Trump Corruption /2
“..personal financial interests govern his agenda.. weaker states getting American military aid if they keep the coffers full..
Trump—“Saudi Arabia should fight their own wars..or pay us an absolute fortune to protect them and their great wealth-$ trillion!”
Trump Corruption /3
“The idea that Saudi Arabia, which is not even a treaty ally of the United States, would set the terms for military retaliation was bizarre. Suddenly “America First” had given way to “Saudi Arabia First.”
Trump Corruption /4
“They’ve been a great ally,” Trump enthused.
“Saudi Arabia pays cash..

Trump Corruotion /5
“Saudi officials have been ostentatious patrons of Trump’s businesses: “The manager of Trump’s hotel in New York credited a timely stay by members of the Saudi Crown Prince’s entourage..w/lifting revenue there by 13 percent in one quarter last year...”

“Trump’s push to make the American army a mercenary force in the pay of the Saudi royal family comes at a time when public opinion in America is becoming more critical of the US/Saudi relationship.”
