ABC is doing what ABC always does. They write a headline designed to make it sound like Trump’s sons pocketed billions, then bury the actual story underneath it.
The story does NOT say Don Jr. and Eric made billions. It says companies tied to a fund they invested in have been awarded or promised more than $6 billion in defense contracts. Those are two very different things, and ABC knows it.
Most of that figure is Anduril, which has been winning Pentagon contracts since 2019, which started UNDER BIDEN. In June 2025, 1789 Capital, where Don Jr. is one of six partners, invested in a $2.5 billion funding round. Owning a piece of a fund that owns a piece of a company is NOT the same as cashing a government check.
And that $6.6 billion deal they lead with? Much of it involves Anduril investing $3.7 billion of its own money into a Baltimore shipyard so America can build submarine parts again. That is NOT a wire transfer to the Trumps.
If Hunter Biden’s name were attached to this, ABC would spend 12 paragraphs explaining every possible nuance. Instead, they spent years pretending his Burisma checks and ridiculous paintings were none of our business.
These companies build drones, motors, and submarine parts. Hunter sold access and got high with prostitutes.
Try using the same standard for once.
