    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 through and 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?

      I’m not saying that Trump’s F35 sale isn’t pure corruption - only that he didn’t announce that that was the reason.
