The presidency opened up new opportunities: Trump's commercial and residential property portfolio morphed into a one-of-a-kind marketplace, through which anyone, anywhere, could pay the president of the United States. Hundreds of customers-- including foreign governments, big businesses, and individual investors-- obliged.-- adapted from Amazon info.
