Claim
In the one year since becoming president for the second time, Donald Trump has earned at least $2 billion (roughly Rs 2000 crore).
“डॉन्ड ट्रंप ने दूसरी बार राष्ट्रपति बनने के एक साल में कम से कम $ बिलियन डॉलर यानी लगभग 2000 करोड़ रुपए की कमाई की है”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Trump's 2025 financial disclosure, released just before the broadcast, showed his businesses earned more than $2 billion (widely reported as ~$2.2 billion) in the first year of his second term, largely from crypto ventures. The core claim of 'at least $2 billion' is well-supported by primary disclosures and multiple wire/press reports. The only imprecision is the parenthetical rupee figure: $2 billion is roughly Rs 16,000-17,000 crore, not Rs 2000 crore, but the central dollar claim the anchor made is accurate.
