But let’s not discount Bush and cheney during that presidency…
Of course not. They were corrupt af.
I would say the big difference between Bush/Cheney and Obama/Biden is that the Bush family was already in the high eight-figures when he ran for Texas Governor. Cheney was already a CEO and married into the Coors dynasty. Meanwhile, the Obamas had a million-and-change in retirement savings when he took office, only to balloon it 70x.
Obama was promoted to the aristocracy. Cheney clawed his way up through Wyoming state politics. Bush was born there.
Trump’s still got a ways to go. Meanwhile, all of these Presidents got a glow-up following their departure. Modern day elected Democrats will periodically issues hagiographies for Bush Jr and Truman.

Being one of the most popular public figures in North America will do that to you
It’s funny, because Trump could easily make the same claim.

The lowest guy? Can make the same claim?
George W. Bush January 2005-January 2009 36.5
Richard Nixon January 1973-August 1974 34.4
Harry Truman January 1949-January 1953 36.5

Oh sorry
One of the lowest makes astronomically more money than one of the highest. But sure same same.
The highest was Kennedy, who made out fanatically in his first term, adjusted for inflation
And?
