- The Trump Organization has not publicly disclosed how much taxpayer money has been paid to the company since Trump has taken office.
- Trump has previously stated that his resorts are easier for law enforcement to secure, a defense he has repeatedly used to justify his administration's stays at his resorts during overseas travel.
