OREANDA-NEWS   In eight years, the income of US President Donald Trump has almost quadrupled. The New York Times (NYT) reports on the soaring profits of the politician.

During his first presidency, Trump ran the largest business empire. In 2017, his business was based on golf clubs and real estate, which generated about $528 million out of a total revenue of $594 million.

By the second presidential term, Trump's empire had transformed. In 2025, the total revenue, according to the publication, reached $ 2.24 billion. World Liberty Financial, a family—owned cryptocurrency company, brought him almost 800 million, and TRUMP memcoin brought him another 636 million. At the same time, the traditional golf and real estate business grew by only about 4 percent, and now accounts for less than a quarter of total revenue. Foreign projects, including in the Middle East, accounted for about 125 million of this amount.

Another important source of income in 2025 was the settlement agreements, which earned about 117 million. The sale of watches, books and bibles under the Trump brand brought him another $17 million.

Earlier, Trump was accused of failing to fulfill his election promise to increase the number of factory jobs and improve the lives of the middle class. It turned out that the number of workers in the country continued to decrease, and combined with the aging of the indigenous population, there are fewer and fewer people in the United States who are ready to take jobs.
