>>Yes, but each of those deal/organizations is a separate LLC, the only chain of command is internal to them. My understanding is there are around 500 pass through entities, ridiculously. A lot of which are simply suppliers to others. So, perhaps Trump Toilet Paper LLC buys toilet paper for all entities and resells it to the other entities that need it. This is usually done for liability protection (I once worked for what is now a Koch Brothers organization which then owned 100s of chip-ñ-saw operations. Even they didn’t have that many entities and they owned a damned railroad as part of it. But I get the purpose.) Anyway, SOME of them are no doubt substantial operations. For example, a sizable hotels will have a hotel operation, restaurant, and a bar at least. But I think his would be broader with Golf courses, and other amenities. Presumably each of those would have delegated managers with wignificant autonomy. I would expect that experience to be more complex then what a typical senator would have operated. Sanders, for example? As a CPA I once had occasion to manage a manufacturer of funeral dresses for a year. Horrible experience. Never made that mistake again! Seamstresses didn’t much like my ways.
