George Stephanopoulos, on Sunday, ripped President Donald Trump — highlighting the “unprecedented money-making by a sitting president and his family.”
In a scorching show open on ABC’s This Week, Stephanopoulos called out the Trumps for cashing in on the office — while noting that those who are filling the Trump family coffers are benefitting from “official actions” taken by the White House.
“The scale is staggering,” Stephanopoulos said. “President Trump and his family are making hundreds of millions, potentially billions of dollars — as Trump and his administration take official actions that benefit contributors and investors.”
The ABC News anchor called out Trump’s “pardons to tax cheats,” and various windfalls originating from the Trump family’s foray into cryptocurrency.

“Official Actions”. Two very important words, because thanks to the Supreme Court even a future Congress can’t even investigate this, much less do anything about it. And forget about this congress lifting a god damned finger, outside of the middle one they keep giving to the people who voted for them.
I don’t think that scotus ruling does bar congress from investigating stuff actually, the supreme court doesn’t have jurisdiction over impeachments. That’s not to say they will, just that I’m pretty sure they can.
But who could’ve guessed that a known conman would continue to be a conman? /s
“unprecedented money-making by a sitting president and his family.”
Yeah, just call it what it is…corruption.
Congress either cowed, or complicit, depending on where you sit.
Complicity cowed.
I’m sitting in the place where their continued inaction makes them complicit.
Spoiler alert… he did that 5 years ago, too.
The grift was peanuts compared to now, though, because Trump hadn’t found religion in crypto yet. He didn’t release his shitty NFTs until 2022. That’s when he found out how much money there is to be “made” by attaching his brand to digital tokens.
My pearls?! What will happen now that the man has been ripped??
Umph yes! RIP’EM STEPHANOPOULOS!
Like ripped apart?
R I P S
A man who played no small part in creating the era of journalism and media that brought us Trump in the first place. Go away George.
