I'm almost cool with it if we're honest. Just stop lying about fentanyl, narco terrorists, democracy, or whatever.

Trump Jr. is currently invested in rare earth companies while his dad is president. Those companies are getting $735M in government contracts. And we’re conducting military operations in countries with the exact minerals those companies need.
Timeline:
- Nov 2024: Trump Jr. joins 1789 Capital, helps screen Pentagon officials
- Aug 2025: 1789 invests in Vulcan Elements (rare earth magnets)
- Nov 2025: Vulcan gets $620M Pentagon contract
- Dec 2025: Military strikes in Venezuela and Nigeria (both rare earth-rich)

So yeah, if we’re doing resource wars, fine, but this isn’t America securing resources for America. This is using American military force to secure resources that directly enrich the president’s family.

That’s not geopolitics. That’s just a shakedown with extra steps.

At minimum, shouldn’t there be a rule that says “maybe the president’s son shouldn’t invest in defense contractors while dad is in office using military force in mineral-rich countries”?

Is there literally anything that’s not a conspiracy that reaches every corner of the planet? You know what they say: if everything’s a conspiracy, then nothing’s a conspiracy. I get it, sometimes (or oftentimes for some, and I’m not intending to refer specifically to present company) sometimes a thought puzzle comes together so nicely and perfectly that it would seem impossible to not be true, and I do agree sometimes it might seem well beyond mere coincidence.

But the thing is, if you combine your sensical theory with the literally countless other such theories, on a very wide range of differing subjects, and we’re talking just here on this board for starters, we’re talking about an endless supply of movie scripts of which Hollywood would be envious - particularly when you consider that they mostly revolve around one single person (and I guess his family in some instances). Hell I can’t even drop my own because the market’s already flooded here.

All due respect, and I mean that. And I fully acknowledge this is merely my opinion and I don’t portend to suggest that my opinion(s) are superior to anyone else’s (unlike some, or even many, amongst us).

**And yes, I acknowledge that this is a stupefyingly long post.

call it a conspiracy theory or a working theory, but everything I posted there is a fact so it is a little suspicious looking in my opinion. I’m just saying, keep rare earth minerals in mind as you try to make sense of the moves of this administration.

OP seems to be pushing nothing but leftwing agitprop. I'd ignore to those who see him posting and not reply to the points. Just call him a commie and be done.

For the 245th time, Trump bombed a country for no reason, but he made the sycophants believe it was TOTALLY NECESSARY. Do some homework on the JCPOA.
no reason? He stated his reason over and over and over- it is retribution for attacking Christians for the sake of being Christian. Now I know you liberals think it is perfectly fine to attack Christians or white people. The idea of bombing a black or brown person on behalf of Christians is evil to you. But not to us.

at some point skunk you need to realize that your post aren't getting any traction on this site and make you increasingly appear unhinged. maybe reddit or the democrat underground would be more fertile ground for your ruminations.

thank you for your attention to this matter!
