LOS ANGELES - s4story -- "Stupid," "and a deal is a deal."  In an unguarded moment Trump scolded himself for not cashing in on the presidency during his first term. He made it clear he wouldn't make that mistake in his second go-round. He was as good as his word. Within a couple of months of his taking office in his second term his wealth had soared.

Trump was determined that he wouldn't make that supposed mistake again. He wasted no time in the days after his re-election virtually tacking up a sign that he was ready to do business. He hosted business and investor groups of all stripes. He announced new investment deals for his luxury residential developments, hotels, resorts and golf properties with Middle East and Asian oligarchs and governments. He plunged heavily into the crypto-currency conglomerates.

Trump was not bothered by any scruples and openly boasted that anyone should be ecstatic at having his brand on hotels and resorts in their city or country. All, of course, for a hefty price.
