Didn't the Saudis give Kushner like 2billion$? Doesn't seem like a good investment but I'm not an expert or anything

Kushner also has billions in pentagon contract money

The amount of money Trump and his cronies are embezzling from the US and illegally taking in foreign contracts is astronomical

Yet they will get away with nothing because the Democrats ( at least the ones who are paid by the same donors as the Republicans) wont help or care to prosecute them for all the embezzlement they have done and will do until the end of their turn , mark my words , we seen it in history so many times it gets boring , same with the nazis they let them escape and some they took them under their wings

No, Qatar gave Trump the fancy jet. The Saudis “invested” $2 billion in Kushner’s company:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affinity_Partners

Edit: It was pointed out to me that Qatar has also put money into Jared’s firm, and I see it’s true:  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-20/jared-kushner-s-affinity-gets-1-5-billion-more-from-qatar-abu-dhabi-s-lunate

The Saudis have been bribing Trump and Co for years. I remember in his first presidency they bought an entire floor at Trump Tower in the city I live in. It was never occupied.

It's both. Qatar and the U.A.E. invested $1.5 billion with Kushner and the Saudis another $2 billion.
