Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.
The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.
The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.
Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.
The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.
The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.
This is your tax money.
It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.
We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

@FreedomFinLB I am buying a house next month. I currently have money invested in some CC etfs that I will be utilizing to supplement our mortgage payment.
“i don’t know why the president of the united states behaves like this towards his allies: it is not the first time. i can only say it is disappointing that he does not show the same determination with the enemies of the west and of the united states, whose leaders he instead treats with far greater indulgence.”

@DividendEng73 I’ve recently been consolidating positions as well. Need to make decisions that increase the chances of hitting your ultimate goals. $UNP dividend growth has slowed the past couple years. Wouldnt fit in my portfolio’s criteria either.
@savematchgrow@POTUS@BillAckman What percentage of Americans are making under $35,000? The match is completely phased out for single filers making over $35k and married couples making over $70k seems like not many people will get the match that you’re touting as this great benefit.
@WSJ Wouldn’t this force American companies to build cars with better features and sell at reduced price to compete? Isn’t that what consumers want? If they can’t compete why are we protecting them.
@DelbridgeMark1@LyftLady11@JuddLegum Read your evidence; They diluted any enrichment to 3.5%. They were following the JPOA agreement under Obama until Trump ripped up the agreement. Now he not only has given Iran motivations for a nuclear weapon but has given them the revenue stream to do it. Absolute abject failure
‘We can’t invest in America because we’re fighting wars’ is literally the opposite of what he ran on.
Biggest scam in modern political history, hands down.
