Trump reports hundreds of millions of dollars from crypto, golf, licensing fees
US President Donald Trump participates in an Invest America Roundtable in the State Dining room, at the White House, in Washington D.C., June 9, 2025. REUTERS/ Evelyn Hockstein US President Donald Trump reported hundreds of millions of dollars in income from crypto, golf clubs and licensing ventures in a public financial disclosure report released on Friday that provided a glimpse of the vast business holdings of America's billionaire president. The annual financial disclosure form, which appeared to cover the 2024 calendar year, shows the president's push into crypto added substantially to his wealth but he also reported large fees from developments and revenues from his other businesses. While Trump has said he has put his businesses into a trust managed by his children, the disclosures show how income from them still ultimately accrue to the president — something that has opened him to conflicts of interest. Some of his businesses in areas such as crypto, for example, benefit from US policy shifts under him and have become a source of criticism. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The financial disclosure was signed on June 13 and did not state the time period it covered. The details of the cryptocurrency listings, as well as other information in the disclosure, suggest it was through the end of December 2024, which would exclude most of the money raised by the family's cryptocurrency ventures. Given the speed at which the Trump family has made deals during his ascent to the presidency, the filing is already a time capsule of sorts, capturing a period when they were just starting to get into crypto but were largely still in the world of real estate deals and golf clubs. A meme coin released earlier this year by the president – $TRUMP – alone has earned an estimated $320 million in fees, though it's not publicly known how that amount has been divided between a Trump-controlled entity and its partners. In addition to the meme coin fees, the Trump family has raked in more than $400 million from World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance company. The Trump family is involved, also, with a bitcoin mining operation and digital asset exchange-traded funds. In the disclosures, Trump reported $57.35 million from token sales at World Liberty. He also reported holding 15.75 billion governance tokens in the venture. The wealth of the Republican businessman-turned-politician ranges from crypto to real estate, and a large part on paper is tied up in his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group, owner of social media platform Truth Social. The disclosure showed income from various assets including Trump's properties in Florida. Trump's three golf-focused resorts in the state – Jupiter, Doral and West Palm Beach – plus his nearby private members' club at Mar-a-Lago generated at least $217.7 million in income, according to the filing. The disclosure also listed income of $5 million in license fees from a development in Vietnam. Trump collected royalty money, also, from a variety of deals – $1.3 million from the Greenwood Bible (its website describes it as "the only Bible officially endorsed by Lee Greenwood and President Trump"); $2.8 million from Trump Watches, and $2.5 million from Trump Sneakers and Fragrances. Trump listed $1.16 million in income from his NFTs – digital trading cards in his likeness while First Lady Melania Trump earned around $216,700 from license fees her own NFT collection. —Reuters

Trump, 78, Has Got Another Mystery Bruise on His Hand
The massive bruise on President Donald Trump's right hand has returned. The pronounced mark on the president's dominant hand was first noticed in the Spring of 2024, during his Manhattan court battle against former porn star Stormy Daniels. It has been spotted several times since. It was most pronounced in February after what the White House claimed was a grueling schedule of hand-shaking, following a summit with French President Emmanuel Macron. In April, it was seen again during a presentation ceremony for the Commander-in-Chief Trophy in Washington, D.C. as Trump clutched a football. The bruise now appears to have resurfaced. It is visible in shots of the president at Fort Bragg military base in North Carolina, where he denounced L.A. rioters and promised to rename military bases during a Tuesday speech supposed to be about the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. On Monday, Trump—who recently stumbled and nearly fell when walking up the steps into Air Force One—spoke at the Invest America Roundtable in the State Dining room at the White House. At one point he lifted his hand, revealing a brownish color permeating around the area under his knuckles. Also on Monday, Trump sat down with journalist Miranda Devine in the White House library for the maiden episode of the New York Post's new podcast, called Pod Force One. The 42-minute interview was released Wednesday morning, with the president talking about everything from the unrest in Los Angeles to his faltering relationship with Elon Musk. The president, who turns 79 on Saturday, was ranting about his predecessor, Joe Biden, when the bruise first became visible. This time, the mark appeared to be covered in makeup. In her subsequent column, published Wednesday, Devine mentioned the bruising. 'He will endure constant bruises on the back of his hands from well-wishers showing their gratitude with vigorous handshakes that he reciprocates warmly, even though he's a renowned (maybe reformed) germaphobe,' she wrote. A doctor said in February, after Trump's latest handshake showdown with Macron, that all of that 'aggressive' squeezing could indeed cause bruising. Dr Stuart Fischer, an internal medicine physician in New York, told the Daily Mail that age could also be a factor. He also mooted Osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease that breaks down cartilage and bone in the joints. 