Trump Has Money in China

 I read The Washington Post's What we’ve learned from Trump’s tax returns and this stood out for me:

3. Trump has bank accounts in several foreign countries and earned money in many nations while he was president.

Trump said in his tax filings that he had completed paperwork required of any American who has a financial account in another country worth more than $10,000. At various times, he said, he had such accounts in China, Ireland, the United Kingdom and St. Martin. He reports earning money in a far longer list of foreign countries.

That Donald J. Trump seems to think the national interest means he makes a profit, what influence did these monies and profits have on him?
