we do.”
🔻”We cling to the Burevestnik missile and the nuclear torpedo Poseidon like waterlogged moss. In reality, the US will be able to destroy us before they achieve their goal if we shoot at them.”
🔻For reference: General Ivashov opposed the start of military operations in Ukraine in 2022 and urged Putin not to take this step. “This war will threaten the very existence of Russia,” Ivashov wrote at the time.
