""We've never seen any president profit off of something like the Trump Store, or indeed, any of the numerous businesses that Trump has continued to profit from while serving as president," CREW communications director Meghan Faulkner tells Fast Company."
""The merch store is just the most obvious physical representation of how Trump has essentially put his office up for sale," Faulkner says."
The Trump Store features a variety of products, including skincare, golf gear, and branded merchandise, totaling $91,145.12. It has become a significant revenue source, generating $8.8 million in 2024. The store's existence raises ethical concerns about presidential profit, as it normalizes the idea of the presidency being for sale. CREW suggests that legislation should be enacted to require presidents to divest from potentially conflicting assets within 30 days of taking office.
