The president’s eldest son said through a spokesperson that he wasn’t involved. The Pentagon said Trump Jr. played no role in the record-setting deal. And the startup’s founder told reporters that his company, Vulcan Elements, received no political favoritism.

Hi, Pentagon here 🙂…no problem - what can you make? We need lotsa missiles atm 👍.
I make novelty chemical, dihydrogen monoxide. You can use it for rocket fuel.
All the drones. And the cyber! You’ve heard of the cyber, right? In fact, we’ve developed a drone that only kills the bad people. It’s amazing. Perhaps you’ve seen their work in Gaza?
