Fun fact: When Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee in 2024, he started forming dozens of new companies to profit off the presidency. Since that moment, he's formed at least 76 new companies. He's created at least 36, that we know of, just since taking office. He made $2.2 billion in 2025.

And to be clear, I'm not exaggerating when I say that the most lucrative business decision Trump ever made was his 2024 run for president. Forbes has been tracking Trump's wealth since the early 80s, and they referred to 2025 as "the most lucrative year of his life"

reminders for the people: (1) getting rid of the shell company transparency law / rules was in Project 2025 (pg. 707) (2) these are the businesses *that we know of* - he is likely tied to dozens more (3) this is why PUBLIC incorporation registries tying entities to real human owners matters!

Trump spent his entire first term trying to profit off the presidency, to mixed results. This data shows just how intentional he has been about making his return to "public service" the most lucrative thing he's ever done in his life.

You might be thinking this is par for the course for Trump. After all, his first term was a cesspool of corruption and conflicts of interest. It was, but Trump actually almost entirely stopped creating new businesses when he came into office last time.

In his first year back in office, Trump made $859 million just from the companies he started after becoming the presumptive GOP nominee. For context, that's more than he made in the first two years in his first term from ALL SOURCES.

Robert Maguire @robertmaguire.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee on March 12, 2024, and within days, he started creating new companies and slapping his name on products. He hasn't stopped since. The tally now stands at 81 new businesses—36 since taking office (he started two more while I was drafting this report)

This is correct, but also another reason why Democrats have to lean into accountability and oversight as hard as possible when they retake Congress. It's not just about punishing criminals. It's about making it clear to the country the depth of the damage done to ready them for the repairs.

Say you were born on roughly the same day as Jesus, and I came to you and told you that I would pay you $1 million every single day—including weekends—until today. And say you didn't spend a penny of it until today. The richest man in the world would still have more than $250 billion more than you

"I was asleep, I did not want to get up, and these policemen came in the door," the 81-year-old said in a follow-up video. "They locked me out. I didn't know what was going on, but it was kinda fun. My kid and my grandkid were hugging me; I don't get that kind of attention normally. Then I got to ride in a police car. I've never ridden in a police car before. Then it was all over, so I thought 'Well, I've gotta go to bed', so I took an ibuprofen and went to bed."
