David D. Kirkpatrick spent months tallying up how much the Trump family has pocketed off Trump’s time in the White House—golf course by golf course, crypto deal by crypto deal.
Donald Trump’s immediate family is making a dizzying sum of money that would be unimaginable without his Presidencies, including profits from overseas deals and at least five different crypto ventures.
David Kirkpatrick “decided to attempt to tally up just how much Trump and his immediate family have pocketed off his time in the White House [as of August 2025].” A reasonable estimate, he thinks: $3.4 BILLION.

As a military officer I am going to keep saying this---please stop framing this as "war crimes". There is no war here. We are not at war with a handful of drug runners off the coast of Venezuela. It's a extrajudicial killing. Calling it a "war crime" gives it legitimacy it does not have.
