Claimant: Markwayne Mullin (R)
Claim: For President Donald Trump, “there’s no financial gain like the past presidents have had. It’s cost him to be in office.”
Rating: BLATANT LIE
Explanation: Trump’s financial disclosure showed at least $2.2 billion in revenue in 2025, up from $622 million in 2024, while Forbes estimated his net worth had increased by about $2.7 billion since the 2024 election. Experts told PolitiFact that plausible business or presidential-related expenses would not erase gains of that magnitude.
