Trump, Lutnick’s sons stand to gain big profits from billion-dollar mining deal
But it's ok guise, Eric is merely a passive investor.....

The sons of President Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stand to see a big windfall after businesses tied to the families helped secure a $1.6 billion mining deal in Kazakhstan, according to a new report.
After Trump and Lutnick closed a deal for an American company called Kaz Resources to mine one of the world’s largest untapped reserves of tungsten last November, records indicate that firms tied to their sons saw financial gain from the contract, the New York Times reported.
Dominari Securities — which is housed at Trump Tower in New York and partly owned by the president’s two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — had joined other investors to take a 20% stake in a company related to the project.
But it's ok guise, Eric is merely a passive investor.....

The Trump brothers have said they were not involved in the specifics of the deal, with Eric writing that he has always remained a “passive investor,” the Times reported.

Question..
How did the Trump Organization make billions before Donald Trump was President?
After he became President did people expect the Trump organization to just close and shut down?

I hate it, but it’s par for the course for every politician. It is something that I wish were illegal and well-enforced, but it’s not and never will be.

This…because everyone knows that there is a natural business evolution of real estate, Trump Steaks, Trump University to cryptocurrency to tungsten mining to military drone technology.
Edit to add: personally, I don’t really care provided that all ventures and transactions are legal and do not expose a politician to blackmail etc. I just find the crawfishing / hypocrisy of this board Intersting.

Find the illegalities in this and then maybe you would have a point. Are they legitimate businessmen that have a history in various businesses around the world? Have the proper channels been adhered too? Has payoffs been made? Is there a chance things go bad in a country known for people losing all their investments? Let us know how things shake out

I don’t care.
It’s when people, who have never been in business outside the gov’t, make millions. That’s when I’m pissed.

Kinda makes "I will take no salary" Trump a moot point doesn't it.

Democrat presidents see a much higher exponential growth in financial worth than Republicans do.
The last three Republican nominees already had established fortunes from businesses they ran before running.
The Clintons expanded their wealth by 9000x. Obama added 5300x.

Yep but if they are already a billionaire then they are free to use the office to make billions more.

I'm not Ok with people that have no rational explanation for their wealth getting filthy rich "serving" the people on a gov salary. I am not surprised when people that have shown for decades they generate wealth continue to do so. Your TDS has you equating these two sets of people. You are a dumbass
Posted on 6/30/26 at 9:02 am to frogtown
No, not at all. Were you upset at the 1 billion plus drop in Trump’s net worth in first term ? Has any of these numerous implications in Trump’s actions shown to be true? Is this Trump investing or his wealthy sons?

World Liberty Financial doesn’t happen without Trump running for office.

Don’t be naive.
Politicians grift.
It’s the game, and it’s what it is.
However, people like Biden/obama/clinton/sanders, who have been in the govt their entire lives and are worth multiple millions of dollars, ask why? How?
Trump was a billionaire before. And he’ll be a billionaire after.
