On Wednesday, an anchor at what the Daily Beast calls President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cmost hated network<\/u>\u201d exposed the hypocrisy of his second-term grift by showing a montage of the many times he\u2019s attacked his rivals for profiting off their positions<\/u>. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe insiders wrote the rules of the game to keep themselves in power, and in the money,\u201d declared then-candidate Trump at a New York event in July 2016. \u201cHillary Clinton has perfected the politics of personal profit, and even theft,\u201d he said, attacking his main Democratic opponent at the time. <\/p>\n

The montage showed many other wide-ranging instances of Trump accusing \u201ccorrupt politicians\u201d of enriching themselves by \u201cbleeding America dry,\u201d suggesting they \u201cran for office promising to protect American workers\u201d only to \u201cline their pockets with special-interest cash.\u201d According to Trump, only he could \u201cdethrone the failed political class\u201d and \u201cdrain the Washington swamp,\u201d once asserting, \u201cFor too long, a small group in our nation\u2019s capital has reaped the rewards of government, while the people have borne the cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

After playing the montage, CNN anchor Laura Coates noted the hypocrisy, saying, \u201cFor nearly a decade, that has been his case against Washington. Now, his own financial disclosure \u2014 is it Exhibit A against him?\u201d Disclosures of Trump\u2019s finances filed earlier in the week highlighted the parallels between the president\u2019s policy decisions and his investments. <\/p>\n

As the Daily Beast explains, \u201cHis accounts snapped up 327 stocks valued at up to $12.8 million last April, just one day before he hit pause on his global tariffs, sending the S&P 500 stock market index up almost 10 percent, according to an analysis of the 927-page document<\/u> by Sludge. The April haul was not the only buy with lucky timing. One of his accounts picked up Intel stock worth between $250,000 and $500,000 on Aug. 18. Four days later, he revealed that Washington would take a nearly 10 percent stake in the chipmaker, worth roughly $8.9 billion, prompting its shares to climb 6 percent. Intel chief executive Lip-Bu Tan had sat down with Trump at the White House only a week ahead of the purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n

He bought up large quantities of Palantir stock as his administration expanded the data company\u2019s government contracts, including controversial contracts with ICE. Trump also bought shares of the private prison company GEO Group as it ramped up its detention capacity to accommodate deportation arrests. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, according to the Daily Beast, \u201cThe disclosure clocks more than $1.4 billion flowing to Trump from crypto holdings in 2025. His $TRUMP memecoin, widely derided as a scam, raised $635 million, while World Liberty Financial, the digital asset venture founded by his sons, brought in north of $500 million. The president has spent the same period rolling back regulations across the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

All of this comes amid revelations<\/u> that Trump\u2019s sons are poised to profit off a billion-dollar mining deal struck by their father. This has prompted even ostensible Trump allies to criticize the president\u2019s corruption. For example, conservative commentator Megyn Kelly<\/u> admitted earlier this week that \u201cthe Trump family is grifty.\u201d <\/p>\n
