Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig, Trump Tex Figures Show a Decade of Hugh Losses; Core businesses absorbed over %1 billion in red ink from 1985 through 1994. New York Times, May 8, 2019 (front-page top report).
two consecutive paragraphs:
"The new tax information does not answer questions raised by House Democrats in their pursuit of the last six years of Mr. Trump's tax returns — about his recent business dealings and possible foreign sources of financing and influence. Nor does it offer a fundamentally new narrative of his picaresque career.
"But in the granular detail of tax results, it gives a precise accounting of the president’s financial failures and of the constantly shifting focus that would characterize his decades in business. In contrast to his father’s stable and profitable empire of rental apartments in Brooklyn and Queens, Mr. Trump’s primary sources of income changed year after year, from big stock earnings, to a single year of more than $67.1 million in salary, to a mysterious $52.9 million windfall in interest income. But always, those gains were overwhelmed by losses on his casinos and other projects.
