Paramount’s hostile bid for WBD is backed by billions from Saudi Arabian & Qatari sovereign wealth funds.
Additional money comes via Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner's Saudi-financed equity firm.
Now, Trump says he's going to be "involved" in any final ownership decision.

Trump does not have the popular support of Americans when it comes to Ukraine. When we hear "The US wants Ukraine to concede land," it is wrong. The US does not want that. The Trump regime wants that.
I hate seeing that voters, Congress, and the SCOTUS has breathed so much power into the beast.
