Ventures launched by the Trump family since Donald Trump’s reelection have generated at least $4 billion in proceeds and paper wealth for the Trump family.
With investments across sectors like real estate, hospitality, media, cryptocurrency and more,
the Trumps are “increasingly integrating their business empire”
into the wider U.S. economy,
says David Uberti, who has been reporting on the family’s self-enrichment for The Wall Street Journal.
The coupling of T…

Michael Wolff, a longtime chronicler of Trump’s White House who conducted extensive interviews with Epstein prior to his death, told The Daily Beast last month that
Epstein had shown him photos of Trump with half-naked “young girls” in his lap.
