“NOBODY HAS GOTTEN TO THE BOTTOM OF 9/11 UNFORTUNATELY, SAYS TRUMP

Fri 29 July 2022:

On Thursday, former US President Donald Trump defended his choice to host a controversial golf tournament that was sponsored by Saudi Arabia while ignoring the protests of the relatives of those who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in New York and Washington, DC.

The third LIV Golf tournament will be held from July 29 to July 31 at the Trump National Golf Bedminster course in New Jersey, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from the site of the Twin Towers. He made the comments during a pro-am game held on the eve of the tournament.

“Nobody has gotten to the bottom of 9/11 unfortunately, and they should have,” Trump told the ESPN sports channel, adding that those responsible for the attack were “maniacs that did that horrible thing to our city, to our country, to the world.”

Family members of the victims have condemned Trump’s decision and have asked him to cancel the tournament, which will include golf stars like Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson.

Terry Strada, chair of 9/11 Families United, a coalition of families and survivors of the 2001 attacks, said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is using professional golfers to change the image of the Saudi government.

Family members allege that the Saudi government’s involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks is undeniable. Fifteen of the 19 al-Qaeda terrorists who hijacked four planes were Saudi nationals.

Trump has said that the event will take place.

“I can tell you that there are a lot of really great people that are out here today, and we’re gonna have a lot of fun, and we’re going to celebrate,” he said.
