The Trump family has been criticized by ethics experts for using the presidency to financially enrich themselves through a variety of methods, including leveraging the Trump brand for new business deals with foreign entities, accepting payments at their properties from political groups and foreign governments, and engaging in cryptocurrency ventures tied to his political status. [1, 2]
Key methods of financial enrichment include:Continuation of Business Ties: Unlike previous presidents, Donald Trump did not divest from his businesses. Instead, he placed his assets in a family-managed trust, which he can revoke at any time, allowing him and his family to profit from his public service.
Payments at Trump Properties: Special interest groups, political campaigns, and foreign governments have hosted fundraisers, galas, and events at Trump-owned hotels, resorts, and private clubs (such as Mar-a-Lago and the Trump International Hotel in D.C.), directing millions of dollars to the family businesses. A congressional report found that Trump’s businesses received at least $7.8 million from foreign governments alone during his presidency.
New International Deals: The Trump Organization, run by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump during his terms in office, pursued new overseas ventures after promising not to do so during the first term. These include multi-billion dollar real estate projects in the Persian Gulf (e.g., in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman) and Serbia, many involving developers with close ties to foreign governments.
Cryptocurrency Ventures: The Trumps launched several cryptocurrency ventures, including a meme coin ($TRUMP) and a stablecoin company (World Liberty Financial), that appear to trade on his presidential status. These ventures have generated hundreds of millions in trading fees and received a $2 billion investment from an investment firm backed by the UAE government, drawing significant ethics concerns about potential conflicts of interest with U.S. foreign policy.
Leveraging the “Trump” Name: The family continued to generate revenue through licensing deals, where developers pay to use the Trump name on buildings and products, a business model that has been reinvigorated by his presidential status.
Family Member Business Dealings: Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and a senior White House adviser, raised billions for his private equity company from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds after leaving the White House. Ivanka Trump, also a White House adviser, worked on the Opportunity Zones program while holding a financial stake in a company that benefited from it, raising conflict of interest issues. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]Ethics watchdogs note that while previous presidents have sought to avoid conflicts of interest, the Trumps have “monetized the presidency more than anyone who has ever occupied the White House”. The opaque ownership structure of the Trump Organization makes it difficult to quantify the precise total of all profits directly linked to the presidency, but recent estimates have suggested the family has gained billions in cash and increased asset value through these means.
