Post says “Trump just announced … because …” I don’t see that that is the case. The suggestion is that he said “We’re selling F35s to the Saudis because they’re doing a deal with me”, and that does not appear to be true.
Sure, and we don’t have any receipt to support that the Five Guys gave me a cheeseburger yesterday because I paid them to do so.
That may well be suspected, but to claim it as fact is propaganda.
/s. Yes, post hoc ergo propter hoc is a fallacy. But consider the timeline: the Trump organization had made some deals about projects in Riyadh and Jeddah, but the big new development in Diryah, owned by the Saudi government, was still not on the table even after Trump toured it and expressed interest back in May. Now, suddenly, the deal is going throughand the Saudis are getting the planes they want in the same week?
Honestly, if you don’t believe this, what kind of evidence are you looking for?
Considering that literally the only sole actions that the demented psychopathic traitor takes are to enrich himself (and his filthy cursed offspring / handlers) through absurdly blatant and completely undeniable corruption, it’s not at all hard to see that this is yet another self-serving grift by the pedophile-in-thief.
Could we get sources?

Appears there are a number of sources discussing it. It’s strange being that Russia is currently selling them air defense systems as well.
Not that surprising if you think about it. Clearly Russia wants real world data regarding how those systems work against cutting edge US technologies.
Thank you, saved me a couple of searches
Not seeing anything in there to support that Trump announced that the sale was happening because the Saudis are doing some deal with him personally.
That may well be suspected, but to claim it as fact is propaganda.
Well they can only speculate about motive, and a reputable news org won’t do that.
But we know Trump, and we can put two and two together.

Again, it’s just 2 + 2.
Again, I’m not saying that Trump’s F35 sale isn’t pure corruption - only that he didn’t announce that that was the reason.

Criminals don’t typically announce their motives, no.
