Donald J. Trump is structuring his impending presidency to advance the Trump brand and enrich the Trump family.
Developers typically cozy up to politicians around the world to push their projects through governmental bureaucracy. That’s what Trump and his children have done to build and expand their real estate empire. But, now, governments will be cozying up to the world’s most powerful developer.
Trump is about to wield the power of the U.S. presidency, His global business partners will be trading on that power. And some world leaders will be currying financial favor with the new president to advance their national economic agenda and personal financial concerns.
Trump himself is still beholden to several state-run banks and many foreign investors to whom he is indebted, and who may have influence over his strategic decisions in the Oval Office.
Candidate Trump and his children took advantage of their notoriety during the presidential campaign and bolstered their world-wide business brand, including filing dozens of trademark registrations in various countries where they intend to expand their companies.
As president-elect, Trump continues to have business meetings with his partners and his children. And his children now play dual roles, running the Trump empire and working on the transition team that will pick the heads of agencies that have regulatory and investigative oversight of their empire.
The Trump Organization has effectively joined with the Trump Transition Team to form one racket, removing the ethical barriers between Trump’s business ventures and his upcoming presidential duties.
Donald J. Trump and his children, Ivanka, Donald Jr. and Eric, are still conducting business in at least 20 countries, including China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Azerbaijan, India, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Scotland, Ireland, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Bermuda, Panama and Canada.
In addition, the Trump family now benefits from increased diplomatic patronage of their hotels and real estate properties, further filling their coffers with ‘rent money’ from power-brokers hoping for profitable dealings.
When President-elect Trump takes the oath of office he will preside over an unprecedented, unbridled world-wide influence-peddling enterprise.
Global executives and leaders will be lining up to enter into business deals, negotiate favorable government policies and generally support Trump businesses and properties.
The world will know that the best way to influence the president of the United States will be to “Buy Trump.”
