Former President Joe Biden sent BS-meters across the country spinning out of control when he complained during a recent appearance that President Donald Trump and his family were making unprecedented profits off his time in the Oval Office.
Biden, speaking to Democrats at a gala in Omaha, Nebraska, reflected on Tuesday’s wins for the party and jabbed at Trump at every opportunity. In typical Biden fashion, he rambled from topic to topic with his tone shifting often enough — from barely above a whisper to a shout — that even The New York Times commented on it. “I just want you to know, you work for us, Mr. President. We don’t work for you,” he scolded at one point.
But at another point during the event, Biden questioned the audience directly, asking whether they had ever seen another president profit so much from the office he held.

You can’t make this up. Joe “10% for the Big Guy” Biden is accusing the Trump family of profiting off of the White House:

“Has anyone noticed how much the Trump family has made while he’s been president? A reported $1.8 billion,” Biden began, his tone soft. He abruptly began shouting as he added, “Can you imagine if any other president in American history did that? Can you imagine what would happen?”
Critics were quick to point out just how ridiculous Biden’s accusation was, given the information that has come out over the years about his family and how they profited while he rose from the Senate to the vice presidency and then to the White House.
One solicited an explanation from Grok, which read, “Biden’s claim overlooks his family’s multimillion-dollar deals with foreign entities during and after his VP tenure, per House investigations and bank records. Trump’s family businesses operated separately, with him donating his full presidential salary to charity—hardly equivalent profiteering.”
And in addition to the fact that President Trump has donated his salary the entire time that he has been president, reports indicate that Trump is the only president in recent history to see his net worth drop after a term or two in the Oval Office. When Trump first took office in 2017, he had an estimated net worth of $3 billion — and when he left office in early 2021, his net worth had fallen to $2.3 billion.
In contrast, President Joe Biden had a net worth of about $8 million when he took office, and $10 million when he left the White House in 2025. Former President Barack Obama saw much larger gains, going from $1.3 million to $70 million — and former President Bill Clinton’s wealth skyrocketed from $1.3 million to $120 million while he held the office of the presidency.
