Al Franken - David Kirkpatrick on Trump's Immense and Shameless Profiteering [View all]
One of Donald Trump's most successful initiatives in his second term has been making himself and his family richer than ever. We're joined by The New Yorkers David Kirkpatrick, who earlier this year wrote a piece outlining all the ways the legendary grifters have cashed in during Trumps presidency.
The Trump family has long been associated with shameless cash grabs, but we have reached new levels of corruption by using his office for their money-making schemes: international real estate deals, Trump-branded merchandise, and cryptocurrency.
David lays out the long list of ethical implications involved and calculates the staggering amount of money Donald Trump and his family have made off of his presidency. - 11/30/2025.
