BEST OF: David Kirkpatrick on Trump’s Shameless Profiteering
Saturday, 2 May, 2026

One of Donald Trump's most successful initiatives in his second term has been making himself and his family richer than ever. In this Best Of episode, we revisit our November 2025 conversation with The New Yorker’s David Kirkpatrick, who wrote a piece outlining all the ways the legendary grifters have cashed in during Trump’s presidency. The Trump family has long been associated with shameless cash grabs, but we have reached new levels of corruption by using his office for their money-making schemes: international real estate deals, Trump-branded merchandise, and cryptocurrency.David lays out the long list of ethical implications involved and calculates the staggering amount of money Donald Trump and his family have made off his presidency.READ David's piece “The Number” in The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/08/18/the-number
