PolitiFact debunks claim that Trump lost money in office, revealing his net worth doubled to $7 billion

PolitiFact fact-checked Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin's claim that Trump lost money in office, finding it 'Pants on Fire' false. Trump's 2025 financial disclosure showed at least $2.2 billion in revenue, up from $622 million in 2024, and Forbes estimated his net worth at $7 billion—nearly double his pre-presidency wealth. Experts said overhead could not have consumed the gains, and Trump's wealth increase dwarfs that of recent presidents, raising serious conflict-of-interest and corruption concerns.
