Trump Reports MILLIONS In Profits So Far As President

Most notably, the disclosure shows the profits Trump has made from his many properties both in the U.S. and worldwide. Those profits are way up over previous years, before he was elected. What's the difference now? All of the locations reporting increased profits are those he has visited since his election. And boy, has he visited some places.

His favorite place to visit - his "Winter White House," Mar-a-Lago - has seen possibly the largest increase in its profits since he began visiting as president. In order to even run for office, Trump had to file financials with the FEC; his 2015 income from Mar-a-Lago was (a mere) $15 million. The 2016 FEC filing shows a profit of $29 million. Since then? $37 million. You read that right: Back when Donald was a schmuck with a golf course and a bad hairdo, his luxe manor in Florida was worth but a pittance in the cosmic sense. It's more than doubled since then. He is at a Trump-branded property, it seems, almost every week. Did I mention he's doubled his membership fee since he became president?

Using taxpayer monies to shamelessly promote and enrich his own personal interests.
