America's First Son Cashing In On Dad's Presidency

edited May 18 in Off-Topic
"Don Jr.'s involvement in 1789 bears an eerie resemblance to what Trump blasted Hunter Biden for doing: trading on his father's name to win lucrative business deals with countries like Ukraine and China. During the 2020 campaign, Don Jr. offered to debate Biden, insisting that Hunter's nepotism far outstripped his own.
'I'm not going to say I haven't benefited from my father's last name, just like Hunter Biden did,' Don Jr. told Axios.
'That'd be foolish to say that. But I haven't benefited from my father's taxpayer-funded office.'"


"It's not just legal experts who have concerns about the money flowing to Don Jr.
One veteran Wall Street investor, who has personally reviewed 1789's deals,
says they enable the president's son to profit from the administration's actions,
even if no contractors are given preferential treatment."


"Whatever the legality of 1789's investments, it appears the president's eldest son
stands to profit handsomely from the federal contracts his father's administration is handing out.
Even if there's no pro quo involved, there's still plenty of quid."
