    While hosting the Saudi-backed LIV Tour at his New Jersey golf club, former President Donald Trump on Thursday defended his decision to get in bed with the controversial golf league by shrugging off outrage from 9/11 victims’ families.

    “Nobody’s gotten to the bottom of 9/11, unfortunately,” the former president flatly told ESPN, contradicting his past declarations about Saudi involvement in the terror attacks.

    I wonder what Trump's motivation is to get into bed with the Saudis this time around? Their government killed a WAPO journalist recently.

    Trump has always been about himself. He is only interested in the money.

    No doubt the stupidest of Trump's flock will warm to the Saudis now. Like they did with Putin.

    Didn't Biden also try to warm to the Saudi's recently after he insulted them?

    I think he was trying to bring them around on climate change (strategic alliance), rather than personal gain.

    He was bending over to help reduce the pain wrt the price of gas. He was asking them to increase production. In return they took advantage of the publicity.

    He was personally selling out for the sake of the country.

    LIV is an interesting issue

    They are spreading crap tons of money, and they re buying pro-golf. I would think that any smart businessman would at least try to get some of that, and what Trump did was possibly guarantee himself a tourney there every year. As a businessman, it was the right move. I dont fault him because others will be doing the same very soon.

    What I cant wrap my head around is the “we haven’t really gotten to the bottom of 9-11”. Of all the dems things Trump has said, this one is literally the dumbest. We know more about 9-11, the what, The Who, the why….to say that is beyod ridiculous Tat statement alone should warrant a cognitive evaluation !!!!
