Speaking to reporters before boarding the new Air Force One, a plane gifted by the Qatari government, US President Donald Trump rejected accusations that he is “profiting off the presidency” following scrutiny of his latest financial disclosures, which reported more than $2.2 billion in income during 2025, including over $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency-related ventures.
Trump said he does not manage his own investments, explaining that “I don’t get involved in my personal… we have funds that run my money” and “I don’t even speak to them.” He said independent financial institutions oversee his assets without his involvement.
Responding to criticism, Trump said, “The stock market’s going up. Everybody’s profiting,” arguing that many Americans had also benefited through retirement savings. He added, “I’ve had a great career in business,” maintaining that his reported wealth reflects long-standing business success rather than his presidency.
The financial disclosures have renewed debate over presidential finances, cryptocurrency investments and potential conflicts of interest, with the White House rejecting allegations that the president has acted improperly.
