    DRAIN THE SWAMP


    Seriously Trump supporters and apologists, If Trump is playing the corporate shill game as much as Shillary whats the point?

    At least Shillary has some nuanced knowledge regarding things such as constitutional law and how our legislative proccess works along with foreign diplomacy. At least we would be respected more.

    Setting aside personal gain for Trump and his cronies, because Trump supporters do not care, this smell like a potential disaster down the road. We were only interested in them for oil, now it continue to be huge military $$. ARggh.

    If the deal has string attached related to human rights and improvement in their education system... that would at least be interesting - cause you know, Trump think Muslim and Islam is backward and hate the West, while many of us are concerned about how the Saudi system bring up and educate their people and how they have conduct themselves in the region. But now we see that it's business as usual + personal gain for Trump. Scam.

    So you are saying It's ok for Trump to get special favors for his hotels in return for giving the Saudis whatever they want?

    Trump is going to get involved in the these deals cause he feels he is helping American companies

    Liberals turning that into something not ethical make liberals look like the stereotype of people who don't know where money comes from

    This wasn't done to help American companies, Lockhead was forced to give a discount as Trump was negotiating on behalf of the saudis not the American people . This was done to help Saudi Arabia to return a favor. Stop being so stupid.

    Where were you during the lies of Clinton Cash?

    Without knowing which exact technologies, Lockheed's competitors include United Technologies, BAE Systems, Boeing, Cassidian (Airbus Military), Dassault Group, Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH, Finmeccanica, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Panavia Aircraft GmbH, Raytheon, L3 Technologies, Rolls Royce, and SAAB AB. The biggest competitors are Boeing, Northrup Grumman, and Raytheon.

    I am guessing PGA Gabriel was on this website criticizing Clinton. But Clinton was a Democrat and Trump a republican, so back then it was bad, and now its OK. At least I think...

    Bullshit!

    Trump is the Trump priority, which is why his companies get to use foreign steel.

    Trump is about Trump, nothing else.

    You are not a smart man.
    .

    Trump makes Lockheed take less money to help the Saudis get a deal. This will force Lockheed to have less profits which according to you mutants cost American jobs. So trump is trading jobs for what purpose? Saudis wanted the weapons anyway, they would have paid full price. Why do they get a discount?

    More ignorance from the OP.

    Saudi Arabia has been negotiating this arms deal for a couple years now. Lockheed Martian and Northrup Grumman were the two competitors in this deal.
