The apathetic detachment from American traditional humanitarian values was on full display with the revelation that Donald Trump’s Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross made during a public speech.
Ross attended an upscale conference hosted by the Miken Institute (a think-tank) in Beverly Hills, California wherein he recounted the night at Mar-a-Lago when the US military launched 59 tomahawk missiles at Syria.
Ross callously described the event as “after-dinner entertainment”. He went on to say: “The thing was, it didn’t cost the president anything to have that entertainment.”
This comment caused the room full of the “global elite” to go “wild”. It is worth noting that each of the audience members paid $12,500 to listen to Ross speak.
Just last month Eric Trump described the attack on Syria this way: “These guys are savages and I’m glad [my father] responded the way he responded.”
The attack itself did “proportional” damage to the air force base in Syria shared by the Assad regime and Russian forces assisting Assad. In other words, the air base is still fully operational with assaults launching from that location just 24 hours after Trump’s strike.
Reed Foster, writer for Jane’s, explained: “Although the strike will further weaken the overall air defense and ground attack capabilities of the (Syrian air force), it will not significantly diminish the ability of the Assad regime to conduct further chemical weapons attacks.”
In accord, former Syrian pilot Col. Hassan Hamade said of the strike : “The bombardment of Shayrat will not have a major effect on military operations of the regime.”
Following Donald Trump’s attack on Syria via 59 Tomahawk missiles, Raytheon, the company that produces the weapons at just over $1 million a pop, saw a small surge in their stocks at the end of last week; adding more than $1 billion dollars to Raytheon’s capitalization.
In turn, Donald Trump profited from the attack on Syria thanks to ownership of stock in Raytheon which was previously purchased by Trump years ago.
According to reports , Trump owned stock in Raytheon “up through at least the start of the presidential election cycle… [and] there is no record that he subsequently sold that stock.”

The problem with Trump owning stock in Raytheon is not only the potential profiting, but also the immediacy with which Trump can access those profits.
Buried on the 161st page of the Trump Organization (TO) Trust Certification Change is clause 9 which states: “The Trustees shall distribute net income or principal to Donald Trump at his request, as the Trustees deem necessary for his maintenance, support or uninsured medical expenses, or as the Trustees otherwise deem appropriate.”
In other words, monies incurred by the TO can be handed over to Trump at his request without having to declare those funds to the government or anyone else. Furthermore, those involved in this scheme, Eric Trump, Allen Wiesselberg, and Donald Jr., are not obliged to reveal when or how much Trump takes from the business.