'I think it's probably all of those things together,' Fischer said. The Mayo Clinic says while easy bruising is common with age, it could be a sign of something more nefarious such as a blood-clotting condition or a blood disease. Before he jetted off to the Pope Army Airfield in Fort Bragg Trump was pictured covering the hand with his left as he sat in the Oval Office and addressed reporters and camera crews. He was met on the tarmac by Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll, who greeted him with a handshake. He also shook the hands of several officials and high-ranking officers, including Army Brigadier General John Cogbill. Excessive handshaking was the reason given for the president's brownish-blue hand back in February. 'President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other President in history,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Beast after people started to notice the mark. Leavitt added, in a statement to NBC News, 'President Trump has bruises on his hand because he's constantly working and shaking hands all day every day.' He gave a similar reason when interviewed by Time magazine for their 2024 Person of the Year issue. He explained that it came from 'shaking hands with thousands of people.' While Biden was the oldest ever president to serve in office, Trump is the oldest to be sworn into office. Trump and his close circle have long attacked Biden's apparent lack of fitness for office. Cries of a cover-up of his ailing health intensified after the release of Original Sin, a book by well-connected journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson. In one damning section of the book, the authors wrote that Joe Biden's close circle floated the idea of getting the aging politician a wheelchair if he was re-elected as president. 'Biden's physical deterioration—most apparent in his halting walk—had become so severe that there were internal discussions about putting the president in a wheelchair, but they couldn't do so until after the election,' it read. The White House has been contacted for comment on Trump's hand.

Rachel Maddow declares victory against Trump over immigration protests: ‘game over, you lose'
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow took aim at President Donald Trump on Monday and claimed he was 'panicking' over all the protests against him, telling him, 'Game over, big guy. You lose.' 'He has no idea what to do with the sustained and growing and intractable and indomitable protest and opposition of the American people against him. And so he has decided to try to fix it by using the army. Sure. Game over, big guy. You lose. The movement against Trump is unstoppable, now more than ever,' Maddow said on her once-a-week show. Advertisement Maddow argued that Trump's decision to send in the National Guard to help with the anti-ICE demonstrations in California was an example of the president not knowing how to handle a crisis. 'What we are seeing right now in California is a president panicking. We have never before in the history of the US presidency, seen a president who is less popular than this one at this point in his term. And we have never seen a president less politically skilled, less politically equipped than this one to turn that kind of problem around, and so he has panicked, he is trying to hit the eject button,' she said. Maddow argued during her show that someone convinced Trump 'attacking immigrants would work for him politically.' 3 Maddow argued that Trump's decision to send in the National Guard to help with the anti-ICE demonstrations in California was an example of the president not knowing how to handle a crisis. MSNBC Advertisement She insisted that the thousands of organized protests across the country proved that his immigration policy was becoming unpopular, although polling has shown majority support for his deportation program. 'In town after town, in blue states and red states, in school after school, in parish after parish, in city after city. It has run him into a wall, because the American people do not want this kind of cruelty against the immigrants who live among us and are our neighbors and friends, and facing that kind of heart and that kind of resolve, and that kind of nonviolent good cheer… he has no idea what to do,' she said. 3 U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during an Invest America Roundtable in the State Dining room, at the White House, in Washington, U.S., June 9, 2025. REUTERS 3 Maddow argued during her show that someone convinced Trump 'attacking immigrants would work for him politically.' MSNBC Advertisement Maddow has returned to only hosting her show once a week on Mondays after working every weekday throughout Trump's first 100 days. Maddow also criticized Trump's National Guard deployment during a conversation with fellow MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell at the start of his show on Monday. 'Even if these protests were 100 times the size that they are, there still wouldn't be an operational reason to bring in active-duty troops or federalized National Guard. I mean, it's not that sort of thing. This is obviously not operationally necessitated, right, in terms of the security of the city,' Maddow said. 'Rachel Maddow is a tragic example of an individual suffering from late-stage TDS. We hope she is able to get the help she needs and that other individuals suffering from this disease see how bad it can get, and seek help before it's too late!' White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
