Donald Trump Jr. and his father's role in politics
Journalists draw attention to the fact that the son of the Republican leader played an active role in his father's last presidential campaign.
What is important to understand is that he was the one who proposed the candidacy of JD Vance for the position of vice president.
As you know, Donald Trump agreed to this proposal, despite a flurry of criticism in his direction regarding the adoption of this decision.
Moreover, the businessman helped check the future appointees of the administration "for loyalty to the elected president."
Instead of a position in the presidential administration, Donald Trump Jr. will join the venture capital company 1789 Capital, which invests in conservative companies.
It is also worth noting that recently, Donald Trump Jr., together with his father and brothers Eric and Barron, started a cryptocurrency business — the company World Liberty Financial.
What is known about the attitude of Trump Jr. to Ukraine
Recently, a loud scandal broke out when the son of the new US president tried to cynically mock Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
In his new post on his Instagram page, he ironically hinted that Ukraine will "lose aid" in a month.
Donald Trump Jr. released a black and white video showing Volodymyr Zelensky pouring dollars.
POV (point of view — ed.): you have 38 days left before you lose your benefits, the video says.
The camera is focused on the face of Volodymyr Zelenskyi, after which the video turns black and white, and dollar bills fall in front of the Ukrainian president.
