I bet the Trumps are up to their eyeballs in Saudi money.

Nothing else explains their defense of the Saudis. If they don't play ball the Saudis will call in their debts and the whole Trump empire would fold .

I think it is going to fold anyway. Trump being an obnoxious horrible president has ruined the whole crooked family.

"Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million," Trump said during a presidential campaign rally in Alabama in August 2015.

"Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much."

At another rally that year, Trump said of the Saudis, "I make a lot of money from them."

"They buy all sorts of my stuff. All kinds of toys from Trump. They pay me millions and hundred of millions."

The only question here is: Who are they most indebted to, the Saudis or the Russians?

It is probably a really tangled up mess with funds laundered all over the world.

The first thing he did was hire over a dozen of the top RICO lawyers. If he could bring down the Gambino crime family, the Trumps will be a piece of cakes. The Gambinos were much, much smarter.

Eric's response was a dead giveaway. Who cares about a dead journalist when money is involved.

Probably other Russian oligarchs and other despots as well.

I suspect that the “wealth” of Trump is a house of cards, mostly borrowed money.

And corruption. Did they pay trump and jared to have mercenaries round up the Prince's opposition? That should be completely looked into.
