Trump backs Saudi Arabia despite murder
Every week sees a new low. He isnt the only one, Mrs May is a waste odf space as well.
Realpolitik ?
No.
Trump has only himself to blame for this becoming an issue, the consequence of Trump’s incompetence, ignorance, and stupidity.
Trump mismanaged the incident from the outset; a competent president would had immediately condemned the brutality of the Saudi regime, condemned the war on journalists conducted by other authoritarian governments, and reaffirmed support for a free and unfettered press.
Trump did none of that.
Indeed, Trump was more interested in protecting the Royal Family than finding the truth.
And having failed to manage the incident properly, Trump is now subject to warranted, appropriate criticism for not holding the Saudis accountable.
