Donald Trumps sons could be in for a payday over their fathers planned $1 billion-plus military equipment purchases.
Donald Jr. and Eric Trump are investors in a new drone company targeting Pentagon contracts, with plans to go public on the Nasdaq, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Trump administration has made domestic drone supply a national security priority, banning new models of Chinese droneswhich had long dominated the consumer and commercial marketsand launching the Pentagons Drone Dominance initiative.
The program is earmarked to spend $1.1 billion procuring hundreds of thousands of American-made systems by 2027. That has opened a major commercial window in a sector that has historically been fragmented and starved of defense contracts.

(2,505 posts)For a supposedly short-term "excursion," no one starts a company producing a new line of high technology military equipment only to use outside the US.
DHS has already been using drones to surveil peaceful protesters, identifying them with DOGE/Palantir -constructed facial rec cameras and detailed databases.
These will be used on/over US soil, against citizens. And if they are classified as a "national security" item, I bet the information about purchases and use will not be available to us.

(19,136 posts)They spend their whole life figuring out how to scam people to grab more money for themselves. Money they dont need and can never spend. Their sense of worth is based on how big a number they can write in their bank accounts. It doesnt provide anything for anyone, not even themselves because they already have more than enough to do anything they want. Its just bragging rights among their cronies. They feel proud to be able to destroy lives just for stupid bragging rights.
