Trump Thread

The clinton foundation did in fact take 25 million from saudi arabia, trump not banning the saudis doesnt change that.

As for draining the swamp: noone can know after the first week and predictions to the contrary are made doubtful by precident, by your outright refusal you are not rising above it all, as you wish to be seen doing, but instead merely partaking in a different side's partisanship.

The clinton foundation did in fact take 25 million from saudi arabia, trump not banning the saudis doesnt change that.

That's not necessarily a fact, you're using two assumptions:

1. That their website only provides correct information.
2. That the donation was 25 million, when the website lists donations between 10 and 25 million.

Of course making deals with dictators and "questionable democrats" is an old tradition of Western politicians that is hardly exclusive to Clinton, not that that makes her any better. Here are some other recent examples:

Britain has agreed a £100m defence deal to help develop fighter jets for the Turkish air force.
The announcement came as UK Prime Minister Theresa May met the Turkish president and prime minister in Ankara.
Mrs May said the defence agreement "underlines once again that Britain is a great, global, trading nation".
She said the UK would enhance trade relations with Turkey, and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country would increase trade to $20bn (£16bn).

In a telephone call that same day with Erdogan, Trump passed on compliments to the Turkish president from a senior official with his company’s business partner on the Istanbul project, whom the president-elect was reported to have called “a close friend.” The official, Mehmet Ali Yalcindag, is the son-in-law of Dogan Holding owner Aydin Dogan and was instrumental in the development of the Trump complex in Turkey. That Trump delivered messages from his business partner to Erdogan has been reported in numerous media outlets in Turkey, including some closely tied to the government, and has not been denied by Turkish officials or the Trump transition team.

Just business as usual I guess.
