By holding onto his businesses, Donald trump launched an unprecedented experiment: What happens to a multibillion- dollar business when its leader ascends to the presidency of the united states? and more importantly, what happens to the united states? White House, inc. is the definitive book on money and politics in the trump era. it examines every aspect of the president's portfolio: his exclusive clubs, D.C. hotel, overseas partnerships, commercial properties, personal mansions and private planes. it also investigates trump associates. the president's disregard for norms set the tone at the top of the federal government, sparking a trickle-down ethics crisis with no precedent in modern american history. trump appointed an inner circle of centimillionaires and billionaires—including Jared Kushner, Wilbur Ross and Carl icahn—who all arrived in Washington with their own conflict-ridden portfolios.
