All the President's Profits
About this episode
The episode discusses President Trump's unprecedented financial disclosure and the ethical implications it raises.
President Donald Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure showed earnings unlike anything Americans have seen from a sitting US president: $1.4 billion in cryptocurrency, 21,000 securities trades and millions from his resorts and golf clubs. On today’s Big Take podcast, Bloomberg campaign finance reporter Bill Allison joins host Sarah Holder to look at the ethical concerns the disclosure raises and what — if any — political fallout could follow.
