By the Trump Family’s own words we have the best government big “donor” money and open corruption can buy.
**In Brief:**
* Thursday morning, Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo invited on both Eric Trump and Sankaet Pathak, co-founder and CEO of Foundation Future, a robotics firm that earlier this year **won a $24 million Pentagon contract** that will see its robots deployed in Ukraine, where they will be used to inspect and transport weapons.
* **Eric Trump and his brother, Donald Trump Jr., for months have been investing in companies with the goal of scoring lucrative Pentagon deals.**
* The *Wall Street Journal* reported in March that the Trump brothers invested in a Florida-based drone company called Powerus that “is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon” for drones that started when the Trump administration banned foreign-made drones and drone components from the US in December.
* **At least two companies backed by Trump Jr. have received contracts collectively worth hundreds of millions of dollars from the DOD.**
* Given this history, critics were quick to hurl accusations of corruption at the Trumps for **using their father’s presidency to personally enrich themselves.**
* “The president’s son, who was never involved in this industry before his father became president, should not be getting contracts from the Pentagon,” declared Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch. “This is absurd corruption that Republicans in Congress will say nothing about and do no oversight.”
* Phillips O’Brien, professor of strategic studies at the University of St. Andrews, [said](https://x.com/PhillipsPOBrien/status/2047299768066445593) the fact that the president’s son is openly boasting about getting multimillion-dollar deals from his father’s DOD shows “the US government is now one of, if not the most, corrupt governments on earth.”
But but Hunter…
The only redeeming thing about Eric Trump is the SNL skits and that’s because they’re not really him. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpRV-rMHJMQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpRV-rMHJMQ)

What a fucking loser.
Have we drained the swamp yet?
“*An underestimated rationale for Trump’s massive ramp-ups in immigration/military spending,” he wrote, “is to create a public slush fund for friends, families, donors.”*
Yes, exactly. I don’t know why it is “underestimated” however, since it is so *very obvious*. Each time Donald Trump announces a new threat against Iran, for example, it is a boost for prediction markets, many of which are backed by Eric Trump.
Corruption has never been done so openly.
“But Hunter Bidens laptop and Burisma lol”
When the Department of Justice and the Congress majority (a tiny majority) are in your father’s pocket, you can do whatever you want. There aren’t any repercussions.
What do you even do after this? Substantial amounts of wealth and intelligence from our country has been looted, and put into the hands of people who hate, and have tried to destroy this country. Paths have been built to extract unfathomable amounts of wealth without oversight — what happens when they are on their way out?
I guess we hope they just sit on it all, and hope its never used to fuck our shit up. Not sure what kind of future can even be built with this level of funding to an insurgency.
The “greatest economy in the world” is quickly becoming a train wreck of epic proportion.
Trumps are parasites. Karma will find them
If you tally the total amounts grifted off conference contracts, foreign “favors”, crypto scams, and funds misappropriation, the US is by far the most corrupt economy.
But but Biden
Chump was right when he warned us that America would become a 3rd-world country.
The only part he left out was that *HE* would be the cause of it
Their feeling is if the corruption is done in the open then it’s not corruption. It’s good business.
Zimbabwe lost the title to the US for sure!
Grifters gonna grift.
He had to rub it in. The republicans don’t even like corruption either!
Record and preserve Maga corruption evidence now. Don’t want this bullshite falling through the cracks.
That family is a shit stain on this planet.
Government contracts can be terminated and audits implemented.
The US doens’t even make it to the top 10, but it is the most corrupt it has ever been
in dollar amounts for sure.
Hunter Biden had a congressional hearing/deposition about RUMORS that he and Joe Biden did this exact thing…but here is PROOF that Trump is doing this and all we’re going to get is the Mouth of Sauron, KKKaroline, just going up to that podium to make up some crap about why this is ok and yell at the media for even calling this out. And they won’t do a damn thing to push back on her.
The Swamp^TM
The most frustrating part is that even though this is clearly corruption, nothing will ever happen to stop it
As Americans demanded
Prosecute them all, take the money, put them in prison.
edit: words
African governments enter the chat
No one is safe with these idiots in charge.
“is now…?” The Pentagon has trillions of dollars of unaccounted for for the past 3 decades. The US government is, and has been the most corrupt government on earth for decades.
The funny thing about maga and US Conservatives is that these awful people are robbing society for everyone to see and they still are on the side of the trump family.
Only $24 million? I would have gotten $25 million if my dad was the president. Lame.
I really hope the next admin finds some way to prosecute this. If not, ks there some way we could shift the burden to red states for this catastrophe?
>”When you go up and you interact with these robots, and they fist bump you and they high five you, they follow your commands.”
“It’s almost like having a real friend!”
It was always like this. The only thing that changed is they stopped giving fuck about hiding it.
Have they seen the Elon SpaceX stuff that’s coming to light?
24 million? Come on. Are we going to pretend that Hunter didn’t make 24 *thousand* dollars that one time? Both sides, bro.
I’m sure everyone will get blanket pardons, even his kids, so prison probably is off the table. However will the next non corrupt government use civil law to recover all this stolen money?
Step 1 neuter the president’s ability to pardon and step 2 investigate the whole family
Uhuh, yeah.. No shit sherlock!
What’cha gonna do about it!
In his wildest dreams, Hunter Biden never would’ve tried something like this.
This is the only way the low IQ members of the Epstein class know how to screw hard working Americans out of money.
All I can think about when I think of Eric Trump is [shumvel](https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/jp9yjs/shumvel/).
(and I know it’s fake, but like JD Vance and couches, it’s just so believable)
Conservatives love corruption when it’s their guys.
