Trump has made more than $150 million dollars off of back stage “V.I.P. package” sold for more than $7,500, a $75 picture book, a multimillion-dollar advance by a new publishing company co-founded by his eldest son, Make America Great Again” hats for $50 each — a $20 markup from the price currently offered by his political action committee — with all proceeds going to a Trump-owned company.
Now wife, Melania, has gotten into the act, too, auctioning off online collectibles and scheduling her own big-ticket event in Naples this April, a “tulips and topiaries high tea,” with V.I.P. packages reaching $50,000 and an undisclosed portion going to charity. In addition to the above the Trump PAC has raised close to $300 million dollars with zero limitations as to how the money can be spent including personal use.
For Mr. Trump, the monetization of his post-presidency represents a return to his roots. He expertly leveraged his celebrity as the host of “The Apprentice” and his image as a decisive businessman to build credibility when he first entered politics. Now, he is executing the same playbook, only in reverse: converting a political following that provided hundreds of millions of dollars in small campaign contributions into a base of consumers for all things branded Trump.
