This is according to Forbes, who reports that since Trump assumed the Oval Office, his net worth has skyrocketed from $2.3 billion in 2024 to $6.5 billion in 2026.

If you look at the breakdown, he has $2.1B in crypto and liquid assets, $1.2B in Trump Media, $1.5B in golf clubs and resorts, $1.2B in real estate, and $454M in ‘other'…whatever that is.

I wanted to show this to you guys because we always hear Trump whine and complain about how he “sacrificed so much” to be president.

In reality, the guy tripled his net worth in less than two years, and is now one of the richest men in the world—all while gas, rent, and grocery prices are at an all-time high for the rest of us who do not have $6.5 billion.

P.S. If I were in charge at the DNC, I’d throw up billboards of this chart across the country. Just saying!

Last night, Lindsey Graham announced that Republicans are introducing legislation to allocate $400 million from the federal budget (our tax dollars) to construct a White House ballroom, which he claims is necessary for “security” purposes following the Correspondent’s Dinner.

Fun fact

The Correspondent’s Dinner wasn’t even held at the White House. It was held at the Washington Hilton.

So even if there was a ballroom, it would not have prevented the shooter from entering that night.

Another fun fact

Trump bragged in February of 2025 that the ballroom was entirely paid for by private donors, saying: “We did this with no charge to the taxpayer whatsoever. This was all donations by friends of mine and people who love our country, love the White House. Not one penny. And it's very expensive ballroom.”

Side note: Where did all of that money go?

Bottom line

Trump and Republicans campaigned on reducing the cost of living. But how does building a nearly half-billion dollar ballroom reduce the cost of living?’ It doesn’t.

If anything, it increases the cost of living. That money could go toward housing, healthcare, or literally anything that impacts everyday Americans.

At a time where affordability is front and center, $400 million for a ballroom stands out like a sore thumb.

There’s the message.

For starters

Trump announced he’s building a $200 million ballroom inside the White House — which he claims will be funded by “private donors.”

But let’s be real

They’ll find a way to make sure we, the taxpayers, foot the bill — just like we did for his Scotland golf trip.

All while he slashes Medicaid and cuts social programs to “balance the budget” — a.k.a. give himself and his billionaire donors tax breaks.

Plus

This morning’s jobs report was brutal.

Far fewer jobs were added than predicted in July, and unemployment also came in higher than expected.

Even in Las Vegas, tipped workers say their income has “fallen by half” due to a steep drop in tourism.

What we’re seeing

This is the delayed but inevitable reaction to Trump’s tariffs (and his anti-foreigner, anti-immigrant policies).

Less tourism. Fewer jobs. Lower wages. And higher unemployment.

And just to make it worse

Trump reinstated another round of “Liberation Day” tariffs this morning — which instantly tanked the stock market.

P.S. Don’t look at your portfolios today, unless you want to cry!

Meanwhile, Trump and MAGA are staring down a political nightmare

This morning

The felon “cut the ribbon” at his new golf course in Scotland, which he humbly called Trump International Golf Links Aberdeen, as part of a PR commercial to bring in revenue.

In fact, the White House shamelessly helped promote the ribbon-cutting ceremony on their official account.

I know we’ve grown accustomed to this level of blatant corruption, but this one could take the cake. I mean… the White House is literally using their platform to promote Trump’s private business.

In other words

We all just footed the estimated $10 million bill to fly Trump, his family, and the Secret Service to Scotland — so they could open yet another overseas golf club — which is of zero benefit to America or the American people.

Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse.

Meanwhile, the Epstein/Maxwell cover-up is now kicking into high gear

If you thought denying the list’s existence was bad, the latest tactic by Trump to distance himself from Epstein is as rotten as it gets:

Over the weekend

Scottish newspaper The National torched Trump on their front page ahead of his taxpayer-funded golf excursion.

“Convicted US Felon To Arrive In Scotland: Republican leader, who was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, will visit golf courses.”

A 10/10 headline, which, by the way, is 100% accurate.

Take notes, American media.

Then

On Friday late afternoon, when most people were signing off for the weekend (and not paying attention to the news), Trump’s DOJ offered Ghislaine Maxwell “limited immunity” in return for her closed-door testimony.

Yep — the party that raves about “protecting children from groomers” just granted immunity to a serial child groomer, pedophile, and convicted sex trafficker.

After that happened

Azealia Banks, a famous rapper and infamous Trump supporter, said she’s “not mad” if Trump illegally slept with a 15-year-old — and said people should “move on” so long as the girls he had underage sex with were “13+.”

Here’s her full quote, which she posted on her X account:

“Ok in Donald Trumps defense - f**king 14 year old girls was really only made a social taboo in the 1990’s…I’m honestly not surprised or mad at Trump for getting some 15 year old p**sy because those were the times…. Now … if he was f**king a TEN YEAR OLD???? …. We have a problem. But if the girls were 13+, - who cares move on.”

When I said Trump brings out the worst in voters in last week’s column, I never thought it would lead to them taking a pro-molestation position — but alas, their depravity has no bottom.

And somehow, it gets worse

Not only did Trump’s DOJ offer Maxwell immunity while his supporters publicly justified pedophilia, but his latest ploy in the Epstein cover-up might be the dirtiest one yet:

Last night

The New York Times found that there are 100,000 additional Epstein-related documents that Trump’s DOJ is refusing to release to the public.

That is a significant amount of files — files in which we know Trump’s name appears several times, according to his own Attorney General, Pam Bondi.

Also last night

Ghislaine Maxwell was spotted walking out of a DOJ meeting carrying a box of files — which is incredibly suspicious in and of itself, given the fact that Trump’s White House is shielding documents from the American people.

All the more reason to make Maxwell’s testimony public — instead of keeping it private with, of all people, Trump’s attorney.

Plus

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Epstein birthday book compiled by Maxwell in 2003 had a section labeled "Friends" — Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Alan Dershowitz were listed under that section.

And the New York Times discovered yet another letter Trump wrote to Epstein, this time signing one of his books over to him with a note that reads: “To Jeff — YOU ARE THE GREATEST!”

That’s a lot of praise for a man who molested, abused, and sold children as sex slaves.

The proof is stacking up, and that’s not even the worst part

If you thought hiding 100,000 files and writing personal admiration notes to Epstein during the height of his child sex-trafficking ring was bad, Trump’s latest move might be the biggest red flag yet:
