“No one has gotten to the bottom of it, unfortunately, about the maniacs who did this horrible thing to our city, our country and the world,” says former president
The ex-president donald trump this Thursday sowed doubts about the authorship of the attacks of September 11, 2001, in the course of a golf tournament financed by Saudi Arabia, at the doors of which relatives of victims and survivors of those attacks perpetrated mainly by Saudi citizens have been protesting.
Dressed in the red cap with his campaign slogan ‘Make America Great Again’, Trump responded to a journalist who asked him for a message for the victims of 9/11, who protested a few days ago and will do so again this Friday to denounce the new LIV tournament, backed by money from the Saudi government.
“No one has gotten to the bottom of 9/11, unfortunately, about the maniacs who did this horrible thing to our city, our country, and the world.“, comments the former president in a video on the golf circuit of his Trump National Gold Club complex, located in Bedminster (New Jersey).
“I’ve known these people for a long time in Saudi Arabia, they’ve been friends with me for a long time, they’ve invested in a lot of American companies, they own huge percentages of a lot of American companies, and quite frankly what they do for golf and golfers is fantastic.” , adds the tycoon.
The videos of the statements, taken by sports media and uploaded to the Internet, accumulated thousands of visits and critical comments in just a few hours on social networks such as Twitter.
