Prior to 2015, Trump properties never earned more than $80,000 from political spending.
President Donald Trump’s hotels and properties have taken in nearly $5 million from Republicans, GOP groups and the president’s own campaign since he took office in 2017.
Through 2018, Trump-related committees spent at least $1,584,941 at Trump properties and the Republican party had spent $1,618,355. GOP candidates, elected officials and the leaders of PACs spent a combined total of $756,640. Democrats, conversely, had spent $0 at Trump properties. Prior to 2015, political spending at Trump properties had not surpassed $80,000 within a two-year election cycle. The highest previous level was just $77,922 between 2011 and 2012. Although precedent has seen modern-day presidents place their personal businesses into blind trusts while serving in the White House, Trump chose not to do so. Instead, he left his sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr., to manage his businesses, with the president pledging to not involve himself in the operations.
