Background<\/h3>\n

The Trump Organization is an American privately owned international conglomerate based in Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It serves as the holding company for all of the business ventures of Donald Trump, the current President of the United States.<\/p>\n

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is an independent agency of the United States government, established in 1914 by the Federal Trade Commission Act. Its principal mission is the promotion of consumer protection and the elimination and prevention of anticompetitive business practices, such as coercive monopoly.<\/p>\n

Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) you are allowed to request complaints against corporate entities, received by the FTC from consumers.<\/p>\n

In early September of 2017, I requested all complaints received by the FTC regarding the Trump Organization. Below, you will find the complaints dated from January 1, 2010 through September of 2017.<\/p>\n
