Former president Donald Trump’s company is angling to host events at his golf courses for the controversial Saudi golf league, according to three people familiar with the matter, potentially handing Trump a lucrative business partnership with an oppressive regime he defended as president.

At least two of Trump’s courses in Bedminster, N.J., and Doral, Fla., could be named as sites for the nascent tour, according to the people familiar with the talks, who like others requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Officials from LIV Golf Investments, the apparatus funded by the Saudis to host the tour, have held conversations with the Trump Organization, these people said.

One of the people familiar with the matter said Trump had spoken to Greg Norman, the head of LIV Golf Investments, about having his properties involved in the tour.

A spokeswoman for LIV Golf Investments declined to comment. Eric Trump, the former president’s son, and a Trump Organization spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment. The Saudi embassy in Washington also did not respond to comment requests.

8. Thought he banned Muslims.

Golf playing Muslims are good to go. Now if Biden hosted 9/11 terror Muslims at his resorts, I think Tuckums and Hannity would die from stroke with anger on live TV. Talk about a ratings boost. Any Comments, Cruz, Paul, Marginal Trailer Queen? What’s next, Nazi and Communists tournaments. Two of her favorite bogeymen.

13. Actually, he only

banned poor Muslims.

4. And who knows what lucrative deals Kushner cooked up with MBS, with all his trips paid for by us.

Kushner seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time with MBS, often with his brother in tow, which meant business discussions, not US government issues. Basically, we paid for four years of Kushner and Trump Enterprises business development.

6. Very Well Said

Ask the leaders of Qatar how saying no to Kushner worked out.

Just in case there is a Secretary of State coup and TFG is reinstalled.

9. Ah yes Greg Norman.....

Women’s right issues—the women there now, I’ve been so impressed. You walk into a restaurant and there are women. They’re not wearing burkas. They’re out playing golf.

Editor’s note: Saudi Arabia ranked 147th out of 153 nations in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index for 2021. And according to Human Rights watch, despite women’s rights reforms in recent years, “Saudi women still must obtain a male guardian’s approval to get married, leave prison, or obtain certain healthcare. Women also continue to face discrimination in relation to marriage, family, divorce, and decisions relating to children, including child custody.”

18. Well, since the National Archives took back the top secret documents I guess Trump won't

be able to sweeten the deal.
