Trump Reports Hundreds of Millions in Financial Liabilities - NBC News

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics released President Donald Trump's most recent financial disclosure, and it shows that the former real estate mogul carries at least $315 million in liabilities — $130 million to Deutsche Bank alone.

The financial disclosure, a 98-page document, details how much money Trump has made, as well as what he's liable for, through April 15.

The disclosure also shows that Trump earned nearly $20 million from his Washington, D.C. luxury hotel, the Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C., which only opened in Sept. 2016.

Since Trump won the election, the hotel has become a central symbol of the president's potential conflicts of interest, as some worry it is a route through which the Trump family could receive payments from foreign governments.

The man is a successful business man, and that's why he got elected

We really don't know exactly how successful he really is. We do know that he has filed bankruptcy several times (not a positive for a successful business man) and that he has relied on "questionable "FOREIGN loans to help him out.

Now, if we find out that he isn't a BILLIONAIRE at all, would you re-evaluate your opinion that he is successful?

Sometimes things don't always work out for his businesses, but it does come off that he makes more successes than he loses. If trump turns out not to be a billionaire; then he successfully conned us all. Even with his disclosure documents citing hundreds of millions in earnings this past year do lend some validity to him being quite wealthy.

That's not true in the least reason he got elected he's because of a bunch of ignorant people didn't think any better
