    I don’t think he does. We are very used to money BEING power in and of itself, which is largely true, but Trump has something better than money. Control and true power over the country. So if he wants something, money can essentially just “appear” like it has, because he can do such things as these massive tax breaks. So everyone will bend over and give him his little treats in exchange for the power and/or money they also want.

      Apples CEO literally gave Trump a big 24k gold bar as a gift. I doubt he has it sitting on a shelf somewhere. Probably sold it for millions.
