Exactly! No one.
He'll probably pocket 40-50 billion dollars from the grift he engages in during his second term.
And, if we're lucky, he'll die before he gets to enjoy any of it.
And if we're doubly lucky, Democrats will control both houses of congress after the 2028 election and start the process to recover all that stolen money under the emoluments clause.
