Seems like something that is very easy to get around, kind of like how movie studios get around paying royalties by reducing the profits of a movie by paying surplus funds to separate company owned by the same owner.

Not to mention the actual truth doesn't matter. If any media does actually bother to check down the road, it'll get printed in a newspaper, his supporters won't care, and the next tweet will jump to the front of the news cycle.

Without seeing the actual pen to paper details myself (which I assume will be released seeing as they had them sitting there at the front of the press conference, or supposedly so) I cant comment any further regarding the details. I would hope ANY revenue from foreign state orgs (Rental in Trump Tower, Hotel stays, gov sponsored golf trips ect...) would goto the US treasury but again without knowing the exact details I'll reserve judgement.
