CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 6, 2026
CONSERVATIVES AND SOME REPUBLICANS BELIEVE THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WAS CORRUPT, AS WAS HUNTER BIDEN. THEY CRITICIZED POLITICAL DEALS – INCLUDING HUNTER’S PARDON BY HIS FATHER – AND MONETARY DEALS THAT BENEFITTED BIDEN WHILE HE WAS PRESIDENT.
BUT SOME OF THOSE SAME PEOPLE ARE SILENT WHEN IT COMES TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LATEST FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE FORM, SHOWING HE AND HIS FAMILY HAVE AMASSED A FORTUNE OF $2.2 BILLION IN JUST HIS FIRST YEAR BACK IN OFFICE. NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS DONE THIS AT SUCH A LEVEL.
THE PRESIDENT CLAIMS HIS SONS RUN HIS BUSINESSES, NOT HIM. IT’S STILL “ALL IN THE FAMILY.”
WHEN HARRY TRUMAN LEFT OFFICE, HE TOOK A TRAIN HOME TO INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI WHERE HE CONTINUED TO RECEIVED HIS ARMY PENSION OF $113 A MONTH.
MUCH OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S WEALTH EXPANSION CAME FROM HIS AND HIS FAMILY’S INVESTMENTS IN SPECULATIVE CRYPTO CURRENCY. MANY AVERAGE AMERICANS LOST MONEY ON CRYPTO. THE PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY MADE HUGE PROFITS.
ALL OF THIS MAY HAVE BEEN LEGAL, BUT IS IT RIGHT? THE PRESIDENCY IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT SERVING THE COUNTRY. SELF-SERVE IS FOR GAS STATIONS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
