Emoluments Clause @Emolclause#BREAKING: Psaki: Back when Joe Biden was in office, every MAGA talking head was OBSESSED with the idea that the son of a president might be profiting off of the presidency. They were shocked, they were incensed, they were pearl-clutching until they broke those pearls. They demanded accountability Lets fast forward to today, shall we? Thats right. In the middle of a war that the president started, his adult son is the chief strategy advisor of a company that just so happens to be winning multi million dollar Pentagon contracts.

Bartiromo devoted more than 10 minutes of her program to a fawning joint interview with Foundation Future Industries CEO Sankaet Pathak and Eric Trump, the companys chief strategy adviser.
After Bartiromo congratulated the pair on winning a $24 million Defense Department contract to test its Phantom robot for military applications, she gave them a platform to talk up their product, as well as what Bartiromo described as these incredible goals that you've got, including to build life-sustaining technology on Earth and beyond.
Bartiromo was a key player in Foxs fixation on Hunter Biden, regularly hosting Republican members of Congress like House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) to promote their overwrought investigations. The sum total of the money Comer tracked from international business sources to the Bidens and their associates itself an inflated figure that includes money going to non-family members was $20 million, less than the single Pentagon contract Erics company received.

Elizabeth Warren sounds alarm on Eric Trump-linked company getting Pentagon deal: 'Corruption in plain sight'
"Eric Trump went on FOX to brag about winning ANOTHER multimillion-dollar contract from the Trump administration. I've been sounding the alarm and pushing for answers. Is the Pentagon just a cash machine for Trump's kids now? This looks like corruption in plain sight," Warren tweeted.
Donald Trump Jr.'s 1789 Capital is an investor in Vulcan Elements, a rare earth company that received a $620 million Pentagon loan. The loan helped boost the value of the company and Trump's stake, as reported by the Financial Times.
Both oldest Trump sons are also involved with Florida drone company PowerUps, which is hoping to land military contracts, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
Other publicly traded companies with ties to one or more of the Trump sons include Dominari Holdings DOMH, New America Acquisition I Corp NWAX, PSQ Holdings PSQ, GrabAGun Digital Holdings PEW and Trump Media & Technology Group DJT.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt previously told Benzinga there are no conflicts of interest when it comes to investments made by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, when asked about Trump Mobile.

(13,535 posts)The NYT has an article today about the Trump administration issuing a contract to repair two fountains. The Biden admin had estimated $3.3 million for the work, but the Trumpies increased that amount at least twice so we taxpayers are paying over $17 million. I'm sure a lot of that money went into Trump's private bank account somewhere not in the US. It's the same company building his colossal ballroom. I'm sure he'll pocket his share of that huge cost as a kickback.
