Trump's financial disclosures reveal millions in income from guitars, bibles and watches with his name on them
President Donald Trump continues to enjoy income streams from scores of luxury properties and business ventures, many of which are worth tens of millions of dollars, according to a financial disclosure form filed late Friday.
Released by the Office of Government Ethics, Trump's 2025 financial disclosure spans 234 pages in all, including 145 pages of stock and bond investments, and is dated Friday with Trump's signature.
One of the largest sources of income on the form is the $57,355,532 he received from his ownership stake in World Liberty Financial, the cryptocurrency platform launched last year. The form shows that World Liberty's sales of digital tokens have been highly lucrative for Trump and his family. Trump's three sons, Donald Jr., Eric, and Barron, are listed on the company's website as co-founders of the firm.
Separately, Trump's meme coin, known on crypto markets simply as $TRUMP, was not released until January and is therefore not subject to the disclosure requirements for this form, which covered the calendar year 2024.
It was a lucrative year for Trump when it came to royalty payments for the various goods that are sold featuring his name and likeness.
Among the royalty payments:
Save America (coffee table book) — $3,000,000
Trump Sneakers and Fragrances — $2,500,000
Trump Watches — $2,800,000
The Greenwood Bible — $1,306,035
'45' Guitar — $1,055,100
NFT licensing and royalties — $1,157,490
The filing also includes a listing of liabilities, including at least $15,000 on an American Express credit card and payments due to E. Jean Carroll, the woman who successfully sued Trump over sexual abuse and defamation, though the president is still seeking to appeal the decision.
The rest of the document contains dozens of pages of lengthy footnotes about the president's various assets.
The form was filed to comply with federal requirements for Executive Branch office holders. By comparison, the form that former President Joe Biden filed in 2024 was 11 pages and consisted largely of conventional sources of income like bank and retirement accounts, while Kamala Harris's was 15 pages.
Many of Trump's key assets are held in a revocable trust overseen by Donald Trump Jr., his eldest son. This includes more than 100,000 shares of Trump Media and Technology Group, the social media company that went public in 2024. Trump is the largest shareholder, and his nearly 53% is worth billions of dollars. Those holdings were still disclosed in the form.

G7 has been Trump-proofed to avoid trouble – here's how
The Canadian organisers of the G7 summit are taking no chances with Donald Trump this week, ditching the usual joint communiqué, padding the event with extra guests and reducing the amount of time when the world leaders sit around the same table. It is the latest example of how global institutions are adapting to the return of an unpredictable and combative figure. A diplomat in Washington DC, who has seen the schedule, said it included fewer plenary sessions of the full group and more one-on-one meetings 'There's a lot more of that than at other summits,' he said, 'which would make sense if you are worried about one person causing trouble.' The last time Mr Trump attended a G7 summit in Canada he stormed off early, ripping up a joint communiqué and leaving a trail of withering tweets behind him. His blanket use of trade tariffs has already set nerves on edge, according to Matthew P Goodman, who was deputy to the US G7 Sherpa during the Obama administration, one of the figures doing the heavy lifting on negotiations. 'Those two issues hang over this upcoming summit, and are going to make it very challenging for the host, Mark Carney, to manage this,' he said. Canadian diplomats were buoyed by their new prime minister's performance at the White House recently, when he avoided the sort or tongue lashing delivered to some other world leaders. But organisers are leaving nothing to chance. World leaders are due to begin arriving on Sunday. They will fly into the international airport in Calgary from where they will helicopter to the picturesque setting of Kananaskis, deep in the Canadian Rockies. Organisers have padded the number of attendees by inviting leaders from India, Brazil, Ukraine, Australia and Saudi Arabia (although Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman reportedly will not be attending). Cyril Ramaphosa, the South African president, is coming. He knows better than most how Mr Trump can undo the best laid plans after being ambushed last month in the Oval Office and accused of allowing a 'white genocide' to unfold. Mark Rutte, Nato secretary general, and António Guterres, the UN secretary general, are expected to attend. There will also be a session on fentanyl smuggling, a cause particularly close to Mr Trump's heart. The result is more breakaway bilateral meetings and fewer chances for Mr Trump to clog up the agenda. Mr Goodman said: 'Any host of these forums, if they're smart, will minimise the time around the table. You need a certain amount of that, but you want to allow for a lot of time on the margins for bilateral conversations and meetings' In 2018, Justin Trudeau, Canada's prime minister at the time, presided over a G7 summit where Mr Trump abruptly pulled the US out of a previously agreed communiqué, before blasting his host as 'dishonest and weak'. He flew out of Canada early, apparently upset at the way Mr Trudeau had talked about Canadian tariffs on US exports. It meant weeks of careful negotiations on easing trade tensions between the US and the European Union went up in smoke. This time Mr Carney is preparing to issue a chairman's statement, according to The Toronto Star, avoiding the need for all the parties to agree on a joint position on awkward issues such as Ukraine or Israel's strikes on Iran. 