An unprecedented U.S. media campaign targeting President Trump’s finances has recently intensified. He faces explicit accusations of exploiting his presidential office to amass vast personal profits—estimated at around $2.2 billion in a single year—marking a first for a U.S. president.
This campaign is no coincidence; it relies on legal documents and carefully crafted media coverage designed to avoid litigation. Through this effort, Trump’s opponents aim to undermine his popularity ahead of the November midterm elections, seeking to dismantle his party's majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Rivals are leveraging the issue of his finances because it resonates most powerfully with American voters, who are grappling with economic pressures and crises they view as direct consequences of Trump’s policies. Yet, despite the potency of this political tactic and the ample time available to sway public opinion against him, the backing of wealthy supporters remains a wild card capable of delivering surprises that could shift the balance of the electoral battle.
