Trump already had businesses when he became President. By becoming President, yes his personal brand got bigger so he was able to use the EOP as a branding vehicle. Contrast that with Clinton, Obama, Biden. Lifetime politicians with no other sources of wealth creation in terms of businesses like Trump and Bush had. Clinton, Obama, and Biden had Government salaries and their direct wealth growth was exponential by the time they got out.He announced at his U.N speech that he was worth 10 billion dollars, and that was up from the 3 billion dollars that he said he was worth when he campaigned for the presidency. He used the power of his position in government to bring in more big bucks from Arabian countries, money that he may not have gotten if he was not the president, due to his lousy credit since he could not get bank financing. The guy is a grifter.
Millions for Biden? Maybe if he did not spend his senate salaries to live on, like all government officials do. Trump made $400000 a year which adds up to one million and change after 3 years. I know he gave it away but that was a ruse due to all the cash he would accumulate while in office.