'Our hope is that Mr Trump will join us in getting tougher on Russia and push through new sanctions,' said a senior diplomat from a G7 nation. 'But he could equally say, no, let's give them another two weeks and then there is no chance for agreement.' That makes it almost impossible to make progress on a joint text ahead of the summit, he added. 'The problem is that no one knows what's on Trump's mind,' he said. 'Negotiating in the absence of that is not easy.' The G7 summit is not the only high-stakes diplomacy this month. Nato leaders will assemble in The Hague next week, where defence spending will be top of the agenda. Summit organisers there are preparing a one-page communiqué, The Telegraph revealed on Friday, designed to suit Mr Trump's attention span. It will be almost entirely focused on one of the president's pet issues and the historic decision to more than double spending on defence by leaders to meet new capability targets for deterring a Russian invasion. Mr Trump stormed out of his last Nato summit in the UK in 2019, abandoning plans for a press conference, after Mr Trudeau was caught on video apparently mocking the American president. He was talking to Boris Johnson, the British prime minister, and Emmanuel Macron, the French president, discussing how Mr Trump liked to use photo opportunities to talk to the press.

Donald Trump hails US Army as historic parade takes over DC while violent clashes erupt at ‘No Kings' march in LA
DONALD Trump hailed the historic US military parade in Washington DC as elsewhere in the country there were violent clashes at protests. Trump posted "what a GREAT parade" on his Truth Social page after a day of stark contrasts across the US - as thousands also took part in "No Kings" marches against the president's adminstration. 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 21 Washington DC welcomed a full-throated celebration of the US Army & American history with fireworks and the incredible scenes of troops and tanks rumbling through the streets. Trump addressed the military and gathered crowds in DC - warning those who threaten the US amid the looming threat of new war in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. He said: "Time and again America's enemies have learned that if you threaten the American people, our soldiers are coming for you. "Your defeat will be certain. Your demise will be final, and your downfall will be total and complete. "Because our soldiers never give up. Never surrender and never, ever quit. They fight, fight, fight. And they win, win, win." While elsewhere large protests gathered in many cities - with organisers saying 60,000 turned out in LA and another 75,000 showed up in New York. Peaceful marches were marred once again by violent scenes. last weekend's of anti-ICE raid riots. LA police said they used batons to disperse the crowd after people began hurling "rocks, bricks, bottles and fireworks" at them. And meanwhile there was a shooting during a 10,000 strong protest in Salt Lake City, with police saying it was "possibly associated" with the march. 21 21 21 21 21 21 Northern Virginia also saw an SUV driven into a crowd of protesters hitting at least one person. And in Minnesota many rallies were cancelled after the fatal shooting of a state lawmaker and the wounding of another by an on-the-run gunman who had "No Kings" fliers in his car. Meanwhile, patriotic tunes filled the air in Washington DC as Trump turned 79, with his grand military spectacle commemorating the US Army's 250th anniversary. The grandiose military parade showcased soldiers, sailors, airmen and US Marines with them all marching in their uniforms in front of thousands of excited spectators. As many as 7,000 troops and seven band contingents participated in the show. They were accompanied by at least 150 military vehicles and some 50 aircraft. 21 21 21 21 21 21 Some 2,000 civilians also marched alongside the US military. The Army said as many as 200,000 people were in attendance at the festival and parade. For years, the president is said to have had his eyes on a full-blown military show, but has failed to put up a working plan - until now. Plans were to roll out battle tanks, massive military equipment, and aircraft and missiles, just as Trump first envisioned the parade during his first term. Among the military equipment flaunted was M1A1 Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, World War II Sherman tanks and four WWII-era P-51 aircraft. The whole celebration was enclosed with an 18-mile ring of steel to protect the parade. Trump said: "Thanks to their extraordinary service and devotion, 250 years later, America stands tall." "America stands proud, and America stands free. We're the hottest country in the world right now. "And our country will soon be greater and stronger than ever before." Scroll down to read through our day's coverage on the parade with The Sun's live blog below... 14th Jun 2025, 14:43 By Sayan Bose Crowds begin to come in for the parade

Israel and Iran trade strikes for third day as nuclear talks called off
