Trump said no cost to US, we're actually paying 10 of the 15 billion to build it.
Trump said no other administration would have been willing to do this deal only his. Turns out that's because it's a huge insider deal.
Jason Miller, not Steven, Jason, is on the Trump admin as an adviser, he got paid about 200K to advise. Jason Miller also got hired by Mesabi Metallics, the Indian company that is doing the deal with us. He got paid 240k by them. So he got paid on both sides of the deal.
But wait there's more, the company behind Mesabi, the main company is Essar Group owned by the Ruia family. And per Al Jazeera the Essar Group has huge ties to.... wait for it.... Russia! They got huge bailouts from Russians to cover some of their debt and in a surprise to nobody, Trumps company is doing business in India with the Essar Group.
So this amazing deal that will revitalize American Steel by 2030, is just another insider deal where Trump gets crypto from the Ruia family and we end with nowhere near what he announced
