Donald Trump: President, watch dealer, bible salesman
Seems like everyone’s got multiple jobs these days, even world leaders.
In between sending the military into Los Angeles and staging his North Korea-style birthday parade, Donald Trump quietly disclosed just how much money he made in 2024.
He revealed an income of more than $600-million, and assets of $1.6-billion, including crypto, and big profits from golf courses and hotels.
But he also managed to make $2.8-million from sales of Trump-branded watches (unsurprisingly packed with gold and diamonds), on top of $2.5-million from gaudy Trump sneakers and fragrances — after all, who wouldn’t want to smell like Donald Trump?
And what’s this — $1.3-million from a Trump-endorsed Bible? “We must make America pray again,” Trump said in the cable TV advert he used to hawk the word of the lord.
Trump claimed he has a lot of bibles, which raises the question of why he needed to lend his name to another one. Presumably he’s had time to read his “favourite book” including this quote which definitely doesn’t apply to him:
“My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers.”
