Michael Cohen says Trump ran for president as a 'marketing opportunity.' Yet Trump’s move into politics has actually cost him business by ChaseWithorn
—despite the stream of foreign dignitaries and Fox News stars streaming into the Trump International Hotel Washington, D.C.—politics has actually been a net loser for Trump’s net worth. By our count, his fortune dropped from $4.5 billion in 2015, the year he announced his campaign, to. While a major cooldown in Manhattan retail real estate and deeper reporting have led to much of that decline, roughly $200 million of the drop can be attributed solely to Trump’s polarizing foray into politics.
The president, who has always insisted that he ran for office to help the American people and not to boost his bottom line, acknowledged the slump last year. “Being president has cost me a fortune, and that’s okay with me,” he told reporters before heading to Mar-a-Lago in November. “All I do is focus on this country and making great deals for this country—I don’t focus on making on great deals for myself because I don’t care anymore.
His former lawyer sees it differently. “Donald Trump is a man who ran for office to make his brand great,” Cohen testified on Wednesday, “not to make our country great.” Representatives for the Trump Organization did not respond to a request for comment. “Disgraced felon Michael Cohen is going to prison for lying to Congress and making other false statements," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement prior to Cohen's testimony."It’s laughable that anyone would take a convicted liar like Cohen at his word, and pathetic to see him given yet another opportunity to spread his lies.
