Trump II will host a Black-Tie dinner at the White House for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday. News reports indicate the guest list includes "business executives, lawmakers and governors."
The Crown Prince will host a U.S.-Saudi investment conference during his visit. Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, Public Investment Fund (PIF), is headed by the Crown Prince. It has been busy lately.
Trump II's son-in-law Jared Kushner manages over $2 billion in Saudi money via Affinity Partners, a private equity underwriter (PEU).
At prior Saudi-U.S. investment meetings PEUs, Wall Street Giants and TechGods have been front and center. Executives are invited to the upcoming White House dinner but the list of invitees is yet to be posted on the White House website.
Less than two weeks ago Trump II spoke at the American Business Forum in Miami. The Saudi PIF was the presenting partner for the event.
PIF has a Future Investment Institute (FII) and Trump spoke at the FII Priority meeting held from February 19-21, 2025 in Miami.
On May 13. 2025 Trump II might as well as have kissed the toes of the Crown Prince the way he slathered over the man at the U.S.-Saudi investment conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Trump II brought back "trillions" in deals. Remember, deal makers get deal fees.
Time will reveal if the guest list is made public. It is still the People's House, although Trump II is determined to make it the PEUples'.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod/CryptoBro brethren. Increasingly, more are one. They will gather Tuesday evening to celebrate murderous tyrants.
Update: The Sunday morning news shows interviewed two former PEUs, now in government roles under Trump II. Affinity Partners' Kevin Hassett was on ABC's This Week and Flex Capital's Dan Driscoll was on CBS' Face the Nation. Hassett worked for Jared Kushner and PEU founding father Michael Milken, while Driscoll had a number of major TechGods as limited partners at Flex. I'm sure most watchers had no idea they were being PEU'd.
Update 11-25-25: Kevin Hassett is at the front of the pack of five under consideration for the next Fed Chair. Noted stock trader and former Dallas Fed Chair Richard Fisher highlighted Hassett's frontrunner status.
Update 11-30-25: Trump II pardoned a PEU fraudster, David Gentile of GPB Capital. Gentile defrauded more than 10.000 investors with is Ponzi scheme.
Update 12-3-25: Bloomberg reported on a prior Trump pardon of Eli Weinstein. Weinstein went back to committing fraud while never attempting to make restitution to prior victims.

The failure of the current government in the States is becoming more evident. They can barely say anything that is not untrue anymore.The economy is slumping, but they are trying their best to hide it, and keep promoting the thought that 'next year' everything will be better. I doubt that it will.These are reivers and predators, not builders. Destroyers, rather than producers. They are in it wholly for themselves. And it shows if one has eyes to see.It's a shame really. But I imagine we will go through some painful times, and then bounce back once again.Foolishness will have its way, and will not be deterred from its own destruction.
