While Donald Trump Jr. is backing American businesses and working to reshape the future of venture capital, the left-wing media is once again doing what it does best: smearing the Trump name in a desperate bid to stay relevant.
Their latest target: 1789 Capital, a bold new investment firm founded by Omeed Malik and joined this year by Trump Jr. Their crime? Deploying private capital into American ventures without asking for a dime of public money.
That’s it. That’s the story.
But that hasn’t stopped Business Insider from running a laughably thin piece suggesting, without evidence, that Trump Jr.’s very existence in the investment world is somehow unethical. Not because of what he’s done, but because of who his father is.
This isn’t journalism. It’s a projection disguised as reporting.
From a spokesman for Donald Trump Jr.: “Comparing a lifelong businessman like Don Jr. joining a venture capital firm that invests in minority positions in American companies to Hunter Biden deciding to become a businessman upon his father’s election, sitting on foreign boards and selling access to his dad’s office is utterly laughable, even for an openly leftwing and dishonest publication like Business Insider.”
At the center of this media-manufactured controversy is 1789 Capital, a venture firm unapologetically committed to American values. Led by CEO Omeed Malik, the firm has invested in high-growth sectors like AI, aerospace, and energy, not because they’re trendy, but because they’re vital to national strength and independence.
“We’re not chasing ESG ratings or lobbying for state subsidies,” Malik said. “We’re putting our money behind builders, Americans who are creating real value and defending the cultural and economic foundations of this country.”
1789 Capital isn’t a political PAC. It’s not laundering influence. It’s not cutting shady foreign deals. Yet Business Insider would rather cast shadows than report facts. They offer no whistleblowers. No documents. No evidence of wrongdoing. Just speculation and narrative-driven guilt by association.
Their tactic is simple: mention the name “Trump” enough times and hope it triggers enough clicks and outrage to keep their ad revenue afloat. It’s not investigative reporting. It’s algorithmic activism.
And just for the record: Donald Trump Jr. is Hunter Biden if you subtract the sex trafficking, prostitution, illegal drug use, felony firearm possession, tax evasion, FCPA violations, FARA violations, and oh, the preemptive and retroactive presidential pardon.
While Don Jr. invests in American infrastructure and innovation, the media is investing in partisan deflection, trying to smear success instead of understanding it.
While the legacy media clings to political relevance with clickbait and conjecture, 1789 Capital is aligning money with mission and restoring something rare in modern finance: purpose.
This isn’t a scandal. It’s success. And the media can’t stand it.
