Discussion on Financial Disclosure and Profits

Your financial disclosure shows you had a very lucrative year last year.

What message would you send to average Americans, especially those of you who are right now financially?

I don't get involved in my personal — we have funds that run my money.

But you are benefiting.

Well, I've made a lot of money before I became President, and they invest my money.

And I don't talk to them. I never — I don't even speak to them.

So I have many people — I don't know what they call it — closed accounts or something.

You put your money in, and that's it.

I don't talk to them. They're big institutions.

And they run it.

But, yeah, I've had a great career.

In business, I've had a great career.

I don't know if I've had a better career in politics or business,

but I had a great career in business.

And, you know, you saw the cash.

And you report the different things.

And what they do is — we gave it — I think it's called a blind account.

But they — basically, they take it.

And I purposely — I never speak to any of the people that run the money.

But they're at big institutions.

And they invest in whatever they invest in.

Q But you're critical — you're critical to say you're profiting off of President Trump.

Well, you know why I'm profiting?

Because the stock market is going up. Everybody is profiting.

If you have a — you have a 401K?

How has your 401K done?

It's about up 85 percent.

Thank you, President Trump.

So we're all profiting.

I'm profiting because I have a lot of money and a lot of cash.

And we — I give it to institutions.

I don't know if they know what they're doing or not.

But they buy a vast array of things.
