Donald Trump styled himself as a successful business tycoon in 2016 but we now know he struggled to make money as a businessman in the lead-up to his election. So how has the presidency changed the fortunes of the Trump business?

The Apprentice led to not only an estimated $US197 million in earnings but a revival of Mr Trump's image, which allowed him to earn another $US230 million from deals such as licensing his name and likeness.

This pattern of Trump's campaign paying Trump's businesses continued from the campaign trail to the White House, when his inauguration committee paid $1 million for a ballroom at Trump's Washington DC hotel. An event in support of the 2020 Trump campaign, run by a group called Trump Victory, reportedly paid $6,719 for some rooms that were usually valued at only $500 per night.Perhaps the crown jewel in the golfing portfolio that Mr Trump built before he became president is Turnberry, one of Scotland's most famous courses.Mr Trump's mother, who was born in Scotland, used to eat dinner there — at least according to Mr Trump, who told the story when he visited Turnberry as President in 2016.

This is not news. defundtheABC

Don't mention Biden.

The republican garbage are sure getting filthy stinking rich, whilst most in America earn $7 per hour or less, and pay more in tax than the trillionaire’s in percentage terms.

Since you Marxists won't talk about Biden, here's Guiliani to do it for you.

Has the ABC ever written a positive piece about Trump?

Did you mention he doesn't take a salary? Did you mention how all the Democrats are wealthy beyond their salaries? Marxist ABC TDS makes me want to vomit.

We’ve had four years of anti Trump drivel from theirabc, four more to go. FakeNews

Now do the one where Joe Biden has become a multimillionare after 47 years in the Senate... TheirABC TrumpDerangementSyndrome auspol

Biden's been getting rich we know that much. Mr Obama also if you care to report on that.

The ABC as a montage of Trump hating Karen's...

Trump is a Fascist.

Give us run down, of cost per round of golf at his 19 courses around world. Please. Numbers that could include, lower socio-economic affordability. Complexity of popularity, royals manage with a great deal of hoo-doo. It's an impossible act,for oligarchs to duplicate. USATODAY

I don't know if I can stomach another 5 days of this ToomeyWright. Isn't there is some real news the ABC could be reporting?

Bullshit he donates his 400k salary to charity. Joe Biden became filthy ditch by selling out US workers to the Chinese.
