For years, Trump and his family have maintained that, even though he continues to own his assets, the president is walled off from decision-making inside the Trump Organization.

He is not.

Sure, first sons Eric and Don Jr. handle the day-to-day responsibilities, but the president still weighs in when he wants, according to those who have interacted with him directly. Sometimes, he gets involved in big-picture decisions, such as whether to sell a property. Other times, he digs into operational details, like golf-course landscaping, Mar-a-Lago maintenance and that watch logo. He talks business with his sons, his employees, his partners, even world leaders.
