You’re one of the first to know the whole story.

CREW’s newly released report Trump's 2,000 Conflicts of Interest and Counting is an attempt to measure the immeasurable.

It’s impossible to quantify just how much damage Trump has done to our democracy by blatantly using the presidency for private gain, but we can tally all the public instances of overlap between the government and the Trump Organization. That number is 2,310 and counting...


The report details the truly staggering number of conflicts that have resulted from President Trump’s refusal to divest from his business interests while serving in the nation’s highest public office. It exposes his habit of rewarding those who patronize his businesses with access, job offers, and influence over government policy. It dives into his foreign trademarks and his profitable golf hobby.

Here are the highlights:

  • 362: times President Trump has visited his properties at taxpayer expense
  • 57: number of foreign countries whose officials have patronized his businesses
  • 250: members of the Trump administration who have visited his properties
  • 90: Members of Congress who have paid visits to his businesses

We have said from the beginning of the Trump presidency that his failure to divest presented an absolute ethics catastrophe. Two and a half years later, we have the numbers to back it up. The president has created a pipeline for foreign governments and special interests to send money to his family business, and it is clear that they have taken that opportunity, time and time again.

Please take a few minutes to read our new report, and let the numbers sink in. Then share it with your friends on Facebook or Twitter. Finally, if you stand with CREW in the fight against the immeasurable corruption of the Trump administration, consider making a donation to support this critical and innovative research work.

2,310 conflicts of interest are 2,310 too many. Each of them threatens our democracy, by forcing us to ask whether the President is acting in the public interest or to boost his personal profits. We’re not only counting conflicts, but taking actions every day to fight for a more ethical government.

Thank you for joining us in that fight,


Noah Bookbinder
Executive Director, CREW
