After he reported billions gained since he got in office, he highlighted that’s because the stock market is up, though I believe most of the headwind was from the crypto ventures which are down, but he makes money on transaction fees.
It’s just odd to see a movement who used to be so against pay for play, family corruption in politics and a strong focus on draining the swamp so silent on this.
And of course, if you simply recognize this it’s just considered TDS.
He’s not the first to profit off the office, though I’d say he is winning at doing it the most.
The movement is still there, but maybe they need to start paying TikTokkers to get ahead of the social media news curve. It seems to me that Trump, his Zionist donors, and his billionaire buddies have cornered the now 'state' media. Yet, Trump thinks it is not enough (?)

"The
Never Trump movement (also known as
#nevertrump,
Stop Trump,
anti-Trump, or
Dump Trump movement)[sup]
[1][/sup] is a
conservative political movement that opposes
Trumpism and
Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th
president of the United States, and supports a putative return to a more rules-based internationalist,
traditionally conservative Republican Party.[sup]
[2][/sup] The name originates from Republicans who would never be "persuaded to vote for Trump in the
2016 general election."[sup]

It is generally made up of "long-standing, professional Republicans or conservatives",[sup]
[3][/sup] donors, consultants, operatives, writers and commentators, as well as Republican officeholders.[sup]

Mar-a-Lago to "kiss the ring"[sup]

Republican Party has been consolidated.[sup]

The movement began as an effort on the part of a group of Republicans (known as
Never Trump Republicans) and other prominent
conservatives to prevent Republican front-runner Trump from obtaining the
2016 Republican Party presidential nomination, and after he was nominated, from winning the
2016 United States presidential election.[sup]

Following his victory, remaining adherents worked to foil his re-election in 2020,[sup]
[8][/sup] and then his return in 2024. With his second presidential election victory in 2024, the
New York Times described Republican dissenters as having "been driven into retirement, defeated in primaries or cowed into silence".[sup]
