from Brett Breaks Things
Companies are learning the rules of Trump's Washington: grease the right palms, invest alongside the family and stay in the administration's good graces—or risk being shut out. Today, we examine how Trump's sons are cashing in on defense technology, how the government is taking stakes in private companies and how the UAE secured coveted AI chips after backing the U.S. war in Iran. Then, Trump returns to prime-time television to revive his 2020 election claims and target voting machines.
