唐纳德·特朗普总统在本选举周期中，未动用其百亿身家中的一分钱来助选共和党同僚。
President Donald Trump hasn’t spent a penny of his 10-figure wealth to boost fellow Republicans this cycle.
《华盛顿太阳报》对联邦选举委员会记录的审查显示，截至10月14日，特朗普在2026选举周期中，未向任何候选人委员会、全国政党委员会或超级政治行动委员会（超级筹委会）捐款。
A Washington Sun review of Federal Election Commission records indicates Trump hasn’t donated to any candidate committee, national party committee or super PAC during the 2026 election cycle, through Oct. 14.
也没有公开迹象表明，特朗普——他在第二个总统任期内财富大幅增长——此后捐出过自己的钱。
There’s no public indication that Trump, who’s grown significantly richer during his second presidential term, has contributed his own money since then, either.
这与总统本人的表态背道而驰，他曾表示计划在中期选举中捐款助选，以助其政党保持对国会的控制权。
This runs counter to the president’s own statements that he planned to shell out contributions in the midterms as his party seeks to retain control of Congress.
“我将向我认为优秀的各个竞选活动和人士捐款，我认为优秀的共和党人，我认为会赢、能赢、或接近获胜的人，”特朗普在9月告诉《华盛顿太阳报》记者贾丝明·赖特，此前她询问了关于其“让美国再次伟大公司”（MAGA Inc.）超级筹委会的运作情况。“我将花费任何必要数额的资金来设法帮助我们。”然而，竞选开支却来自他人的钱。时而合作时而对立的特朗普盟友埃隆·马斯克，与此同时，以其选举捐款的慷慨创下了纪录。
“I’m going to be making contributions to various campaigns and people that I think are good, Republicans that I think are good, people that I think are going to win, or can win, or are close to winning,” Trump told Washington Sun reporter Jasmine Wright in September after she asked about his MAGA Inc. super PAC operation. “I’m going to spend whatever amount of money necessary to try and help us.”Instead, campaign spending comes from others’ money. On-again, off-again Trump ally Elon Musk, meanwhile, has set records with his election-spending largesse.
在“让美国再次伟大公司”这家超级筹委会中，特朗普称其为“我控制的资金”，账上有数亿美元。本选举周期的主要个人捐赠者包括达拉斯独行侠队老板米里亚姆·阿德尔森、金融家杰夫·亚斯、女企业家黛安·亨德里克斯、管道大亨凯尔西·沃伦、马斯克以及加密货币投资人温克莱沃斯兄弟泰勒和卡梅伦。特朗普自己的名字却明显不在名单上。
At MAGA Inc., the super PAC filled with hundreds of millions of dollars that Trump says is “money I control,” top individual donors this election include Dallas Mavericks owner Miriam Adelson, financier Jeff Yass, businesswoman Diane Hendricks, pipeline magnate Kelcy Warren, Musk and the cryptocurrency-investing Winklevoss brothers, Tyler and Cameron. Trump’s own name is conspicuously missing from the list.
前联邦选举委员会主席特雷弗·波特（共和党人）和艾伦·温特劳布（民主党人）近日在《华盛顿邮报》联名评论文章中指出，特朗普声称他控制“让美国再次伟大公司”的资金，“与美国竞选财务法相悖”，该法律禁止在职公职人员指挥超级筹委会的行动。
Former FEC chairs Trevor Potter, Republican, and Ellen Weintraub, a Democrat, argued in a recent Washington Post op-ed that Trump’s assertion that he controls MAGA Inc.’s money “flies in the face of U.S. campaign-finance laws” that prohibit officeholders from directing the actions of super PACs.
白宫未回应关于特朗普为何在2026年选举期间未亲自进行政治捐款，以及他是否会在竞选最后时刻捐款的置评请求。
The White House did not respond to requests for comment about why Trump hasn’t personally made political donations during the 2026 election or whether he would in the race’s final hours.
MAGA Inc.发言人亚历克斯·普费弗在给《太阳报》的声明中说：“唐纳德·特朗普总统负责筹集数亿美元以支持共和党候选人。”特朗普在时间上对共和党确实慷慨，即使他在估计70亿美元身家上并非如此。
In a statement to The Sun, MAGA Inc. spokesperson Alex Pfeiffer said: “President Donald Trump is responsible for raising hundreds of millions of dollars in support of Republican candidates.”Trump has certainly been generous to Republicans with his time, if not with his estimated $7 billion.
自10月1日以来，他已举办了30多场线下竞选集会和政治活动，乘坐“空军一号”穿梭全国，造访了阿拉斯加、蒙大拿、内华达、得克萨斯、内布拉斯加、密西西比、佐治亚、南卡罗来纳及其他多个州。在社交媒体上，他频繁发帖表示支持志同道合的共和党人。在为其政治利益提供资金方面，特朗普过去曾言出必行。
He’s conducted more than 30 in-person election rallies and political events since Oct. 1, hopscotching the country in Air Force One and visiting Alaska, Montana, Nevada, Texas, Nebraska, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina and several other states. On social media, he posts frequently about supporting like-minded Republicans. When it comes to funding his political interests, Trump used to put his money where his mouth is.
2016年总统竞选初期，特朗普向其竞选团队投入了6600万美元个人资金，并经常以此自夸。
During the early months of his 2016 presidential run, Trump poured $66 million of his own cash into his campaign operation, and he’d frequently boast about it.
“我不需要任何人的钱。这很好。我不需要任何人的钱。我用我自己的钱……我不使用捐赠者的钱。我不在乎。我真的很有钱，”特朗普在2015年宣布竞选时说。
“I don’t need anybody’s money. It’s nice. I don’t need anybody’s money. I’m using my own money … I’m not using donors. I don’t care. I’m really rich,” Trump said during his campaign announcement in 2015.
几周后他宣称：“你知道我好的地方是什么吗？我不需要任何人的钱。”
“You know the nice part about me? I don’t need anybody’s money,” he declared weeks later.
“我正在自我资助我的竞选——投入我自己的钱，不受控制，”特朗普2016年在推特上发文。
“I am self-funding my campaign — putting up my own money, not controlled,” Trump tweeted in 2016.
但特朗普很快停止动用自己的储备金为自己的竞选提供资金。他最终也停止了向他人竞选活动捐款。今年，其他亿万富翁政治家使用个人财富的方式有所不同。
But Trump soon stopped dipping into his own reserves and self-funding his own campaigns. He eventually quit donating to others’ campaigns, too. Other billionaire politicians have used their personal fortunes differently this year.
伊利诺伊州州长J·B·普里茨克——2028年潜在总统候选人——正捐赠4000万美元助力民主党人在今年的中期选举中获胜。
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker — a potential 2028 presidential candidate — is donating $40 million to boost Democrats in this year’s midterms.
曾竞选2020年总统的前纽约市长迈克尔·布隆伯格已承诺为同一目标捐赠8000万美元。一些人对特朗普不愿花钱并不感到意外。
Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor who ran for president in 2020, has pledged $80 million toward the same goal. Some were unsurprised by Trump’s lack of spending.
“他的吝啬鬼记录由来已久。这完全在意料之中，”“爱国百万富翁”组织政府事务副总裁霍利·伍丁斯说，该组织是一个由主张经济公平的富裕人士组成的非党派团体。伍丁斯说：“特朗普在用别人的钱。”
“He has such a track record of being a cheapskate. Par for the course,” said Holli Woodings, vice president of government affairs for Patriotic Millionaires, a nonpartisan organization of wealthy individuals who advocate for an equitable economy. “Trump,” Woodings said, “is using other people’s money.”
