"Things Happen..."

Reporter: "Your Royal Highness, U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist..."

Trump: "He's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning someone who was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about…things happen."

Alrighty then.

A reporter ask him during this shit show, “Is Arnold Palmer the infamous “Bubba”? Is that a Golf Club nickname?
Someone more tech than I, can post the video of trump ranting praise on the size of Arnie’s man meat, that he enjoys viewing in the gold club showers.
That question would destroy the rest of the murderer’s visit.
Trump may stroke.

- in front of said murderer, and the president attacks her. This right after said murderer's country will buy US jets - same country's terrorists once attacked the US with airplanes.

ETA: Traitor's first ex-wife died on day before two of her kids were set to testify in NY AG probe of Trump Org.

They didn't make the proceedings that were slated many people said for the very next day.

Ivana’s testimony never will be heard.



What a coincidence.

Ivana, the ex-wife was NOT set to testify, though their daughter, Ivanka and Don, Jr were set to testify.

We should be scrupulous with our facts and not get loose with them like the MagaMonarch and his devotees.

If you listen to the video by Cheri Jacobus in your post she posits that it is possible that her "accident" was to send a message to their 2 children.

I can find NO record that said she was set to testify.

Which, doesn't discount the very terrifying possibility that he could have had something to do with all the other coincidences mentioned here.

The Felon would very much like to order such extrajudicial assassinations, if he hasn't already. Not much of a leap from people in boats off the coast of Venezuela, to reporters who disrespect the king.
