Sincere appreciation to those who have expressed and noted support in this thread.

 

By support, you mean support for Iran in an admitted act that provided funds and assets to a terrorist state.

Admitted.

And yet you continue with your bullshit.

What a reprehensible specimen you are.

So Trump said “four embassies” were threatened.

But nobody knows which four.  Or what threat.

It is no longer amazing/disappointing/shocking that Trump lies.  He has his Russian purpose to serve.  Rather it is the racist troll base of his that allow him to continue sucking the life, truth and honor out of America.  They blindly, eagerly suck up his profane drift with the  hunger of a starving animal.

LOL....first he used the word "probably"?? when he said it was the embassy in Baghdad...then he gets on Fox news and the bullshit starts flowing..got to keep the base happy..the clown crew he sent to brief the House and Senate didn't mention anything about 4 embassies but he can say that to Fox news??..humm...looks like Trump got caught in yet another lie....surprise..surprise...not only has he lost all credibility with the American public the world also knows he's full of shit too...as his clowns cheer him on....sad times.

and it's funny how the right and Trump hated our Intelligence Agencies for telling the truth about Russian interference in our election (Trump went in front of the world in Helsinki and said he believes Putin over them) or them now finding nothing on Hillary in their search for the "deep state" and all the bad things she did...but now they are trying to use them (throw them under the bus) to bail their lying asses out??...to funny.🙄

Trump supports not enriching terrorist states.

...

 

In July 2015 the Trump Organization was informed that their project in Baka, Azerbaijan was almost certainly a part of an IRGC money-laundering/WMD acquisitions scheme. 

They chose to continue the project for another year and a half, until December after the election.

Apparently the Trump organization came into this project after it had been going on for several years already and it looks like any money that might have gone to any Iranians was not from the Trumps. The Trumps were helping with design advice, marketing and were to be paid to manage it (again, the Trump organization was brought in years after the project had been already been started). Trump himself was not really involved.

Pretty thin gruel compared to flying pallets of cash straight to Tehran, unfreezing billions in Iranian assets and providing access to the financial system. And not surprising that the press tried to make a big deal out of it.  As could be expected, the story died. No doubt as there really isn't "much there there".

Complete and utter comedy watching the leftists flail around with furious anger, and grasping at straws in a slobbering, blind rage in an attempt to damage this awesome President. THE best President that I've seen in my lifetime...including Reagan (who was bad ass)...who I didn't like at the time because my family is/were are delusional democraps. I was an oblivious, idealistic kid...you know...the ones the left targets to carry their piss? I wanted jimmie carter to win. Now that is some funny shit in retrospect. Carter.🤣

Did you see Trump's interview with Laura Ingraham the other night? Among many things that he said that were spot on and showed how great of a leader he is, he said that there are two reasons as to why the establishment can't touch him and is still in this thing despite the 24/7/365 attempted smear-campaign waged upon him. Two things that we have known ALL ALONG: (1) Dude's got cojones of steel and doesn't GAF what you say about him...he's got the mental constitution of a friggin' battleship. And (2) Trump isn't a career politician that has an army of skeletons in his closet that can be exploited like all of the other establishment types possess (a big reason why they want him out)...and the truth is on his side. That's actually 3. 

The left is calling him "Teflon Don" as an insult. It's not an insult, it's the truth. Hard to make anything stick when there's no mess. Libtards are tooooooo funny.

The Establishment wants a soft-talking, deferential, controllable, predictable and malleable mouthpiece.

Trump is none of these.

He calls a spade a spade. And loudly. And he is not beholden to the Establishment and feels no need to kiss its collective ass.

Hence unrelenting bullshit attacks 25/8/366.

Pretty much sums it up, conch. Trump is a stud. It is an absolute pleasure to watch him work. I like the 25/8/366....very nice touch.

As the article states Trump signed the deal with the  primary front to IGRC in 2012. The goal of money laundering is to spread large amounts of money around the world without detection.  Trump didn't just profit from deal, by calling it a Trump project, he materially helped the Mammadov family IRGC front to inject money into the banking system.

If this is a gross miss-characterization, there are a number of documents Trump could release to settle it, starting with the due diligence he was supposed to do before entering into a deal with Mammadov's the well know IRGC front....

The project was 4 years old by the time the Trumps were involved.  The construction (the main expense and cash flows) had already occurred and the laundering was on the development side, not the marketing and interior decoration. You'll note that no dollar amounts are attributed to the Trumps. They were basically selling a franchise.

The story went nowhere for a reason and I don't see any need for Trump to go out of his way to "defend" against a leftist press that spends its every waking day figuring out how to attack him next.

Would that this same "press" had been as industrious, inquisitive, dogged and challenging when before Barry and Lurch were loading the untold millions in small, unmarked bills onto the cargo planes headed straight to Khomeini International Airport.

"In 2012, after Donald Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, signed multiple contracts with the Azerbaijani developers behind the project, plans were made to transform the tower into an “ultra-luxury property.” According to a Trump Organization press release, a hotel with “expansive guest rooms” would occupy the first thirteen floors; higher stories would feature residences with “spectacular views of the city and Caspian Sea.” "

 

What we do know for certain is Donald Trump ran for president while knowingly in business partnership with the main front for the IRGC.

We know he was selling a franchise and so far as I can see nobody has attributed a dollar from the Trump organization going into it and landing in IRGC pockets. In fact, it appears the connection to the IRGC was with a construction company hired by someone else that had been contracted years before. And the tower was already built.

Thin gruel.

But run with it.

Hate for you to chime in on actual and documented US government shipments of cash and unfreezing of assets to a designated terrorist regime. ✌️
