Trump cited his loss of wealth during an interview with Mike Lindell after the MyPillow CEO told Trump that he was one of the few politicians who "have the people's back."
Trump responded by saying that he expected to suffer a tremendous financial loss while some high-profile Democrats decided to gain money.
"Look at the money they make, they're full-time politicians, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and all these people — [Rep. Maxine] Waters, [Former President Barack] Obama," Trump said in an interview aired by the Right Side Broadcasting Network on Tuesday night. "I expected to lose a lot of money, and I lost billions. I expected that it would be OK. These people made money being president.

While Trump and Lindell talked about the 2020 election outcome and alleged voter fraud in several battleground states, Trump advised the Democrats' policies were proof they "cheat on elections."
"When you have things like no voter ID, defund the police, open borders, sanctuary cities, all of the stuff they have, I don't believe 50% of the people vote for them," Trump said.

"I think they cheat on elections. And they do other things and that gets him up to that 50%. But they can't have 50% with those policies."
Trump also told Lindell that former Vice President Mike Pence was wrong for not halting the Electoral College voting results certification.

"It was very sad when Mike Pence gave those votes over," Trump said. "When you have more votes than there are voters, when you have other things that are so wrong, and that was then. Since then many other things have happened."
