No need to worry, they're hard bargainers. They'll get the best price for selling out the US.
Trump will only sell stuff to good people.
Trump, seated beside the man the CIA found had ordered the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi suggested that maybe the journalist had brought his fate upon himself.
“You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about. Whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happened,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office and then chastised the reporter who asked the question for disrespecting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to his face.
“He knew nothing about it, and we can leave it at that. You don’t have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that,” Trump said.
The CIA, under Trump’s control,
concluded just six weeks after the murder that the killers acted at bin Salman’s direction, killing Khashoggi and then cutting up his body with a bone saw to remove it from the consulate without attracting attention.
Trump ignored that assessment as he bathed bin Salman in praise as part of a red-carpet welcome for him that includes a state-visit-like formal dinner, even though bin Salman is not yet the head of state.
“I’m very proud of the job he’s done,” Trump said. “What he’s done is incredible in terms of human rights and everything else, and he’s the crown prince, the future king.”
Trump’s personal business is simultaneously making
major agreements with Saudi Arabia that could enrich Trump personally by millions. Trump, though, claimed that he has nothing to do with it and that it is entirely run by his children.
“I have nothing to do with the family business I have,” he said. “What my family does is fine.”
You mean like Hunter Biden?
Trump said the same thing during his first term. Those statements were proven false in testimony that emerged during his civil and criminal trials in recent years.
In addition to a lavish welcome, Saudi Arabia will also be permitted to buy F-35 fighter jets, among the most advanced stealth warplanes the United States makes, even though
Defense Department officials worry that doing so may make it easier for China to get its hands on that technology.
No wonder the Prince invested $3 billion dollars with Jared Kushner 3 months after Trump was run out of office.
