Supports. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have joined Dominari Holdings and helped launch American Data Centers, an AI infrastructure venture.[4][5]

Supports. Trump's own investment accounts disclosed nearly 30,000 securities transactions since returning to office, including AI-linked firms such as Micron, Dell, GE Vernova, Broadcom and Texas Instruments.[6][7][8][9]
