一句话看懂
Trump reported $2.2bn in 2025 revenues from crypto, Truth Social, and foreign deals.
Ethics experts call it unprecedented corruption as oversight wanes.
背景
Trump's second presidency has been marked by his refusal to divest from his business empire, leading to thousands of conflicts of interest. In 2025, his financial disclosures showed at least $2.2 billion in revenue, far exceeding his first term's total. This surge is attributed to cryptocurrency ventures, Truth Social expansion, and foreign licensing deals, while federal ethics oversight has weakened.
