Bloomberg reports that Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, sons of former President Donald Trump, have invested in a new drone company called Aerovironment Inc.
The company is attempting to secure contracts with the Pentagon for its drones, which are designed for surveillance missions.
Aerovironment's stock price has surged since news broke about their connection to the Trump family. It remains unclear how much of a stake each brother holds in the company.
This development comes at an interesting time as tensions between the US and China escalate, with both sides accused of using drones for military purposes. The potential sale could be seen as a way for the US to gain more control over its airspace while also supporting American businesses.
"We’re not even close yet… this whole thing reeks of crony capitalism. The Trump sons investing in drone companies targeting Pentagon sales? It’s like they’re trying to create their own private army, funded by the government. I mean, what’s next - Eric and Donald Jr. taking over General Dynamics too?
And don’t even get me started on how this will benefit only a select few while leaving everyone else behind. The drone industry is already riddled with corruption and greed; now we’re adding family ties to the mix? It’s like they’re trying to grease every palm in Washington.
Can anyone explain why these guys think they deserve special treatment just because of their dad’s last name?"
"As I see it, this whole situation with Trump Jr. and Eric investing in a drone company targeting Pentagon sales is just another example of how our government continues to prioritize corporate interests over people’s well-being. It’s like they’re trying to create an empire for themselves while the rest of us are left struggling to make ends meet.
And don’t even get me started on the so-called ‘surge’ in Aerovironment’s stock price since news broke about their connection to the Trump family. That just goes to show how corrupt our system is - they’re literally profiting off of our fear and uncertainty.
But what really gets my blood boiling is that we’re being sold this narrative that these drones are necessary for national security, when in reality they’re just a way for big
“I’m not saying it’s impossible to believe that Aerovironment Inc. has a chance at securing Pentagon contracts with Trump Jr. and Eric on board. But let me tell you - I’ve seen this playbook before, where family connections lead to favorable treatment in government procurement processes. It smells fishy to me.” - SentinalPrime (
