They don't, it's largely impossible for people to visualize the difference between a million and a billion especially since "billion" gets thrown around so loosely these days, and since most people will never deal with those kinds of numbers we just don't see it.
It's easier to explain to someone that giving away a million dollars when you have a billion dollars is the same as giving away $1 when you have $1,000. Or 10 cents when you have $100. When you think about it that way, a million does not even constitute a rounding error to a billionaire, it's that insignificant.

There's nothing to feel bad for, as far as I can tell. They voted for it, multiple times, despite feeling the consequences every time.

As an American citizen, I understand your perspective. It's very reasonable. But there is hope. Maybe Dems take the house and senate both. Then Trump's insanity can be reigned in for the next two years. Investigations. After he leaves office, lots of trials, prosecution. The blue wave carries a lot of progressives into office with it that would have been too left of center without. Then we pass new laws to prevent it from being possible and ride a nice little wave of progressivism before cycles turn again.
It's plausible that things turn out ok from here just from the right result at midterms. Far from guaranteed, but plausible.
So maybe hold off on total judgment until at least the slow wheels of the system get a full turn. It's maybe not and you're totally right anyway

Ok, let's take an example. Let's look at Albania: 130 + days of consistent protesting, and it has gotten them absolutely nowhere. Kushner's family is GOING to get that land, though I do absolutely admire the fortitude of the Albanians.
Other countries love to tell Americans that this is their fault for not staging some huge uprising, and it bears reminding that, 1. In a lot of cities, even the local police have military-grade weapons, like literal tanks. 2. This is the era of the drone. No more needs to be elaborated on there. 3. My home state, Minnesota, fought ICE tooth and nail. It got them nowhere (32,000 people lost their jobs, though). Speaking of jobs, our health care is directly tied to them. With flock cameras and our currently inescapable surveillance situation, there is almost a guarantee that participation in a large-scale protest means possible termination of employment AND medical care.
Our government does not fear its people. In fact, I'd venture to guess that's the case in most countries now. One third of us voted against this. One third voted for it, and the other third couldn't even be bothered to vote at all. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying I don't think protests carry the same weight they did before this country descended into a corporate Dystopian shit hole.

Is there any way that this money can somehow be returned to the people if he is removed from office and tried for the criminal he is?

That doesn’t even include all of the insider trading he’s done this year. He made $3 billion in like 14 months from Nov 2024 to Dec 2025… totally normal… nothing to see here.

Ya see his recent rallies on TV? The crowds still gleefully cheer at every sound that drools out of his mouth.
They publicly don’t mind the expensive life he caused. Privately, who knows. We are all tired of his crap and the people who made it happen who are still doing do.

Poor people voting for Trump have to be some of the biggest chumps in American history. The level of stupidity is mind-boggling.

"I'm just saying they don't need to have 30 dolls. They can have three. They don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."
How many pencils does the orange one need ? How many can he use?

There’s only two kinds of people in this world, according to Republicans: Makers and takers.

This is the Trump-Vance ethos in a nutshell: maximum pressure and punishment for political opponents spuriously accused of crimes and maximum leniency for actual criminals who happen to be the duo’s political allies.

They took in waaaay more than 3 billion. They forgot to count all the untrackable bribes they took through crypto.

Lost food aid and celebrated Trump winning so hard. And will vote for him and his party to continue winning. They might as well just have their pay sent directly to him at this point.

All the top level elected officials & their immediate families should be forced to use blind trusts as long as they're in office. Reasonable wages+benefits as wards of the State for their living expenses & whatever extra they need for their official duties. If they want access to their full assets back, then they have to resign.
