Yeah, I’m sure Trump’s FTC will be on guard for any shadiness here

That’s not fair, Trump’s FTC is constantly on the lookout for shady deals.
How else is he supposed to get in on the grift?

The problem is that they’re already in on this grift. Jared Kushner is one of the top execs behind the deal.

I hear the saudis will gift Trump a $400 million dollar bus to get him to look the other way.

Yeah lol, this FTC will not be examining anything closely unless it somehow directly relates to some Trump personal vendetta.

they just gave him a plane (that was the saudis, right?). They can do whatever they want.

Sure, the FTC will tell Saudi Arabia of all countries to not dump billions into the US economy elite’s pockets.

Lol, the US economy… It will go to billionaires who won’t pay taxes and buy stuff from overseas anyways.

Especially since that Saudi influence has the President’s son-in-law pooling money with them on this investment ( from his shady deals made during Trump’s 1st term).

No no please there’s a chance it’ll kill EA, don’t stop them

Noting that EA had to take on nearly $20 billion in debt to finance the deal

A leveraged buyout, with the bought out company taking on all the debt, ya this is the death knell of EA. It’s going to suck for all the people who are employed by EA, but in the long term it is a way to get the company broken up.
