I would disagree. He and his family have lined their pockets just like every other politician.

You have an issue with 10% to the big guy now?

I'd like to see your proof that supports that comment.

Why? You will just dismiss it without any rebuttal evidence because you think it makes Trump look bad. Trump is who he is: a malignant narcissist who happens to be our greatest recent president.
Both things can be true.

It's a waste of time to retrieve articles separately. Here's ChatGPT's summary for Trump's self-enrichment.

###########

The strongest case is the intersection of Trump's private crypto businesses with federal policy.

The argument is unusually concrete because it involves a direct financial interest, a business whose value is affected by government policy, and presidential actions affecting that industry.
Trump's family-controlled crypto ventures—including World Liberty Financial and the $TRUMP meme coin—generated very large amounts of revenue/income during his second term. His 2026 financial disclosure reported roughly $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency-related gains/income during 2025, according to PolitiFact's analysis.

At the same time, the Trump administration made cryptocurrency a major policy priority, including signing the GENIUS Act, which established a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins. Critics argue that creates an unusually direct overlap between presidential policymaking and the president's family's financial interests.

The situation is especially striking with World Liberty Financial's USD1 stablecoin. A state-backed Abu Dhabi investment entity used USD1 in a roughly $2 billion Binance transaction, while the Trump family retained a substantial financial interest in World Liberty. The Brennan Center has documented the resulting foreign-emoluments concerns.

There is also evidence that purchasers of the Trump meme coin were given access to the president: Trump invited the largest buyers to a private dinner and gave the top purchasers a White House tour. The Brennan Center reports that many of the largest purchasers appeared to be foreign nationals.

That produces the basic self-enrichment argument:
Trump retained substantial economic interests in businesses whose profitability could be affected by presidential policy, while his administration pursued policies favorable to those businesses and, in some cases, the businesses received money from foreign actors.
That's considerably stronger than simply saying “Trump became richer while president.” Becoming richer isn't evidence of self-enrichment by itself; the critical issue is the connection between governmental power and a private financial benefit.

There is also a second, potentially significant issue: Trump's enormous number of securities transactions. His 2025 disclosure contained more than 20,000 trades, and some lawmakers have questioned whether particular transactions corresponded with government decisions. For example, they have pointed to Boeing purchases and subsequent government announcements. Those allegations are worth investigating, but they are currently a less developed evidentiary case than the crypto issue.

So if I had to identify one factual episode that most directly supports the self-enrichment allegation, I'd choose the Trump family's cryptocurrency businesses—not Trump's hotel business, merchandise, or simply the increase in his wealth. The crypto case has the clearest combination of private financial benefit + presidential regulatory authority + foreign money + presidential access.

This.

He and/or his family isn't doing much different in the grifting category than the previous good ole boys before him and the rest of the D.C. swamp. However, he's still got many of his good, loyal foot soldiers out and about claiming his doing all this out of the goodness of his own heart. "He and his family have sacrificed and lost so much for this country" types. Like the brainwashed who thought Barack Obama was the second coming and such a selfless leader.

I don't know if this thinking is too complex for you, but the hallmark of TDS is opposing things done just because Trump did them. I have never done that.

In fact, I don't see many (if any) on the Board who have actual TDS.
