While most workers are concerned about food, housing, and healthcare costs, the Epstein class is wealthier than ever. Last year, almost a third of US wealth accumulated to the top 1%. Like the rest of his class, Trump is raking it in. He and his children have made at least $3 billion since his inauguration.

Before taking office, Trump was reportedly having financial problems. It was nothing new—he filed for bankruptcy six times between 1991 and 2009. But now that he’s back in the White House, he’s turned his luck around.

For example, Trump wouldn’t have seen his recent business success in the Persian Gulf region without his presidency. Trump has tried to build there for decades with no success, but since taking office, his companies have sealed several “megadeals” with Saudi elites.

Meanwhile, Truth Social and the shell companies of Trump Media & Technology Group netted over a billion dollars. He’s pumped up their value by releasing select presidential statements exclusively on his platform.

He’s also cashing in on the MAGA brand with an ocean of cheap merchandise. He’s the first president in history with a separate company hawking merch in competition with his official campaign.

Fleecing his supporters isn’t limited to souvenirs, it includes crypto as well. He’s made almost a billion from various memecoins and NFTs during his presidency.

These are only a few of the schemes Trump has used to get rich as commander-in-chief. He says America has “the greatest economy actually ever in history.” For the Epstein class, it is. But for those of us at the bottom, things are only getting worse. We won’t live comfortably until these parasites are out of the picture.
