A comprehensive investigation by Popular Information has found that President Donald Trump used the nation's highest office to promote his family's commercial interests 110 times in 16 months, a systematic pattern that accelerated as his administration simultaneously dismantled the independent watchdogs designed to hold the presidency to account.
The investigation scrutinised Trump's Truth Social posts, on-camera public remarks, and official event locations since his second inauguration on 20 January 2025, identifying 59 commercial promotions on Truth Social, 30 in on-camera statements, and 21 official government events held at properties he personally owns.
