Who is currently in charge in the US? Jill Biden? Kamala Harris? President-on-paper Joe Biden? Or is it in fact president-elect Donald Trump?

Trump understands instinctively what other politicians struggle to get their heads around, including the power of how things look. And a beautiful private members’ club on an immaculate, sunny, palm-tree-dotted strip of land is an appealing invitation — even to the already very wealthy . He understands that having a glitzy backdrop for announcements and interviews makes him appear presidential when he’s not even in power.
