Since his father’s victory in the 2024 presidential elections, Donald Trump, the son, has become one of the most prominent defenders of the vision of “making America great again”, as he invested in sectors that reflect the policies of the new administration, according to Financial Times.
The report, prepared by Alex Rogers, James Fontanella Khan, and Paul Karwana Gallizia, stated that Trump, the son, has joined since the elections into a small group of investors who support his father’s economic agenda, as he pumped money in companies active in the fields of financing, media, medicines, weapons, encrypted currencies, bets, alcohol, benefiting from the economic wave of nationalism It was strengthened by the 47th President of the United States.
Investments in the face of “diversity and environmental governance”
The report pointed out that Trump, the son, focuses his investments on companies that oppose the principles of diversity, equality and environmental governance, which his father’s administration considers a burden on entrepreneurship and economic growth.
Contrary to the first period of Trump, Donald Jr. and his brothers move away from government positions, allowing them to work more freely, while at the same time they benefit from their direct proximity to the president.
Media and political influence
Trump is the most political active son among Trump’s sons, as he had a prominent role in supporting the choice of JD Vans as Vice President. It also promotes the vision of “America first” through its podcast “Trigard”, which is broadcast on the “Ramble” platform, which is known as a conservative alternative to YouTube.
Since the elections, the financial affairs of the Trump family have become more related to each other. The President appointed his older son a single guardian of the Trump Media and Technology Group, giving him control of a 3.2 billion dollar stake in the parent company of the “Truth Social” platform.
Financial gains and accusations of favoritism
Trump, the son, won shares of more than 779 thousand dollars, in addition to fees worth 33 thousand and 900 dollars for his membership in the Trump Media and Technology Group in 2024.
The company recently agreed to expansion plans, including the launch of a circulating indicators associated with bitcoin, in addition to plans to integrate and acquire other companies.
Despite these moves, the group’s shares recorded a 50% decrease during the past year, in light of the continued operational losses, according to a disclosure provided by the company to the Securities Authority.
Investments in startups and financial technology
The technology, weapons and cryptocurrencies sector is one of the most prominent areas that Trump focuses on Trump, as he has become a counselor or a member of the board of directors in 3 companies listed on the American Stock Exchange between November 2024 and February 2025, namely:
- Anjawal Machens: Aircraft Manufacturing Company.
- Bablack Square: an electronic market with conservative tendencies.
- Dominary Holdings: Financial Technology Company.
Trump, the son, made huge gains, as the price of “Anjawal Machens” increased dramatically after joining its board of directors, and the value of his shares in “Dominari” increased to more than 7 million dollars after his appointment to its consultative council, which prompted the share price to rise by 74% within two days.
A tangled relationship with encrypted currencies
The Financial Times notes that Trump, the son, faces accusations of profit from the wave of encrypted currencies, as he promoted last year to the “World Liberty Financial” platform with his father and brothers, a platform supported by Chinese billionaire Justin Sun, accused of fraud cases by the US Securities Authority.
Trump, the son, launched a project for cryptocurrencies a few days before the inauguration of his father, achieving at least 350 million dollars within 3 weeks, which raised concerns about conflicting interests.
New partnerships in the business sector
In the aftermath of the elections, Trump, the son, became a partner in 1789 Capital, an investment company in developing stocks that focuses on companies that avoid environmental standards, society and governance, led by the former CEO of Bank of America, Omid Malik.
After joining, Trump, the son, obtained a position on the board of directors of the “Plank RX” company for online pharmaceutical services, and he also became an online weapons consultant “Ghorab Gan”.
These moves indicate that Trump, the son, is not just a political heir, but rather a prominent economic player, taking advantage of the national economic agenda adopted by his father. However, criticism about conflicting interests, and huge gains from investments related to management policies raises questions about the transparency of these activities.
