For the record, I have no financial interests in Saudi Arabia (or Russia, for that matter). Any suggestion that I have is just more FAKE NEWS (of which there is plenty)!

I was listening to a year old speech by Medea Benjamin yesterday and she outlined how the Saudis put cash in his pocket during his "tough times".

He also filed for 8 business licenses with SA while campaigning... I believe 4 of them are active. All these deals were put in place long before he became president... I believe it's payback. It's sure not for the good of our country.

Trump lies so often and so boldly that the press doesn't really say that much.

BTW when Trump says something you can expect that the exact opposite is the truth.

Statements made by Donald create a presumption of untruth which can only be rebutted with evidence. This is civil of course, not criminal, but likely applies there in reality, too.

and it might have been a rouge operation .... I'll pay Elizabeth Warren a million $s if she takes
a DNA test and proves she is an Indian ... millions of illegals voted for Hillary ... Mexico will pay
for the wall ... coal is coming back .... and on and on.

The non stop lying is part of his M.O. and done with a purpose. Hell, the mother fucker lied about
being a billionaire.

I thought Donald Jr. said the $$ came from Russia. Maybe he just throws Don Jr and Jared under the bus.

telling themselves whatever they need to to get through this life...but the problem is when they try to get a job with a major role in things that impact others. I guess sales and that type of work would be fine for this personality type. Someone who wants to work in government needs a firmer grip on reality and the knowledge that what they are doing is to help others.

I keep wanting to shout at tRump: THE WORD "US" IS RIGHT IN THE NAME OF THE COUNTRY!!!!Get a clue!Or, preferably, get out of THIS job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

has many long running financial ties to the House of Saud and other business ventures from wealthy investors from Saudi Arabia. His followers are gullible dupes who will believe anything as long as the confirmation bias gives them som threadbare excuse for holding onto Trump's lies.
