A Russian oligarch pays Trumpf $10m for a $1m property in the US. The money (or the value of that money) is now in the US. That oligarch then pays Trumpf $1m for a separate $15m property in the US. The oligarch sells that $15m property in the US. The oligarch has made money selling properties while Trumpf takes a cut for each transaction.
