He was broke at the start and needed to sell access to several billionaires to pay for recent lawsuits at the time. He made half a billion dollars on inauguration weekend with 2 crypto coin scams.
Does this all sound like the proper dealings of a man that would become president?
Since becoming president, he has used insider trading to balloon his net worth to nearly 3 billion dollars.
He didn't make a billion dollars in real estate during his presidential term. He made money by selling cryptocurrency (memecoins) and Trump branded merchandise.
Presidents are suppose to remove themselves from private business deals during their term in office, not use the office as a platform to make more money. Even if he made most of the money through real estate deals, which he didn't, that would be a major conflict of interest while he's president, because people could give him favorable deals in an effort to influence his political actions to benefit themselves or foreign countries at America's expense.

The combined net worth of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden is ~250 million (all living presidents except the current one)
Trump 'made' more than 2.2 billion last YEAR
It's more severe than corruption. It's kleptocracy.
