Decades of tax information that President Trump has tried to hide from the public provides a detailed view of his business career, revealing huge losses, looming financial threats and a large, contested refund from the IRS. https://nyti.ms/30hQAWN 
Playing a business tycoon on “The Apprentice” earned Donald Trump nearly $200 million from 2000 to 2018 and led to lucrative endorsement and licensing deals worth more than $230 million more, his tax information shows. http://nyti.ms/30hQAWN 
Trump rented out his name to everything from Oreo cookies and Domino’s Pizza to mattresses and neckties. And licensing deals for hotels and towers in foreign countries were more lucrative than previously known. http://nyti.ms/30hQAWN 
Real estate remained essential to Trump’s bottom line: Two towers in Manhattan and investments in two other office buildings earned him hundreds of millions of dollars in profit from 2000 to 2018. But his golf courses lost $315.6 million during the same period.
Trump’s money-losing golf resorts, and a hotel in Washington, enabled him to claim annual losses that wash away much of his taxable income. The losses are very real — and some are very large. He even used some losses to claim a $72.9 million tax refund. http://nyti.ms/30hQAWN 
See how President Trump’s time in office has affected his finances, and how an IRS audit and looming bank debt may make the future difficult to navigate regardless of the result of the November election. http://nyti.ms/30hQAWN
