Trump's Wealth Tripled: Who Really Benefits?

Sen. Bernie Sanders recently pointed out that President Donald Trump's wealth has nearly tripled since he took office. This huge increase, according to Sanders, is largely due to Trump's crypto ventures, which he believes are funded by foreign governments.

Sanders argues that this wealth surge comes at a time when many Americans are struggling to afford basic needs like food, housing, and healthcare.

A Call for Leadership Focused on the Underprivileged

Sanders used this opportunity to call for a president who focuses on improving the lives of the underprivileged rather than enriching themselves. He emphasized the need for leaders who prioritize the well-being of millions of Americans who are struggling to make ends meet.

Trump's Wealth Fluctuations

Trump's wealth has seen significant ups and downs recently.

• November 2025: His net worth dropped by over $1 billion due to a decline in his technology company's stock value and a crypto market crash.
• Just a month later: His wealth increased by over $500 million in a single day after his company, Trump Media & Technology Group, announced a merger.

Advocacy for Economic Equality

Sanders, known for his advocacy for economic equality, has been vocal about the growing wealth disparity in the U.S. He has criticized the increasing fortunes of a few billionaires while millions of Americans struggle to afford necessities.

Sanders believes that the focus should be on addressing these inequalities and improving the lives of those who are most vulnerable.
