#Trump already has the weight of the #ExecutiveBranch behind his efforts to strip funding from top #universities, #deport millions of unauthorized #immigrants & pressure #ForeignGovernments to change their economic policies.

With the sprawling bill that passed through the #House on Thurs, #Republicans are also preparing to enlist the #TaxCode as another tool against Trump’s political foes.

Trump company strikes Qatari golf resort deal in a sign it's not holding back from foreign business

The Trump family company struck a deal Wednesday to build a luxury golf resort in Qatar in a sign it has no plans to hold back from foreign dealmaking during a second Trump administration, despite the danger of a president shaping U.S. public policy for personal financial gain. The project, which features Trump-branded beachside villas and an 18-hole golf course to be built by a Saudi Arabian company, is the first foreign deal by the Trump Organization since Donald Trump took office and unlike any done in his first term. Back then, he forswore foreign deals in an extraordinary press

These first 2 projects both involve land now controlled by the govts, meaning a deal would have to be finalized w/ #ForeignGovernments.

A 3rd project, also in #Albania, would be built on the Zvërnec peninsula, a 1k-acre coastal area in the south….

#Kushner’s participation would be through his investment firm, #AffinityPartners, which has $2B in funding from #SaudiArabia’s Public Investment Fund, among other foreign investors.
