Trump on allegations he's profiting from the presidency

Ross Douthat puts a specific question to President Donald Trump: how did his net worth rise by nearly $3 billion since returning to office, according to a Forbes estimate?

"Well, you should have had stock," Trump replies in the interview preview posted by 60 Minutes. He then says he devotes almost no time to his net worth and that a son watches over his money. The excerpt does not identify which son.

Trump also says he had substantial cash before taking office, before adding: "I don't take a salary, you know." Those are the responses shown in this short preview, rather than a detailed breakdown of the increase Douthat asks about.

Introduced by Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan, the clip drew more than half a million views within ten hours, far beyond the channel's usual short-form audience. It is an excerpt promoting the longer 60 Minutes interview, not the full exchange.

A separate upload of Douthat's wealth question also drew an unusually large audience. Another widely watched excerpt asks whether Trump could refrain from insulting Democrats long enough to reach a deal, the exchange covered as we reported here. Of these interview previews, the clip centered on his wealth has drawn the most views.
