Thanks for this collection. Very painful and sad. Funny how humor works, sometimes.

(23,340 posts)4. These cartoons reminded me ....
all the references to arms deals.
Jamal Khashoggi's uncle was the famous and very rich arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi. Worth about $4 billion in the 80s.
When Adnan suffered business reverses and had to sell off his super yacht, the purchaser was Donald Trump.

(37,158 posts)11. Would that be the same yacht Trump sold to a Saudi prince in 1991?
kwassa
(23,340 posts)16. yes, it is the same yacht. The Trump Princess.
At the time, Trump was almost bankrupt and looking to make some fast cash, reportedly selling the yacht to Prince Alwaleed bin-Talal for one third less than he paid for it.
In 1995, Trump also sold New York City's Plaza Hotel to Alwaleed and Singaporean investors for $325 million. In turn, they sold it nearly a decade later for $675 million. In July, Alwaleed's Kingdom Holding Company re-purchased the Plaza along with a New York-based firm.

between Jamal and Adnan Khashoggi. He was one powerful man in his time. Wow.
