People think Trump accidentally said too much as he discusses how much money he made in interview
During a Fox News interview in Abu Dhabi, Donald Trump claimed he earned 12 times more money in four days than the U.S. has spent supporting Ukraine. While discussing Russia’s refusal to heed his ceasefire calls, Trump boasted about his financial success, saying, “I can make up the money on one trip like this.” Estimates suggest U.S. aid to Ukraine ranges from $119 billion to $183 billion, meaning Trump’s alleged earnings could total up to $4.2 trillion—an implausible figure.
Critics quickly mocked Trump’s remarks, accusing him of deflecting from his ineffective Ukraine policy. Social media users speculated he was either exaggerating or confusing government spending with potential foreign investments. Many pointed out that his focus on personal wealth ignored the real issue—Russia’s continued aggression. Trump’s comments further fueled skepticism about his financial claims and diplomatic strategy.
