Trump: being president costing me a fortune

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that being president will personally cost him billions of dollars, due in part to the lawyers he has had to hire to defend him in various lawsuits.

"This thing is costing me a fortune, being president," Trump said during a speech in Pennsylvania.

"What about the $5 billion that I’ll lose?" the U.S. leader asked, noting his high cost of lawyers "cause everyday they sue me for something."

"It's probably costing me from $3 to $5 billion for the privilege of being — and I couldn't care less—I don’t care. You know if you’re wealthy, it doesn't matter. I just want to do a great job," NBCNews cited Trump as saying.
