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.

Donald Trump and his family have been widely reported to have financially benefited from his time in and out of office by leveraging his name and the presidency itself for various business ventures, which critics argue presents significant ethical conflicts of interest. [1, 2]
Key ways the Trump family enriched themselves include:Foreign Government and Special Interest Payments: The Trump Organization received millions in payments from foreign governments, special interest groups, and political campaigns, often through patronage at Trump-owned hotels, resorts, and golf courses (such as Mar-a-Lago and the Trump International Hotel in D.C.). This has raised concerns about violations of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause.
New International Business Deals: While in office during his first term, the Trump family pledged to abstain from new overseas deals, a promise that was later abandoned. After he left office and in his second term, the Trumps pursued numerous new ventures abroad, with major projects announced in the Persian Gulf (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar) and Serbia, often involving large investments from sovereign wealth funds and foreign entities with close ties to their governments.
Cryptocurrency Ventures: The Trump family launched several cryptocurrency-related ventures, including the sale of a $TRUMP meme coin and the creation of the firm World Liberty Financial, which received a $2 billion investment from an investment firm controlled by the Saudi crown prince. These ventures have generated significant income through sales proceeds and trading fees, and critics allege Trump’s public statements on crypto have influenced their value.
Leveraging the Trump Brand: The presidency increased the visibility and perceived value of the Trump name globally, leading to lucrative licensing and branding deals that might have been impossible otherwise. Revenue from properties like Mar-a-Lago saw significant increases during his time in office.
Jared Kushner’s Investments: Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, raised billions of dollars for his private equity firm, Aforo Capital, primarily from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, including a $2 billion investment from the Saudi Public Investment Fund. He also pursued a real estate development in Serbia with Middle Eastern funding. Ivanka Trump’s work on the Opportunity Zones program while in the White House raised conflict of interest concerns as Jared Kushner held a significant stake in a company that benefited from the program. [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]Ethics experts and government watchdogs have noted that the Trumps’ refusal to fully divest from their businesses created unprecedented conflicts of interest, as individuals and foreign governments could patronize their properties to curry favor with the president. While a precise total of the profits directly attributable to the presidency is difficult to quantify due to the opaque nature of the Trump Organization’s finances, various reports and trackers estimate billions in financial gains.

IDF forces intercepted a drone earlier today in the Yoav Brigade area attempting to smuggle ten pistols across the eastern border into Israel. The drone was located, seized, and the weapons were handed over to security forces for further handling.
