US President Trump may push “America First” through tariffs; They may be giving slogans, but ground reality shows a different story. Tariff war has affected common people all over the world including America— inflation increased, supply chains were disrupted and everyday things became expensive. Meanwhile, there has been a record increase in Trump’s personal wealth. According to the New York Times, after returning to the White House in January 2025, his wealth increased by at least ₹ 12,810 crore in just one year, which is also considered under-estimated. Trump Organization is currently running 20+ foreign real estate projects—in countries like Oman, Saudi Arabia and India. Trump-branded projects in India, including Pune’s Trump World Center, are earning millions of dollars. Apart from real estate, crypto ventures, meme coins, media, tech and documentary deals have also emerged as big earners. At a time when the common American is struggling with inflation and job crisis, the increasing wealth of the person in power raises serious questions on democracy.
