The debutante socialite of Palm Beach DJTJ married is the daughter of a very very wealthy banker (deceased) that has many worldwide ties. Bettina accepted the gifts.

Wow I had no idea Don Jr was a politician.



I seriously thought Don, Jr. might get his father's endorsement. Not anymore. Not because President Trump wouldn't want Don, Jr. to succeed him, but because Don, Jr. isn't interested.

Eric Trump had never heard of this "good friend" of Don Jr.'s who paid for the wedding. There were 50 guests at the wedding. 49 can be seen in photos. The only guest missing? The Russian who paid for the wedding.

If the Dems win the House, Don Jr. will be the subject of almost daily investigations. No punishment will come of it. He will successfully ignore Congressional subpoenas. But he's clearly not interested in running for president.

Don Jr.'s net worth increased by 500% (50 to 300 million) in his father's first year of the second term. I think Don Jr. will be allright without being president.

1). Link?
2). I got a $700 margarita maker from a guest that didn’t show up to my wedding.

He married a millionaire. If you claim it’s from other sources post them. All these insinuations without actual allegations. Make your claim and back it up.

Do you imagine one day that you will finally catch me in making things up?

Obviously the Russian wasn't actually a close friend of DJ's....

-from OP's article:
A spokesperson for Eric said in a statement he 'has absolutely no clue who this person is, nor has he ever heard his name.'

As for the source of Don, Jr.'s wealth, the increase was just from the first year of Trump 2.0. The 500% increase came before this marriage. Who knows how much he has made since then.

I doubt Don Jr.'s wealth spurt is unethical. I'm sure it's not illegal. I am just saying that if the Dems win the House, there will be non-stop (meaningless...the DOJ won't enforce subpoenas) investigations.

I remembered the 500% figure from Forbes. Here's the ChatGPT summary if you're interested....

########

If by “the first year” you mean January 20, 2025 through January 19, 2026, the best published estimate I can find is that Donald Trump Jr.’s net worth increased from roughly $50 million to about $300 million — an increase of approximately $250 million, or about 500%.

Forbes published its detailed estimate in December 2025, describing it as a six-fold increase in about one year. ?
Forbes

The important caveat
That $250 million is an estimated increase in wealth, not $250 million of cash income. Forbes was valuing Don Jr.'s interests in businesses and investments, including his rapidly expanding involvement with 1789 Capital and cryptocurrency-related ventures.

Forbes' earlier September 2025 analysis had already concluded that the Trump sons' fortunes had risen dramatically since their father's election.

There is also a striking development behind this: 1789 Capital's assets under management reportedly grew from about $150 million in 2024 to $2.7 billion by the end of 2025 and $3.5 billion by May 2026, after Don Jr. joined the firm.

So, on the narrow question:
Estimated Don Jr. wealth at start: ~$50 million
Estimated wealth near end of first year: ~$300 million
Estimated increase: ~$250 million
Percentage increase: ~500%

If you'd like, I can break down **where that $250 million increase came from — 1789 Capital, Trump Media/crypto, real estate, etc. — and distinguish actual realized income from paper appreciation.**

Michelle Obama called Harvey Wenstein her dear friend and great man at a function he no doubt ponied up for.

We all know this is only legal if he deposited it into dad’s bank account or a shell LLC, or if it’s a Porsche or If they paid for the wedding ring.

Why Beta? I was just pointing out that Don Jr. clearly isn't running for President AND the Dems are going to get lots of headlines for investigating DJ if they win the House.

What false information do you think I have posted? Of course you can't answer that because you are a liar.

But YOU didn’t. And now you want to call out hypocrites over what is almost certainly number 857,041 in the long line of fake Trump Russia stories.
