Don Jr. venture capital firm awarded and $620 million contract from the Pentagon - Financial Times

This is getting ridiculous already.

Vulcan Elements, a small rare earths start-up, will receive the funds as part of a larger deal from the Defense Department. This $620 million loan is the largest made by the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital.

This is a sole source contract since only Junior has the depth and breadth of experience to handle a deal of this magnitude. Ahem. Hard to believe, but Junior is even more stupid (stupider?) than his father - and he does a lot more cocaine. How are these horrible incompetent people being allowed to steal the wealth of our country with absolutely no pushback?
