Resourceful!

Whether legal or not, two sons profiting from drone companies while their father wages a drone war is a terrible look. Eric invested in XTEND, an Israeli AI drone company, as part of a $1.5 billion merger announced on February 17, 2026. Donald Jr. sits on the advisory board of Unusual Machines, which also invested in the deal. Both brothers are additionally investors in Powerus, a new drone manufacturer planning to go public. XTEND was selected for the Pentagon's Drone Dominance Program, which plans to spend $1.1 billion on drones by 2027. The company markets its weapons as "low cost per kill" and holds multimillion-dollar DOD contracts. Eleven days after the investment was announced, the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran in the largest use of attack drones in U.S. military history. Ethics experts say the investments create a clear appearance of profiting from the presidency.
