Trump beat all of Congress by 3X. His folks must be so proud.

3x more than 535 members of congress sounds a little low. You also need to add in all the family deals around the world and the crypto scams and the pay for pardon deals etc. Probably multiple times more than all of the congress corruption over the last couple of decades.

I think you’re comparing Trump’s $2.2 billion of income in 2025 to the volume of trades made by all the traders in Congress, totalling $665 million?

Probably not apples to apples.  Highly unlikely that the congressional trades resulted in the same volume of profit on those trades.  If they made 20% profit on their trades, that would be $130 million.  Trump’s grift alone is more than 15 times that.
