If this doesn't bother you, nothing will. The president's son invested in war drones and his father started a war.The timeline is straightforward. On February 17, 2026, Eric Trump was named as a strategic investor in the $1.5 billion merger between XTEND, an Israeli AI drone company, and JFB Construction Holdings. The deal was filed with the SEC and designed to take XTEND public on Nasdaq. Eleven days later, on February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran.The war became the largest use of one-way attack drones in U.S. military history. XTEND was already part of the Pentagon's Drone Dominance Program, a $1.1 billion initiative to rapidly field low-cost attack drones at scale. The company markets its products as "low cost per kill" and had secured multimillion-dollar Pentagon contracts before the war started.Ethics experts at the Campaign Legal Center said it is "hard to trust the integrity" of contract decisions when the bidding companies are connected to the president's family.
