Patriotism Rises with Trump’s Second Term

There seems to be an uptick in patriotism as President Trump’s second term unfolds. The 1789 Capital Growth Equity Fund, which focuses on U.S. security and capitalist policies, has seen impressive growth. It started the year at $200 million but is projected to hit $2 billion by December 31, 2025. Currently, the fund is closed to new investors, according to sources.

In addition, a new fund called the 1789 Real Estate Fund has raised $1 billion in a matter of months. This fund is aiming to capitalize on the influx of people relocating to South Florida from high-tax states like New York, driven by rising demands for commercial spaces, housing, hospitals, and schools.

Co-founded by Omeed Malik and Chris Buskirk, the company also includes Donald Trump Jr. as a partner and is recognized for its early investment strategies in the U.S.

Among the notable investments, there is Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which could potentially go public this year, with estimates suggesting a valuation around $1 trillion. Additionally, Groq, an AI company within the portfolio, recently partnered with Nvidia in a significant deal worth about $20 billion.

Furthermore, Anduril, a defense technology firm established by Palmer Lackey, is another ownership in the portfolio. Recently, Lackey spoke about their new military technology in an exclusive interview, addressing the upcoming large-scale production of the YFQ-44, an autonomous fighter aircraft. He emphasized that this craft operates without pilots, acting as a “loyal wingman” alongside human Airmen.
