It’s hard to know because there can be many ways to make money indirectly or in time delayed ways. Who knows how much his friends and family are profiting. Each time there is some wild swing one way and then the other on tariffs, I am pretty sure someone is making a lot of money off that. Meanwhile the rest of us are taken for a ride of uncertainty.
How can this be reliable, audited, and free from corruption? Anyone associated with this Admin is getting a cut either straight up (which we won't know until the full four years are over since they won't allow investigation), or discounts. They've already made AMD and NVIDIA give a cut of sales (which is crazy). It's all just too much money for them not to be thieving.
