DOES a billion dollars matter? If you are a Trump acolyte, the answer is “not really”.
For when it emerged that US President Donald Trump earned more than US$1 billion in 2025 from digital currency interests, real estate and stock trades, the White House insisted that everything was legal.
Possibly so. But this looks (at best) unseemly, given that Trump also oversees policies in those areas. Doubly so since it also just emerged that the Trump family is investing in Kazakh mining in (yet) another deal that appears to blend government and personal business.
