Donald Trump said he and his friends were paying for his lavish White House ballroom. But an explosive investigation has revealed $333 million (£249M) in private donation commitments, including multimillion-dollar pledges from America's biggest corporations, while exposing one conspicuous omission: the president himself.
An internal spreadsheet obtained by The Washington Post lists 67 donations exceeding $10,000 (£7,495.65), totalling $333 million as of late September 2026. The records offer a detailed glimpse into a fundraising campaign supported by corporate giants, wealthy political donors and contributors seeking anonymity.
