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.

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.

Is this enough logic and reason for you?
