Eric Trump’s robotics company reportedly secured a $24 million deal with the Pentagon, with Foundation Future Industries set to deliver its Phantom MK1 humanoid robots for the U.S. military.
If the president’s son receiving millions for his tech startup from the government seems like a conflict of interest, Seth Meyers agrees.
During his “A Closer Look” segment on Late Night, the host examined Trump’s deal, where he serves as chief strategy advisor.
“Now, for anyone surprised that Eric Trump’s title is ‘chief strategy advisor,’ I can explain it was too hard to fit ‘dipshit who just happens to be the president’s son’ on the business card,” Meyers said.
“So, the president’s family is dining at the taxpayer trough,” Meyers added. “Meanwhile, the rest of us are getting hit with price hikes and supply shortages due to Trump’s war with Iran.”
He’s not wrong.
