Don’s passion for creating a “cancel-proof” economy, his years of strategic business experience, and his leadership within the shooting sports industry offer important expertise at the board level. Willie’s financial acumen and capital markets expertise will assist PublicSquare as we scale our solutions while managing rapid growth as one of the most important new marketplaces for American consumers.”

Donald Trump Jr. commented, “Having been involved from the earliest days of the company, I am thrilled to join the PublicSquare board of directors. With a rapidly growing marketplace and payments ecosystem, PublicSquare has a distinct position in the market based on the core tenets of our nation’s founding, paired with a results-driven management team. The American people have affirmed the importance of liberty, and PublicSquare is at the forefront of this movement. As a director, I’m committed to the long-term success of this important mission for our customers, merchants, and shareholders.

Willie Langston commented, “The opportunity to build on PublicSquare’s early success as a high-growth start-up company is compelling from a strategic and governance perspective. As both a director and a shareholder, I believe there is significant value to be unlocked based on the early wins of building a growing, networked marketplace for pro-America small businesses, an uncancellable payments stack, and a leading position in the underserved firearms financing and payment processing space. I am pleased to contribute to the company’s governance and strategic direction as a board member.”
