More corrupt practices by the Trump family, especially after the gifted $2 Billion to an "Investment Specialist" such as Kuschner. More Dirty Money for the Trump Family Pockets in the offing:

The group is asking Trump to reconsider his business relationship with the Saudi-funded golf league, noting the tournament will take place “in the shadows of Ground Zero.”

The families of those killed in the 9/11 attacks are seeking a meeting with former President Donald Trump over his decision to host a tournament for Saudi-backed LIV Golf at his club in Bedminster, N.J., later this month.

Members of 9/11 Justice on Sunday sent the former president a letter, obtained by NBC News, that noted Trump has previously acknowledged Saudi Arabia was partially responsible for the 2001 attacks. The group asked that Trump reconsider his business relationship with the Saudi-funded golf league.

"It is difficult for us to fully express the extreme pain, frustration and anger this upcoming tournament at Bedminster causes our community," they wrote. "That is why we ask for the opportunity to have some of our family members visit with you in the coming days to discuss our concerns in person with you and urge you to cease further business with the regime that was complicit in the murder of our loved ones."

The group's president, Brett Eagleson, told NBC News that 9/11 Justice is planning a rally July 29 and have invited several tri-state area U.S. senators. The group is also planning to air some TV ads on the issue, he said.

The letter referred to an appearance Trump made on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" in 2016 in which he acknowledged Saudi Arabia's role in the 9/11 attacks and said documents supporting that conclusionshould be publicly disclosed.

"Mr. President, the documents are now open, as you suggested," they wrote. "And they reveal what we, and apparently you, have known all along. The Kingdom materially supported the planning and execution of these attacks. Given what you said on FOX, and the commitment you made to numerous 9/11 family members when meeting with them at the White House on September 11, 2019, we simply cannot understand how you could agree to accept money from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s golf league to host their tournament at your golf course, and to do so in the shadows of Ground Zero in New Jersey, which lost over 700 residents during the attacks."

On Monday morning, Trump's twitter page for his golf brand advertised the upcoming LIV Golf series tournament, scheduled for July 29 to July 31. The new golf league has upended the sport's establishment, with a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia and contracts with top players that reportedly reach $150 million or more.

The series closes in October with a $50 million purse at Trump’s signature course in Miami, Fla., NBC News reported.

This is disgusting, especially as the PGA is a prestigious Golf Tournament that brings out all the world's top golfers to compete at the highest level. This LIV alternative is all about greed and dirty Saudi money that should be best used to further the citizens of Saudi Arabia's well being!!

Trump himself ripped the PGA Tour in a post on his social network, Truth Social, on Monday, but didn’t mention anything about the 9/11 families’ response. The Bedminster course will host its LIV tournament from July 29-31. Trump’s Miami course is slated to host a LIV championship tournament in late October.

Would you expect anything different from the same creature that gave Afghanistan to the taliban ?

Obviously not, as this is how he even attacked those golfers who have the integrity to stick with the PGA:

All of those golfers that remain “loyal” to the very disloyal PGA, in all of its different forms, will pay a big price when the inevitable MERGER with LIV comes, and you get nothing but a big “thank you” from PGA officials who are making Millions of Dollars a year. If you don’t take the money now, you will get nothing after the merger takes place, and only say how smart the original signees were. Good luck to all, and congratulations to really talented Cam Smith on his incredible WIN! d you get nothing but a big “thank you” from PGA officials who are making Millions of Dollars a year.

But Biden greeted MBS with a fist bump so let's ignore Trump's actions.
But this is all about:

What they're saying:
“We simply cannot understand how you could agree to accept money from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s golf league to host their tournament at your golf course, and to do so in the shadows of Ground Zero in New Jersey, which lost over 700 residents during the attacks,” the group wrote in a letter to Trump obtained by the Post.

Some people continue to suffer under the illusion that the now former grifter in chief cares about anything other than his personal aggrandizement and profit. A true patriot.

I love the game - enjoy it as much as I love our lifestyle here (maybe a little less :D), my issue is that I have no issue because this is what is expected. Meaning, greed will always win in the end, you can't blame these golfers going to LIV - money is great - I would do the same - actually all of us would - why do we change jobs.... for more money. Here is the rub now, the PGA has met there match - they are now going to lose money (actually maybe not lose - but def. not make as much) - and good for them - those greedy bastards had their run - they talk about honour and competition - well PGA you got competition now - stop being a fkn suck and deal with it. Really? - all these years you made all that coin and now you are barking because there is another group - get over it.

Now - $$$ will always make you turn your head to not see what is going on in the world - that's the unfortunate sad fact. Tbh - if I was getting paid that much and it would set my family up for this one life we have - I would be taking the money also but I would also do something positive with it to balance the shame to make myself feel better - just truth I know of me.
