It's a lot more than 200% if you look into the finances. Trump's sons have gone from millionaires to almost billionaires, thanks to all the government contracts they've been awarded.
Don Jr.'s investment firm posts a 200% return:
Jr. leads 1789 Capital, which has repeatedly bought shares in private companies before they've gone public, "often by leveraging their political and business connections to secure a stake."
Many of those companies have major federal contracts.

Donald Trump Jr.’s Investment Firm Posts Staggering Returns of 200%
The fledgling firm, run by the president’s oldest son and his partner Omeed Malik, has made investments in A.I. and defense technology that have tripled in value in just months.

INTIMIDATION FAILED
The FBI showed up at reporters’ homes. During dinner. Demanding they reveal confidential sources.
Not because the story was false. Because it embarrassed Trump.
Now the DOJ is backing down and withdrawing the subpoenas after getting hammered in court.

Any jury would see this as murder; there is no doubt. Multiple videos show that Kristi Noem and DHS are lying. Pretti did not wield a gun. He did not threaten anyone. He held a camera, then put himself between two women and an enraged federal agent. 31 seconds later he was shot and dying. 5/

As promised, here is a multi-camera timeline, with sources and screenshots. Other people have drawn the same conclusions - that it was murder, that Pretti's shooter saw his gun taken - but this document can serve as a general reference. 2/

Happy Monday lovely phone family. If you're lucky enough to have the bank holiday off, I hope you're doing something nice. If you're working, thank you as always for keeping things running. I hope you get to rest later, and it's not too busy or stressful.
Have a great day ☀️

I think it’s so interesting how even when there are “flaws” in a realistic painting, the brain seems to override them with how we know the object “should” look from memory. A reminder that we see things through our own lens of experience, not necessarily the reality that is.
