Donald Trump Jr.'s New Job Isn't In The White House, But It'll Benefit His Dad From The Outside

The president-elect's son is joining a venture capital firm that invests in businesses with a conservative worldview, such as Tucker Carlson’s startup.
Donald Trump Jr. is joining a venture capital firm with an eye on investing in conservative companies rather than taking up a role in his father’s White House administration, according to multiple reports.
The New York Times first reported that Trump Jr. is joining 1789 Capital, a firm whose portfolio includes Tucker Carlson’s media startup.
Reuters said 1789 Capital is based in Palm Beach, Florida, which is also home to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago private club and residence, and it’s named after the year the Bill of Rights was drafted.
The company is owned by entrepreneur Chris Buskirk, financier and Trump donor Omeed Malik and powerful conservative donor Rebekah Mercer.
Trump Jr. will be a partner at the firm, which invests in companies that champion a right-wing worldview. On its website, the business states it is “anti-ESG,” or investments in environmental, social and governance issues that critics would doubtless describe as “woke.”
