He said this during a speech to employees of Shell's petrochemical company in Pennsylvania, writes RBC.

“It probably costs me $ 3 billion to $ 5 billion to be president of the United States — and I don't give a damn, I don't care. You know, if you are rich, it doesn't matter. I just want to do a great job, ”Trump said.

According to the head of state, such losses are due to the fact that he refused to pursue the career of an entrepreneur, as well as “daily” lawsuits, because of which he regularly has to spend money on lawyers representing his interests when considering claims filed against him.

"The presidency is costing me a fortune," Trump said.

At the same time, the head of the White House said that, despite this, he intends to be re-elected for a second term.

The figures that Trump named are almost impossible to verify, since the president did not publish his tax returns, promising to do so after leaving the presidency.

According to the Forbes magazine rating published in March, the total value of Trump's assets was about $ 3,1 billion.At the same time, in June 2017, Bloomberg estimated the state of the head of the United States at $ 2,9 billion, and a year later recorded its decline by $ 100 million - to $ 2,8 billion
