Trump Model Management, later shortened to T Management, was a New York City-based modeling agency founded by Donald Trump as T Models in 1999. It was closed by Trump in April 2017, shortly after he became U.S. president.[1][2]
While the agency had a respectable "legends" division, its new talent division never launched the career of a new model,[3] and was considered to be an inconsequential agency when it folded.[4]

In October 2014, Trump Model Management was sued by model Alexia Palmer. Palmer alleged that 80% of her wages were taken away from her as "expenses" and that she had been paid less than $4000 over a two-year period. The lawsuit was dismissed in March 2016.[5]
In July 2015, it was reported that Trump Model Management and Trump Management Group LLC combined had requested US visas for almost 250 international fashion models.[6]
In August 2016, former Trump models alleged that they had worked for the agency without the company having obtained proper work visas on their behalf.[7][8][9]
In September 2016, Senator Barbara Boxer called on United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to investigate the allegations.[10]
In 2016 and early 2017, the company saw senior staff departing to start new agencies, and models announcing departures from the company, with some citing concerns about Trump's politics.[3]
In April 2017, after Trump was inaugurated as U.S president, it was announced that the agency would be closed down.[11][12]
