#Trump has never been someone to ask what he can do for his country.

In his 2nd term, as in his 1st, he is instead testing the limits of what his country can do for him.

He has poured himself into the #exploitation of the #presidency — into finding out just how much #money #people, #corporations & other #nations are willing to put into his pockets in hopes of bending the #power of the #government to the #service of their #interests.

NYT knows this number is an underestimate because some of his #profits remain #hidden from public view. And they continue to grow.

In fact, “The Trumps” have made at least $23 million trom licensing the #Trump name just in overseas marketing since his re-election.

A #Trump hotel in #Oman. A tower in #India. A #GolfCourse near Riyadh, #SaudiArabia. These are just a few of the >20 overseas projects the #TrumpOrganization is pursuing, often requiring cooperation with foreign governments [um, #FARA folks???]. These deals have made a minimum of millions for the #Trumps…. And the admin has treated those exact same governments favorably.
