The high priest of the GOP cult courts the fathers and financiers of 9-11, but it's the "left" that "loves terrorist" according to sadbomber

Russia, China, and the Saudi Families were the initial investors in Trump Media's shell company... and they don't really care if that tanks, if Jerrod never pays them back his billions, or if they get to raise prices for November... as long as they have a shot at owning stock in the WH again.

Of course he did. He was begging him to put up bond money. Trump would sell his soul to the devil if he hadn't already

You're right.

Trump was desperately casting a wide net.

But then, we might be jumping to conclusions.

That conversation with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman could have been about this:

"LIV Golf League officials announced Monday that the $50 million team championship will be played Oct. 20-22 at Trump National Doral, which is owned by former U.S. President Donald Trump. The three-day team championship was originally scheduled to be played Nov."

Trump is going to rake in millions.

Hotel rooms have quadrupled in price and chalet rentals have jumped to $90,000.

But you raise an excellent point.

A Presidential candidate speaks with a foreign leader, and we have no information regarding that conversation?

Nothing at all.

Why?

Nunya bidness.

"Nunya bidness."

That could be true, too. But then, even a "nominee" should always be mindful of public perception.

However, knowing Trump as we do, both omnipotent and omniscience, he probably just doesn't give a damn.

He doesn't. And he's convinced his cult followers that all his legal woes are really directed at them, and he's the only thing saving them from it.

And they eat it up like candy.

Especially when that person may soon be receiving security briefings.

What that person then talks about with foreign leaders then becomes quite important.

... It's standard practice to share classified information with presidential nominees, but the decision to brief Trump if he becomes the GOP nominee this year is loaded with political and potentially legal risks. ...

To the point, what do we know about fmr Pres Trump's Helsinki meeting with Pres Putin in the summer of 2018?

Aside, that is, from photos that show fmr Pres Trump cowering in front of Pres Putin, and saying he bleieves Pres Putin more than he believes US intelligence services?

What did Pres Putin say to fmr Pres trump to make him look so scared?

I mean, look at the smile on Pres Putin's face, and the servile face on fmr Pres trump here...

I doubt "the Cult" knows or cares anything about the golf tournament. Nor would Trump invite the "great unwashed" to his prestigious golfing event anyway.

There is nothing about Lewzer that is a mystery at this point. He is exactly what he seems to be.

The electorate just has to decide if that is what they want for POTUS.

There is little point in asking what his conversations with foreign leaders were about, he will just lie. And everyone knows he will lie.

It's his superpower. Every lie makes him stronger. Every court loss makes him stronger.

LIV is far from prestigious. It's just a big pile of money and some golf balls.

You're right. I shouldn't have used the word "prestigious." That's Trump-talk.

Trump thinks everything that involves the "largest purses history has ever seen" is prestigious. Since getting blackballed from the PGA tour, he has no choice but to out-bluster his betters. That's been a pattern of redundancy his whole butt-hurt life.

Well LIV would be his go-to. Like Lewzer, the Saudis like to gold plate everything... but they use real gold.

A perfect cover to deliver the real package, imo.

His slime trail spells out traitor.

I called Trump's expression "hangdog" like he just got whipped hard for disobeying his master.
