Trump: interest in Jamal Khashoggi murder has 'totally died down'

This story should really please the 9/11 Survivors. Someone please post that story when you see it.

Trump says LIV Golf worth billions in publicity for Saudi Arabia, claims interest in Jamal Khashoggi murder has 'totally died down' in WSJ interview

Former President Donald Trump said that LIV Golf has been worth billions in publicity for Saudi Arabia ahead of the upstart golf league's third tournament, set to be held at Trump's course in Bedminster, New Jersey.

"I do think that the publicity that they've gotten, more than anything, has been a great thing for them," Trump said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "I think the publicity they've gotten is worth billions of dollars. It's one of the hottest things to have happened in sports, and sports is a big part of life."

Backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, LIV Golf has shuffled the top tier of golf, poaching players away from the PGA Tour with huge guaranteed paydays and similarly impressive purses at tournaments.

Critics have called LIV Golf an example of "sportswashing"— capitalizing on the public's love of sport to help launder the image of Saudi Arabia and act as a distraction from issues like human rights violations.

"I can say that from the standpoint of Khashoggi, that has died down so much," Trump said. "It really seems to have totally died down."

It’s because the fucker is too cheap to buy space in a cemetery for his first ex-wife’s grave when he already owns 520 acres in the New York area.

His own grave is a different story: he, Melania, Ivana’s three menaces and their spouses will be buried well within Bedminster to keep people from pissing on the graves.

Trump doesn't care that Kushner used classified material from the White House to tip of MBS
about where Khashoggi would be so he could kill him and a 2nd rank golf tour of over the hill
golfers doesn't cover up the blood from that murder.

And BTW Trukey's Erdogen used Trump knowledge of the Khashoggi's murder to blackmail
Trump and let him murder the Kurds and Syrians.
