Depends on your definition of moneychanger. Did Trump make his money solely by trading stocks? Or banking and financial instruments? Did he pull money out of thin air through fed loans at 0% interest like the banks did?
Or did he make his money by building, selling, and marketing products and services?
A broker, funds manager, and banker all have digital accounts that say they have X amount of wealth.
Trump has REAL estate with his name on it, and hard assets to back it up. That he built, from scratch, with real labor and effort.
He uses other peoples money, as well as takes money away from other people. He has a less than stellar nor honorable business history. He is the epitome of “The Rainmaker”.
