To the editor:

This week trump disclosed his 2025 income, a jaw dropping 2.2 $billion for 2025; 3.32 times as much as he reports for 2024.The corruption buffet here was his 1.4 $billion profit on cryptocurrency while his investors lost 2.3 $billion. Another part of the corruption buffet was his over 20,000 stock trades where many heavy days of trading closely aligned with major announcements on policy or tariffs while he opposes stock-trading restrictions that apply to the president. Another is the money he made from the lawsuits he filed against ABC, CBS, META, YOUTUBE & X who had dealings pending that the federal government could influence. And another is the $400 million Qatar jet that has been converted for presidential use at a cost of $500 million and which trump says he is going to keep. And another is his pardons that occur mysteriously after donations to PACS or other entities. And another is his pardons wiping out 1.3 $billion in restitution owed to victims of fraud. And another is his blanket awarding of no-bid contracts to friends including the reflection pool and the 500 $million white house ballroom. He, his family, and friends are STUFFING THEIR POCKETS WITH CASH while cutting food stamps, affordable care health insurance, medicaid, national park maintenance and causing rising inflation.
