The argument is invalid because it commits a logical fallacy. It assumes that because all U.S. presidents have been wealthy and Trump is a man (not specifically stating he's a president), he must be wealthy. The conclusion does not logically follow from the premises, as being a man does not inherently mean one is wealthy or a U.S. president.
