The nonprofit organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington reported that in the first 14 months of Trump’s second term as president, the Trump Store has sold at least 622 new products, costing a total of nearly $43,000.

“This is an unprecedented level of monetization of the presidency, even by the standards of Trump’s own first term,” the ethics group said.

The White House has denied claims that Trump has profited from his time in office.

The Trump Store launched in 2017, early in Trump’s first presidential term, according to the nonprofit. The store brought in a whopping $8.8 million in 2024, which was the year Trump was elected president for the second time, the organization reported, citing Trump’s last published financial records.


The unprecedented abuse of office.
