tl;dr: Trump's lust for money is fed by "deals" that do not need to be conventionally successful.
Here's the subheadline:
Everything the US president does is for money – and in serving his avarice, he’s managed to triumph over the market
Select quotes:
Trump has figured out to an exceptional degree that dealmaking does not need to be successful in order to massively increase his wealth.
Deals, successful or not, are Trump’s magic means to amass money and feed his avarice.
... greed can have numerous objects – such as food, sex and power – whereas avarice is single-minded in its focus on money.
Trump exemplifies this focus.
Other commodities are of interest to him only insofar as they serve his desire to acquire, hoard and increase his stock – of money.

I feel like this absolutely would have been almost everyone’s first guess lmao.
Though, on second thought, maybe it would’ve come second after his lust for minors.

My favourite aspect of this is Taco Don attempting to extend his questionable "deal expertise" to international affairs and failing miserably almost every time.
So basically whenever he tries to do something in a field, that requires at least a bit of getting acquittanced with background information, understanding of underlying processes, and where results can be exactly measured (unlike in real estate business) - he scores an F, almost every time.
