In an about-face, President Donald Trump has conveniently forgotten old boasts about his business ties with the Saudis, calling reporting on them “FAKE NEWS.”
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)!

There’s a good run down of Trump’s entanglements with the Saudis here and with the Russians here.
Of course this means that, yes, the Trump Organization (and the Kushner family enterprises) have deep and extensive financial ties to both Saudia Arabia and Russia. No other reason for the vehement denial.
Who is paying for the bailout of 666 Fifth Avenue?
Trump’s denials are getting more strident and immediate. Just noting. He needs a continuity director specifically for his lies to keep him on track.
And the media will report his denial much louder than their half hearted note of its falsehood.
Rise, repeat.
He suffers no consequences thus he continues.
He might as well deny they ever stayed at his Trump hotel in DC… the media will dutifully report his denial with a half asses note of the clear and provable falsehood.
Another day, another outpouring of bullshit and lies…
Think of the montage of lie and counter-lie you could put together,
“I have no financial interests in Saudi Arabia (or Russia, for that matter)”
That is not the question tubby. It’s about with not in.
