Infusion of dollars into non-productive assets really just amounts to discretionary spending by his foolish supporters.

He is using their donations to sustain a luxurious lifestyle at their expense.

No bunco squad will pursue him.

the hypocrisy of the GOP is astounding. In what world would this be OK for a Democratic president? I don't care about his goofy cult followers.They can spend all their money to enrich him.
I am concerned about foreign actors and even American businesses paying him off for favors.

They are the worst parts of a ponzi scheme combined with the worst parts of gambling. Someone's getting rich - it ain't you!

$Trump crypto worth $50B on paper.

Guess who owns 80%?

A great tool for bribery too ..

Hey we don't want tariffs...$10B investment.

Hey we are attacking Taiwan $20B investment.

Hey we won't release the peepee tape...here is $40B

Which gets us back to the answer to the title .. $40B .. and that's just the public price and payout. Also this is just one of many side hustles Trump has already acknowledged as we are still at the early stages of Trump2
