MAGA world shrugs as Trump reports $2.2 billion in personal gains

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) torched what was left of her relationship with President Donald Trump on Thursday after new financial disclosures showed he personally pocketed $2.2 billion during his first year back in office, The New York Times reported Friday.

"The Republican Party hijacked MAGA," Greene wrote on X, the Times reported.

Some MAGA voices went further, framing the windfall as proof of Trump's business savvy rather than a conflict of interest. Iowa activist Kelley Koch, who chairs a group called MAGA Nation, brushed off outrage entirely: "Let's just be honest, people are checked out right now," she said, speaking with the Times.

Democrats weren't nearly as forgiving. California Gov. Gavin Newsom called Trump "the most corrupt president in American history," while Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) accused him of standing "with the billionaire class" while ordinary Americans struggle, the Times reported.