Planned talks on Iran's nuclear programme, which could provide an off-ramp, were called off. The region braced for a protracted conflict after Israel's surprise bombardment of Iran's nuclear and military sites on Friday killed several top generals and nuclear scientists, and neither side showed any sign of backing down. Iran said Israel struck two oil refineries, raising the prospect of a broader assault on Iran's heavily sanctioned energy industry that could affect global markets. The Israeli military, in a social media post, warned Iranians to evacuate arms factories, signalling what could be a further widening of the campaign. At around noon local time, explosions were heard again in the Iranian capital Tehran. US President Donald Trump has expressed full support for Israel's actions while warning Iran that it can only avoid further destruction by agreeing to a new nuclear deal. Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that if the Israeli strikes on Iran stop, then 'our responses will also stop'. He said the United States 'is a partner in these attacks and must take responsibility'. New explosions echoed across Tehran and were reported elsewhere in the country early on Sunday, but there was no update to a death toll put out the day before by Iran's UN ambassador, who said 78 people had been killed and more than 320 wounded. In Israel, at least 10 people were killed in Iranian strikes overnight and into Sunday, according to Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service, bringing the country's total death toll to 13. The country's main international airport and airspace remained closed for a third day. Israeli strikes targeted Iran's Defence Ministry early on Sunday after hitting air defences, military bases and sites associated with its nuclear programme. The killing of several top generals and nuclear scientists in targeted strikes indicated that Israeli intelligence has penetrated Iran at the highest levels. In Israel, at least six people, including a 10-year-old and a nine-year-old, were killed when a missile hit an apartment building in Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv. Daniel Hadad, a local police commander, said 180 people were wounded and seven are still missing. An Associated Press (AP) reporter saw streets lined with damaged and destroyed buildings, bombed out cars and shards of glass. Responders used a drone at points to look for survivors. Some people could be seen leaving the area with suitcases. Another four people, including a 13-year-old, were killed and 24 wounded when a missile struck a building in the Arab town of Tamra in northern Israel. A strike on the central city of Rehovot wounded 42. The Weizmann Institute of Science, an important centre for research in Rehovot, said 'there were a number of hits to buildings on the campus'. It said no-one was harmed. Israel has sophisticated multi-tiered air defences that are able to detect and intercept missiles fired at populated areas or key infrastructure, but officials acknowledge it is imperfect. World leaders made urgent calls to de-escalate. The attack on nuclear sites sets a 'dangerous precedent', China's foreign minister said. The region is already on edge as Israel seeks to annihilate Hamas, an Iranian ally, in the Gaza Strip, where the war is still raging after Hamas's October 7 2023 attack. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu brushed off such calls, saying Israel's strikes so far are 'nothing compared to what they will feel under the sway of our forces in the coming days'. Israel, the sole though undeclared nuclear-armed state in the Middle East – said it launched the attack to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. The two countries have been regional adversaries for decades. Iran has always said its nuclear programme was peaceful, and the US and others have assessed it has not pursued a weapon since 2003. But it has enriched ever larger stockpiles of uranium to near weapons-grade levels in recent years and was believed to have been able to develop multiple weapons within months if it chose to do so. The UN's atomic watchdog censured Iran last week for not complying with its obligations. Mr Araghchi said Israel had targeted an oil refinery near Tehran and another in the country's Bushehr province on the Persian Gulf. He said Iran had also targeted 'economic' sites in Israel, without elaborating. Mr Araghchi was speaking to diplomats in his first public appearance since the initial Israeli strikes. Semi-official Iranian news agencies reported that an Israeli drone strike had caused a 'strong explosion' at an Iranian natural-gas processing plant. Israel's military did not immediately comment. The extent of damage at the South Pars natural gas field was not immediately clear. Such sites have air defence systems around them, which Israel has been targeting. An oil refinery was also damaged in the northern Israeli city of Haifa, according to the firm operating it. Bazan Group said pipelines and transmission lines between facilities were damaged, forcing some downstream facilities to be shut down. It said no-one was wounded. The Arab Gulf country of Oman, which has been mediating indirect talks between the US and Iran over Tehran's nuclear programme, said a sixth round planned for Sunday would not take place. 'We remain committed to talks and hope the Iranians will come to the table soon,' a senior US official said. Mr Araghchi said on Saturday that the nuclear talks were 'unjustifiable' after Israel's strikes, which he said were the 'result of the direct support by Washington'. In a post on his Truth Social account early on Sunday, Mr Trump reiterated that the US was not involved in the attacks on Iran and warned that any retaliation directed against it would bring an American response 'at levels never seen before'. 'However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!' he wrote.
