Well before he became president of the United States, Donald Trump’s money and business savviness were the most interesting things about him — at least from a global perspective. The public fascination was in part owed to the fact that he’s always presented himself in the way that one might imagine a billionaire tycoon in a cartoon about billionaire tycoons, living in a penthouse tower surrounded by easy symbols of wealth: pure gold, rare marble and dazzling chandeliers hanging from impossibly high ceilings.
