Trump Jr.’s Drone Ventures Could Make a Killing Thanks to Dad’s Big Beautiful Budget

Last November, shortly after Donald Trump was reelected president, his son Donald Trump Jr. joined a venture capital firm with investments in several defense companies. Later that month, he was appointed the advisory board of Unusual Machines, a small, Florida-based drone company incorporated in Nevada.
Securities filings showed Trump Jr. owned 331,580 shares in the company, with only two top executives holding more.
...the stock doubled to about $10 a share.
...not his last chance to make big money off drones — and his efforts to do so may get a big helping hand from dad.

President Donald Trump’s military procurement policies, defense budget, and recently passed government budget, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, includes $1.4 billion dollars for small drone production — where Unusual Machines has been making big investments.
“There is no modern or historical comparison for what Don Jr. and the President are doing.”

With his father’s administration footing the bill for massive domestic drone expansion, good government watchdogs fear Trump Jr. could benefit financially, creating a conflict of interest, or at least the appearance of one — without anyone even finding out. The president’s family is not subject to the same financial disclosures that federal officials must make about their financial and business interests.

“Don Jr. is not subject to any disclosures,” said Donald Sherman, executive vice president and chief counsel at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW. “There’s just innumerable ways that this company with ties to Don Jr. can lobby the administration through him without having to report that information.” (Unusual Machines, the Trump Organization, and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.)

It's not just about the money.

It's also about surveillance of the American people.
