Do only those on the left care that Trump got richer in office? Michael explores new financial disclosures showing President Trump's extraordinary gains from crypto ventures and other business interests while serving in office, prompting a broader debate about presidential ethics, public accountability, and partisan perception. Drawing on reporting from The Washington Post, a Wall Street Journal editorial, and commentary from Mark Halperin, Smerconish asks whether concerns about a president profiting while in office have become a purely partisan issue—or whether Americans have simply grown numb to political self-enrichment.
