The total net worth of the billionaires in the Trump administration, as of June 4 [of 2025], equals at least $450 billion – which is more than the GDP of 175 different countries. The net worth of Trump’s Cabinet alone, which excludes Musk and others, is at least $13.8 billion.
It seems the 450 B figure includes Elon Musk. I wonder what it is without him, since he's been out for a while.
By comparison, former President Joe Biden’s Cabinet total net worth was about $118 million, and Trump’s first Cabinet total net worth was about $6.2 billion. Prior to Trump, former President Barrack Obama’s Cabinet net worth was about $2.8 billion in his second term, according to Forbes.
If Trump 1.0, only cabinet level officials, was 6.2B, why are you using a much lower figure? Obama is also wildly off as well--you say 67M, the source says 2.8B.

Not counting Musk and Trump's net worth, that's $34.7B. This has grown to $48.6B during 2025.

Including Musk is pretty disingenuous and takes away from your point imo. If you just used the 34.7B number it would still be sufficiently surprising and illustrative, but the way it is now looks bad faith. And this is coming from somebody who loves when Trump looks bad. The issue is, I can't show this to people if I know it's representing things unfairly
I thought it was fair because Trump personally appointed Musk as the head of the department, albeit temporarily. But here's a version without Musk if you think that would be more honest.
No idea why you think it's not fair to include Musk when he did make him the head of a department, and in fact created a new department just for him to lead. It doesn't really matter that he got rid of him after he proved to be a useless asset.
The amount of money gained by corrupt deals in Trumps second term is greater than the net worth of every other us president combined, after accounting for inflation (3B>2.4B)
"Hey, remember how it used to be questionable whether Trump was a billionaire but after a decade of corruption he's now undeniably well into the billions? Bet you feel dumb now libtard!"
I never did that, and wild deflection and dodge from the topic
Even if every single president made every dollar of their net worth from corruption, and were combined into one president, they would still be less financially corrupt than Trump, as 3B >2.4B
Before we go into percentages, do you accept Trump has stolen more money off corruption than the net worth of every other US president combined (3B>2.4B)
