Trump’s Personal Fortune Surges as Critics Point to Historic Monetization of Presidency
Jun 3, 2025 | Bakersfield, World & Nation

Investigations by multiple news outlets, including the New York Times, Bloomberg News, PBS, and Open Secrets, reveal that since returning to power, Trump and his family have significantly expanded their business empire, using the presidency as leverage to capitalize on a level of influence and impunity that has redrawn the boundaries of acceptable conduct in Washington.
