We are all sleeping through Trump’s monetization of the White House
TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Democrats, Republicans, lobbyists, and congressional spouses with supernatural stock-picking abilities — I did my best to roast them all. But I have to confess that the book now feels quaint.

Opinion>Opinions - White House The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill We are all sleeping through Trump’s monetization of the White House Comments: by Matt Lewis, opinion contributor - 05/22/26 9:30 AM ET Comments: Link copied by Matt Lewis, opinion contributor - 05/22/26 9:30 AM ET Comments: Link copied AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta Back in 2023, I wrote the wildly underrated (or so I believe) book “Filthy Rich Politicians.” It was a field guide detailing how the rich get elected and how the elected get rich. It was a bipartisan hit job. Democrats, Republicans, lobbyists, and congressional spouses with supernatural stock-picking abilities — I did my best to roast them all.
