A tale of two princes: a king's son and a president's son-in-law drive Trump's visit
The Los Angeles Times ^ | May 21, 2017 | Michael A. Memoli and Molly Hennessy-Fiske

They’ve been dubbed the two princes, the rising powers behind the thrones in the budding strategic alliance between the House of Saud and the House of Trump.

Jared Kushner married into Donald Trump’s family and now serves as the president’s senior advisor. His portfolio of domestic and foreign responsibilities seems to grow heavier by the day.

Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is the Saudi defense minister and head of the state oil monopoly. More importantly, he has emerged from a crowded field of royalty to be second in line to King Salman, his 81-year-old father, who inherited the crown two years ago.

Starting last winter, even before Trump took office, the two trusted family advisors quietly joined forces to mend U.S.-Saudi relations strained by President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, which the Saudi rulers opposed, and his moralizing on human rights. which they disdained.....

Preibus is already coming back. Did he bow??? Claude taylor says due to FBI. Others think precursor to being fired. One speculated he is coming back so as to give trump an excuse to cut tour short

The two undeserving of a salary but also took advantage of the office and millions in traveling extravaganzas were the impostor and his wife, NUFF SED!

Claude Taylor....others think....one speculated....

Geez.....you just don’t stop with your CNN style ‘facts’, do you?

Post named sources/sourced links....other than ‘Claude Taylor’, who is possibly a figment, or enough with the drive by posts.

Unemployed Americans don’t receive salaries either.


What’s YOUR point, exactly?

I guess unemployment benefits don’t exist.

I guess EBT, housing and 0bamacare don’t exist, either.

You seem to be another one jealous of Ivanka and her husband’s financial success....they’ve produced more, have paid more in UNEMPLOYMENT TAXES, and have EMPLOYED MORE folks, than most who are on the ‘unemployed’ rolls.

Btw, my post lists what people are speculating. Different viewpoints. It is pretty clear I was showing speculation.

I will always look at ALL viewpoints and speculation as opposed to you ..who wants to claim everything is fake news.

I trade the market. I have to look at it. I was short when the market took a whoosh on the news and had to look for what happened in real time. I even asked on FR at the time.

Just because I look at everything..and will continue to do so..doesn’t make me a NeverTrumper.

It makes me a smarter trader.

Well, here’s a question for you, and your previous “fact” saying that Rience is ‘on his way back, right now’.....

How can Rience be in two places at one time? If he’s ‘on his way back’, how is he IN RIYAHD, SAUDI ARABIA right now? Fox News just showed him with Tillerson and Ross at exactly 5:01 p.m., Saudi time.

No speculation....he was right there, LIVE, with them/Trump, still in SA.

Better get a better source for your ‘speculations’.

I did NOT use the words RIGHT NOW as in he is on the plane at that very minute.

Haberman, who Kellyanne Conway has praised...said Preibus is coming back early...as in ““leaving the traveling White House caravan early”.

I then posted what people are speculating as to the reason why.

Well you've got to re-evaluate your sources then. On the live feed from Riyadh, there is Reince Preibus. Not on a plane back to the U.S. to get fired as your sources are telling you.

Good thing for you the markets are closed today.

Haberman didn’t say he was on the plane that very minute. It’s already decided he is coming home. True or not..we won’t know yet.

Btw, I HAVE to look at all sources. This is a psy ops campaign. Trump has mishandled the PR on at least two major hit pieces. You don’t send people out and then later reveal it was true when you have your people saying it isn’t true.

And for the market..truth doesn’t really matter in real time. It is the possibility that it is true and the way it is mishandled that can cause a fund to hit the sell button..and cause a WHOOSH.
That is what happened Friday.

React first ..question later..happens all the time.

AND YES, watching the news makes me a smarter trader.

Btw, you need to research and decide for yourself whether Dina Powell..friend to Ivanka ..and one who attended the secret meeting at Deng’s place with other Dems... is leaking to Haberman.

Good chance that is the case.

You don’t have to read them at all. If fact, you don’t even need to respond to them.
