Donald Trump '.gov' Transition Website Plugs Firm's Properties

Misty: Of course it does.

Donald Trump may have the new title of president-elect, but he's still plugging his old gig as the head of a massive business empire.

Trump's transition website is now equipped with the official ".gov" federal web address.

And while the "Meet The President Elect" section is typically dedicated to outlining an official's vision and background, there is one particular emphasis in his resume.

More than one-quarter of Trump's bio refers to his business properties around the world.

The focus on Trump's individual private properties, from which he draws his income, is a break from the political norms of a candidate transitioning into the White House.

Barack Obama, for example, had a similar bio page during his transition as president elect that outlined his career achievements and charitable work.

Nowhere did Obama mention his books, which were best-sellers and the driving source of his wealth while he served in the White House.
