The documents in the young man’s possession show that the structures have received millionaire funds for years: these are childcare centers that should welcome dozens of children, but on a weekday the structures are deserted.

Donald Trump jr, son of the president of the United States, also expresses his opinion: “If you haven’t seen it yet, watch it. Everything”, he writes, relaunching the video investigation. “Know that this is what journalists are supposed to do, but no one in the mainstream media will bother to look, let alone publish it. This is what they are doing to your country with your tax money,” he writes. One user’s first response sums up the general mood: “Dude, your dad is the president. Tell him to do something.”
