WASHINGTON – Even as he leverages his presidency to make himself millions, perhaps even billions of dollars, Donald Trump is also funneling Republican donor money into his own cash registers through the political committees he controls. In the 10 months since he retook office, the Republican National Committee has spent at least $796,513 at Trump’s hotels and country clubs, while MAGA Inc., Trump’s super PAC, has spent $60,733, according to a HuffPost analysis of Federal Election Commission data.

The figures are based on filings to date, with some committees providing updates only twice a year. The total number for 2025 will not be disclosed until the end of January 2026. The combined $857,246 represents just under four-fifths of the $1.1 million that the Republican candidate and committees spent at his properties.

The RNC, for example, spent $193,145.70 on March 5 to hold an event at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s country club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida. Two months later, on May 2, the committee spent $307,202.49 for an event at his golf resort in Doral, near Miami’s airport. Three weeks later, on May 30, MAGA Inc. spent $20,711.84 at Trump’s golf course in Sterling, Virginia.

In all, 73 different GOP candidates and committees sent money Trump’s way, from $45.20 from Wyoming congresswoman Harriett Hageman’s campaign to $1,461.13 by the Massachusetts Republican Party to the five- and six-figure sums spent by MAGA Inc. and the RNC.
