Trump family business receives more political funding, RNC pays more than $310,000 in March

According to Forbes, according to the latest documents disclosed by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Republican National Committee (RNC) paid up to $317,000 to Trump family companies in March 2025 for expenses such as event venues, catering and souvenir production.

The report shows that the largest amount of money was $195,000 collected by Mar-a-Lago, mainly for venue rental and catering services; Trump National Doral Golf Club in Florida received $85,000; Donald Trump Jr.'s publishing company received $35,000 from it to customize souvenirs for the RNC.

Since 2016, Mar-a-Lago, as a frequent venue for Republican activities, has accumulated more than $5.4 million in revenue from political groups. This trend shows that although Trump has actively deployed in the field of cryptocurrency in recent years and tried to participate in emerging financial markets by issuing digital assets such as "Official Trump Coin" (TRUMP), his traditional business empire is still a stable channel for political income.

The nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) expressed concern, saying that the Trump family has formed a long-standing pattern of intertwined interests by integrating private business with political donations. CREW pointed out that although such practices are still feasible within the legal framework, they pose potential risks to government integrity and public trust and deserve continued attention.

Analysts believe that Trump's investment in the cryptocurrency field has not replaced his traditional business operations, but has built a more diversified revenue system through the complementarity of new and old resources. The Trump family business still profits from political activities, indicating that its strategy of closely tying political influence with economic interests is still continuing.
