Republicans have spent at least $4.7 million at Trump properties since he took office
The Republican National Committee, pro-Trump super PACs, and Republican political candidates spent almost $100,000 at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC during the first quarter of 2019, according to Quartzs review of new Federal Elections Commission (FEC) filings.
The latest expenditures at the Trump hotel, just blocks from the White House, bring total spending by GOP entities, including Donald Trumps own re-election committee, to about $4.7 million at Trump hotels, restaurants, and golf courses since he was elected. The total is part of an upswing that started last year.
In 2015-2016, Trump properties took in $13,530,00098.6% of which came from Trump-related committees, per data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. In 2017-2018, Trump properties took in $4,550,600, 34% of which came from Trump-related committees; 36% came from the Republican party. None came from Democrats.
Trumps campaign is funded by donors large and small, who are the ones that are actually paying these expenses at his properties. About 55% of his campaigns recent funds came in contributions under $200.
