Yep. Let’s just keep cozying up to the Saudis.

I’m looking forward to Dump making this situation much worse. I wouldn’t be surprised if he figures out how to get another article of impeachment out of this situation—like maybe he gives a statement and accidentally on purpose reveals some kind of Saudi-Trump grift. Or Rudy goes on a rant and discloses a new Jared-MBS-DoD grift. lol

Trump later: “There was no proof he was from Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have never done anything to harm us. Biden did 9/11.”

To paraphrase Laurie Anderson:

It’s not the bullet that kills you, it’s the nationality of the shooter.

He’ll blame the Ukraine, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Burisma, Hillary Clinton, and Crowdstrike. And then he’ll tell us of the “economic benefits” of ignoring Saudi terrorism.

Who could have known that this was even possible? If only there was some history to inform us of such a possibility.
