It will be hard for another Trump to happen again.

  • Jamal Khashoggi had friends within the Muslim Brotherhood and had joined the movement as a young man, but he appeared to have distanced himself from it later in his career.
  • His family and Khashoggi himself repeatedly denied claims of his membership in the Muslim Brotherhood in the years prior to his death.
  • Khashoggi was a Saudi journalist, dissident, and columnist who was critical of the Saudi government's policies and was assassinated at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
  • The discussion of Khashoggi's alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood has been part of a broader narrative concerning his work and political affiliations. However, these discussions do not alter the fact that his assassination was widely condemned and has had significant implications for international relations and press freedom.
 
Inevitable and necessary change at this stage of history tends to happen through populists like Trump, who play the role and then go away or die in office. There won't be another Trump for some decades because his job will be done.
