Trump's sons seek to profit off his warmongering ways
As President Donald Trump saber-rattles and threatens military incursions around the world, his sons are trying to cash in on the war economy.
Donald Trump Jr.’s investments in military manufacturers, including companies that develop drones and have been given large contracts from his father’s administration, have previously been reported on. And a new report in The Wall Street Journal, focused on Eric Trump, offers an even clearer window into the family’s shameless self-enrichment.
Specifically, the Journal reported that Eric Trump is investing in an Israeli drone company that has developed weapons used against Palestinians in Israel’s deadly yearslong bombardment of Gaza.
According to the Journal:
The president’s son is investing in the Israeli drone maker Xtend as part of a $1.5 billion deal to take the company public through a merger with a small Florida construction company.
Battle-tested during Israeli operations in Gaza in recent years, Xtend markets some of its drones as “low cost per kill” munitions that align with U.S. defense directives to help wage modern warfare. The company, which opened a facility in Florida, said it has already secured a multimillion-dollar Pentagon contract and is part of a continuing Defense Department competition for new suppliers.
The Journal reported that Donald Trump Jr. is involved in the deal as well, because a drone company he invests in is investing in Xtend.

And why would this surprise anyone? The junior sleazebangs are just emulating the senior one. We need to eliminate the whole lot of them.
