Trump clearly exhibits “dictator envy.”
OMG. Who would ever have thought this might happen. I’ll grant him one and only one thing. Dump is transparent. Transparently self-serving and transparent about this dictatorial desires.
If it weren’t for oil money these savages would still be herding goats. That’s not to insult actual goat herders.
Saudi routinely beheads and crucifies prisoners. Now, thanks to the Saudi war in Yemen, THIS is what the Saudi regime looks like- Amal Hussain, who starved to death in Yemen:
I don’t think the plight of starving brown people concerns Trump in the least.
WH Will Stand With Crown Prince Despite Khashoggi Killing
“I can’t turn my back on him,” added Trump, nervously.
This pretty much guarantees a coup-like event against MBS in SA, leaving Trump holding the bag like an idiot.
While Trump has been critical of the Saudis for the alleged murder of Khashoggi at its Istanbul Consulate last month, he’s been clear that he had no plans to foil a lucrative U.S.-Saudi arms deal ever since the writer went missing early last month.
Of course he won’t do anything that would disrupt the flow of cash.
This is in the best traditions of the Republican party… Simon Cameron, one of the founders of the modern day republican party once said:
An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.
What a big surprise. This major news story has taken a backseat to the 20 other head spinning events in the last couple weeks and now there will be no justice from the US. Disgraceful.
Now that was funny!
News Flash: Trump Sticks with the Bank
So I invite the leaders of all European countries and the United States to pass this test. Justice must be served.
“As long as I have business dealings with the Saudis and there’s money to be made, they can torture and kill whomever they want!” Trump added.
Just more proof Trump put his interests first and the hell with the reputation of the US.
Even though Khashoggi was not a U.S. Citizen, He was a legal resident and as such was entitled to the protection of the United States.
2000 years ago Cicero said:
When travelling across the Roman Empire, safety was said to be guaranteed to anyone who declared, “civis romanus sum”.
And now we have devolved to the era of Donald Trump where his default response is… “how much will you give me to look the other way?”
SHAME
If Trump could pardon MBS he would.
So Trumpy loves him some MBS because he’s large and in charge, but apparently MBS is not in charge enough to contain his underlings from killing.
So, when is the State Visit by MBS here?
maybe I have read too much ‘GODFATHER’. this is the message the SAUDIS sent to TRUMPf, 'we can get to anybody, including IVANKA, JARED and your sons…………you and yours.
A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat.
