The bigger question is this. Why do you keep believing these jokers without question and without any proof?

Semantics. Trump loves the Saudis and has plenty of ties with them. And he's made millions off of them.

Totally corrupt.

Did you even read those links that you googled up?


Not one shred of proof given.

How about focusing on substance and not style? As in, content.

Trump's statement was another of his over 4,000 and counting outright lies so therefore so is yours.

Semantics.

Trump has major ties plus a long history of doing business with the Saudis in this country, clearly, though he may not own property in SA. Parsing his language is disingenuous to a Bill Clintonesque degree (and I'd take ol' randy Bill any day over the current Pretender in the Oval Office).

Me thinks you have your head to low down on the beach sand.

Trump has been paid tens of millions by Saudi investors and its government through a variety of business deals.

In fact, Trump has long done business with the Saudis:

Saudi Crown Prince Alwaleed bin-Talal purchased Trump's 282-foot yacht "Princess" for $20 million in 1991 (Trump was nearing bankruptcy at the time) and was part of a group that purchased the financially troubled Plaza Hotel for $325 million in 1995.
In 2016, the New York Daily News reported that the Saudi government also purchased the entire 45th floor of the Trump World Tower, for $4.5 million, in June 2001. Given annual fee fares for the building at the time, Trump also was paid $5.7 million by the Saudis between the purchase and 2016, the paper reported.
Trump bragged about his business dealings with the Saudis during a 2015 campaign rally in Mobile, Alabama.

so anything that presents stories you don't like is "far-left" and anything that mostly focuses on stuff you do like is "fair and balanced"....got it....
