Profiting from the presidency
What he and his family have made while in office, based on his own financial disclosures and investigative reporting.
NPR's estimate of what he made in his first year back in office, from crypto, licensing deals, media settlements, and more.
His 2025 financial disclosure shows more than $1 billion from crypto ventures, mainly memecoin royalties and World Liberty Financial token sales, while his administration loosened crypto regulation.
The $TRUMP coin briefly reached a $15 billion market value, then lost about 97% of it. Trump took in roughly $635 million in royalties. Most of the people who bought the coin lost money.
A public company's purchase of World Liberty tokens entitled the Trump family to about $500 million. That company's stock then fell about 93%.
A House Oversight report found at least 20 foreign governments, including China and Saudi Arabia, paid his businesses during just two years of his first term. The report says the full total is likely much higher.
Public spending
What it costs taxpayers
What his priorities cost, using official estimates where they exist.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that a system like the one he ordered would cost about $1.2 trillion to build and run for 20 years. That's far above the $175 billion he quoted.
Travel and security costs for golf outings passed $101 million by March 2026, according to HuffPost's count based on GAO cost data. At that pace the term total would exceed $300 million.
He tore down the East Wing for a ballroom he says donors will pay for. Its estimated cost has doubled to $400 million, and the administration asked Congress for $1 billion in taxpayer money for White House security work that includes the ballroom.
The Air Force Secretary told Congress the retrofit would "probably" cost less than $400 million. The actual cost is classified, and some lawmakers and experts estimated it could pass $1 billion.
The Army's estimate for the June 14, 2025 parade, which fell on his 79th birthday, while federal agencies were cutting staff and programs.
Public buildings
Remaking Washington in his image
He tore down the East Wing, paved over the Rose Garden, put his name on the Kennedy Center, and is building a 250-foot arch, mostly without Congress's approval and over the objections of preservationists.
He demolished the East Wing
He said the ballroom "won't interfere with the current building." Then crews tore down the entire East Wing, the biggest change to the White House exterior in more than 80 years, done without the usual review process. The ballroom's estimated cost has doubled to $400 million.
Paved over Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden
He ripped out the lawn of the garden Jackie Kennedy planted and replaced it with stone pavers and yellow-striped umbrellas, a copy of the patio at Mar-a-Lago.
A gold-plated Oval Office
He has covered the Oval Office in gold-toned trim, portraits, and busts, and added giant flagpoles, a helipad, and a "Presidential Walk of Fame" to the grounds.
Took over the Kennedy Center
He installed a loyal board, which made him chairman and then voted to add his name to the building, even though Congress never approved the change. A member of Congress on the board has sued over it.
Artists, donors, and the opera walked out
Dozens of artists have canceled, and donors pulled back. The Washington National Opera announced it was leaving. The center even threatened to sue a jazz musician for $1 million for canceling his Christmas Eve show.
His design was approved by a commission he appointed. It includes $15 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities, with total cost estimates above $100 million. Veterans have sued, saying Congress never approved it. The planned schedule calls for construction up to 20 hours a day for two to three years.
A two-week Reflecting Pool job, months later
He had the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool redone in "American flag blue." The job was supposed to take two weeks. After a botched installation, it was still unfinished months later.
