“It made all the sense in the world, when we found out that the Saudis had paid for it,” said Henry Garcia, a Navy veteran from San Antonio who went on three trips. He said the organizers never said anything about Saudi Arabia when they invited him.

He believed the trips were organized by other veterans, but that puzzled him, because this group spent money like no veterans group he had ever worked with. There were private hotel rooms, open bars, free dinners. Then, Garcia said, one of the organizers who had been drinking minibar champagne mentioned a Saudi prince.

“I said, ‘Oh, we were just used to give Trump money,’ ” Garcia said.

Perfect. Using veterans to funnel bags of cash to the President of the United States.

We see it was money well spent. Dumpster Donnie is always loyal to money.

Trump could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and his supporters would still support him.

That was under Obama. Under Trump journalists are the enemy of the people.

That’s a limited offer; it may not be available during peak seasons.
