In his new book, investigative journalist Dan Alexander assembles a detailed portrait of President Trump's business interests. He says Trump has broken a number of vows he made about how he would conduct business while in office.

Yes, Trump is a billionaire. ... If you go through his assets and you look at what he owns and you look at the income that they throw off and you look at the value of other similarly traded assets, it's just a math equation. You get to the end, and you find that he's worth $2.5 billion. It's nowhere near what Trump says he's worth. He'd like to imagine he's worth $10 billion or something like that.

And then you could figure out what the market rate was per square foot and estimate how much money this tenant might be paying the president. That's how you have to figure out how much money is flowing in from here. If you look across the more than 150 different tenants, at least 35 of those tenants lobbied the federal government while their landlord was in office. At least 30 of them received more than $8 billion in federal contracts. You have hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into Trump's empire and billions of dollars flowing from Trump's administration to these companies.

NPR, you know I love you but please, let’s get better at our copywriting and clarity. For starters, “broken a number of vows” should be deleted and replaced with repeatedly lied.

If you didn't listen to him on fresh air, do yourself a favor and listen to it. It was very informative and interesting.

No! not possible! I don't believe it! Trump, break a 'vow!?' I'm sure his wives will tell you that's not possible!

Investigation and journalists haven't been a couple for over a decade. Its just activists with a paper title. DefundNPR DefundPBS

I just released a book that details how falling rain is wet and the temperature of the sun is Hot.

This was a great listen - didn’t want to get out of the car before it was over.

Did he do the same thing for the Clinton Foundation?

Of course he has. Doesn’t your own reporting confirm this or are you going to both sides this as well?

Non stop anti Trump propaganda. NPR really is National Propaganda Radio.

Trump is the most corrupt President in American history.

Bloomberg.....your money does not make you smart. In fact, you have become more of a jerk then people originally thought. You support a liberal party by donating millions of dollars, proving you do not believe the party can win on the merits. You use money to negate our vote!

What a surprise! Good luck if they ever sale 10 books.

of course he did. shame on you if you believe ANYTHING that man says.

Fake news

Yeah, his vows aren’t worth much though are they? Empty words, they mean nothing

He’s a liar, it’s not a newsflash

Shocking.

Speaking of vows, He cheated on his wife, who had just had a baby, with a porn star and then paid her 130,000 dollars to keep quiet.

A step towards removing rights for women. Nice. Only sexist people are against this pick This is Trump's best opportunity to tilt SCOTUS to his favor...primarily for cases involving his own personal matters.
