Article headlines like most of us just scan leads you to believe that Don Jr and Eric have a backroom deal to get contracts for their business worth billions...

Truth is Don Jr is a partner in a private equity group that has over 1000 employees and almost $4T under management. Whatever these govt contracts are they are not going to any direct compensation of the Trumps. They are just one of thousands of contracts in a private equity firms portfolio that I doubt that Don Jr even controls.

So yes he is making money as is everyone else in the firm but this is less than 0.2% of their holdings...

where are you getting this from?


the post was an X post. I opened it and read the whole post and it listed Don Jr as one of 6 partners in 1789 Capital. I googled 1789 Capital to find their website. This info posted on it.

Now do a thing that shows how much money the Trump's have had to pay for attorneys for fake lawsuits that the Democrats made up against their entire family in addition how much their security details now cost them every day

Anyone who thinks the scale of the Trump corruption (Saudis, Russian oligarchs, Crypto) is comparable to the alleged Hunter Biden case is being dishonest or willfully ignorant.

Yeah, they just reached $1 billion a year ago. So, if true, the amounts involved are significant.

Oh no, profit!

Dems invest in and profit from the defense industry as well. This has been de facto for many many years. I'm certain that neither abc nor any other leftist rag nor dim committee has unearthed any evidence of wrongdoing, but that sure doesn't stop the publicity to the intellect-suppressed. Read on!

Could you detail that. I am just not familiar with their stakes. You obviously are.

Headline reads-

“Trump sons' investments have won billions in Pentagon contracts since his election”

It’s very clear to me. What’s unclear to you?

Is it as sketchy and dot connecting as the hunter biden financial stories
Well the dot connecting the Hunter Biden financial stories were not/are not "sketchy" at all. The Burisma BS was off the charts, as were the VanGogh prices for Hunter's blow-art "paintings." Detail out concerns in this instance with the Trumps.

Dickhead!

I’ve been on the lookout for Hunter Biden paintings for over two years now with zero success. I pounced on this thread.

You're joking?

Look, I call a spade a spade in terms of investment and business.

Paul Pelosi, for example, made millions and millions off of trades which superficially appeared suspicious in timing. As it turns out, many were long term option positions set to expire if he did not cash them, and virtually impossible to corruptly time out given inside DC info. They were just good calls. Once one takes the time to actually look into the stuff, sometimes headlines are VERY misleading.

The same was true of Kelly Loeffler supposedly profiteering off of COVID by selling a ton in her portfolio in advance of the COVID market declines. A couple of tiny little details were pertinent. (1) The fund in question was a blind trust, and (2) the sells were "PutOptions" ... meaning they were options for others to short sell the sh*t out of her in a market crash. At the same time I was actually locking in profits pre-CV19-decline in my holdings, Loeffler's portfolio manager was doing the opposite. In contrast to the dude "gaming" off of insider info, it was the most blindly stupid approach, given CV19 market risks, I could imagine.

I literally know nothing about this Trump transaction. I've not looked at it. It may be nefarious as hell. But the headline you are infatuated with is ridiculous! Cite the PERSONAL benefits. Or cite the suspicious DOD bid process you thing the Trump brothers influenced, etc.

If the Trump brothers are breaking any laws while conducting business then they need to be prosecuted. BTW, how many Hunter masterpieces do you have hanging in your abode?
