《福布斯》的一项分析揭示了特朗普私人企业的利润。这位第45任美国总统在2017年入主白宫时拒绝放弃经营自己的生意，这使得他在总统任期内的收入超过了美国历史上其他任何一位总统。
在唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）寻求重新入主白宫之际，有关他第一个任期的一些关键问题仍未得到解答，比如他在就任总统后从他继续经营的私人企业中获利了多少。
不过，一些细节已经浮出水面——比如他的企业创造了多少收入，他申报了多少应税收入，甚至是他的企业在某些年份的粗略利润估计。此前，没有人对他的企业在他担任总统的四年期间收获了多少营业利润进行过深入统计。但现在有了。
对一批纳税申报单、财务披露、债券申报、信用报告和内部记录等文件（其中许多是在这位前总统离开白宫后出现的）的分析显示，从2017年到2020年，特朗普的企业总共赚了了大约5.5亿美元。对于在成为总统之前收入更高的特朗普来说，这笔钱至关重要，因为它们让他能够在治理国家的同时偿还债务、改善房产、养活孩子，以及过上国王般的生活。
2017年：入主白宫后的首年收入
在赢得2016年大选后不久，特朗普即同意支付2500万美元和解金，以解决有关他的营利性教育企业特朗普大学存在欺诈行为的指控，这使他当年的估计营业利润减少了15%。那好消息是什么?他可以在报税时列出特朗普大学损失的2500万美元。
2018年：不冠名，就没问题
政治因素导致他的合作伙伴纷纷离特朗普品牌而去，但没有以特朗普名字命名的纽约市美洲大道1290号和旧金山加州街555号这两栋办公楼却几乎没有受到影响，即便特朗普拥有它们30%股份。2018年，他从这两栋楼中分得的利润达到5500万美元左右，占他估计营业利润的三分之一以上。
2019年：薄弱环节
特朗普的生意在他的总统任期中期趋于稳定，但仍存在薄弱环节，尤其是在具有自由派倾向的城市中心。在纽约市，特朗普大厦和华尔街40号的收入有所下降；而在特朗普位于芝加哥的酒店，原本微薄的利润变成了亏损。在华盛顿，特朗普国际酒店也损失惨重。
2020年：新冠危机
特朗普的六家酒店在2020年估计总共损失了2300万美元，几乎足以抹去它们从2017年到2019年的3000万美元盈利。与此同时，他的房地产许可和物业管理业务也萎缩了，营业利润从2017年估计的2900万美元缩减到2020年的450万美元。写字楼充当了短期救星的角色，因为签订了长期租约的大租户仍在支付租金。
