All the President's Profiting

No modern president has jumped so directly from the world of business to the presidency as Donald Trump.

And in so doing, Trump has refused to do as his predecessors have done: sever ties to the companies or financial interests that may pose, or present the appearance of, a conflict of interest. By keeping his assets in a family-managed trust, which he can revoke at any time, Trump and his family are in the unique position to profit directly from his public service. Special interests in Washington have caught on. Those seeking to curry favor with Trump are not only donating to his reelection campaign but holding fundraisers and galas at his resorts, private clubs and hotels – the proceeds of which benefit him and his family.

To track this new influence-buying and presidential profiteering, the Center for Responsive Politics has created this page to track payments to Trump properties from Trump-related entities and beyond. [See more of our expenditures data.]

TESTIMONIALS

  • "It's a real pleasure to join in celebrating ten years of impressive accomplishment of RootsAction -- in stemming the tide of reaction and pressing forward toward the kind of world to which we aspire and that we can and must achieve. The challenges we face are daunting. RootsAction is needed more than ever. On to what lies ahead with energy and commitment, and mutual support." -- Noam Chomsky
