One man, wielding economic power like royal favor — handing out exemptions as if he’s bestowing titles at court. No process, no policy — just the whims of the crown.

Yes just like "l'ancient regime", just before the storming of the Bastille, rise of the revolution, and the incessent fall of the guillotines' blades, thirsty for the necks of aristocracy.

How much does a company have to pay to be a friend and to be entitled to preferential treatment and does the payment have to be made to Mr Trump for his personal use?

Kickbacks
Pay to play

If you are my friend then don’t worry about the laws. If you are not my friend then you are guilty and I will persecute you when I wish.

Not sure Trump actually does friends. Perhaps sycophant would be more appropriate
