Donald Trump: Pledged before his first inauguration to give the United States Treasury all profits his hotels earned from foreign-government patrons instead of divesting. The Trump Organization reported donating $151,470 for 2017 and $191,000 for 2018, both figures self-calculated and not audited. The company declined to publish its method, and government-ethics groups including Public Citizen said the accounting standard it cited does not define profit.
