'They all came to get rich except him': Donald Trump wins hearts as Benny Johnson highlights net worth of all former POTUS
TAMPA, FLORIDA: Conservative political host Benny Johnson took to X, formerly known as Twitter to discuss the trend of every modern president experiencing an increase in their net worth.
However, the one president who did not make that list of increased net worth was Donald Trump, whose assets went from $3 billion to $2.3 billion, as per Johnson.
Johnson clarified that Trump is also the only one being "criminally charged for supposedly overstating his net worth," and posed the question of whether the Department of Justice will "investigate" others.
In response to Johnson's statistics, the internet rushed to support former POTUS Trump.
