Since his election, more than a dozen independent, dark money groups have spent over $20 million on advertisements in support of President Trump. These groups, which operate separately from his official $500 million political operation, include organizations like America First Steel Alliance—advocating for Trump’s steel import tariffs—and Seniors 4 Better Care, which has invested heavily in TV and digital ad campaigns. Notably, key strategists such as Chris LaCivita and Tony Fabrizio are involved in managing these efforts.
Recent reporting from Axios on March 28, 2025, highlights that these shadowy fan clubs are expected to further ramp up their spending over the coming months. The trend underscores how dark money efforts continue to play a significant role in bolstering Trump’s political narrative, operating under no disclosure limits and leveraging extensive financial backing from undisclosed donors.
