Donald Trumps sons could be in for a payday over their fathers planned $1 billion-plus military equipment purchases.
Donald Jr. and Eric Trump are investors in a new drone company targeting Pentagon contracts, with plans to go public on the Nasdaq, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The Trump administration has made domestic drone supply a national security priority, banning new models of Chinese droneswhich had long dominated the consumer and commercial marketsand launching the Pentagons Drone Dominance initiative.
The program is earmarked to spend $1.1 billion procuring hundreds of thousands of American-made systems by 2027. That has opened a major commercial window in a sector that has historically been fragmented and starved of defense contracts.

(257 posts)There once was a plan from the Hill,
To buy drones by the hundred-thousand still.
With a billion to spend,
The Pentagon penned
A program to boost domestic skill.
Two sons of a president bold
Found a startup in drones to behold.
If contracts align,
And markets feel fine,
Their Nasdaq debut might turn gold.
For years Chinese drones filled the sky,
Cheap cameras that businesses buy.
But bans changed the game,
Securitys aim
Now local manufacturers try.
The Pentagons push came with might,
Drone Dominance set in its sight.
With billions in play,
New firms race the fray,
To build fleets that buzz into flight.
A market once fractured and thin
Now beckons investors to spin.
If contracts appear,
The profits draw near
And Trumps sons may happily grin.

(19,096 posts)They spend their whole life figuring out how to scam people to grab more money for themselves. Money they dont need and can never spend. Their sense of worth is based on how big a number they can write in their bank accounts. It doesnt provide anything for anyone, not even themselves because they already have more than enough to do anything they want. Its just bragging rights among their cronies. They feel proud to be able to destroy lives just for stupid bragging rights.
