[Rhiannon12866]

Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosures reveal a staggering $2.22 billion in gains during his first year back in office—averaging roughly $6 million every single day.

In this report, Thom Hartmann breaks down the rot at the center of Trump's "cash register" presidency, along with five other critical stories: a federal judge torching a $1.7 billion IRS "slush fund," DOJ intimidation of New York Times journalists, a rise in fatal ICE shootings, a massive 11-state lawsuit to block the Paramount-Warner Brothers merger, and a surprising scientific link between spicy chili peppers and a longer life. - Aired on 07/13/2026.
