Trump’s Statement on Saudi Arabia, Explained!

What a disgrace this guy is. He has effectively given Mohammed bin Salman a license to kill Americans and western critics of the Saudi regime. And the disrespect Trump shows to our own intelligence agencies is embarrassing.

(I know Khashoggi wasn’t a U.S. citizen. He was a legal resident, though, and his children are U.S. citizens. Even if he had been a citizen, nothing would change in Trump’s calculus of this scandal.)
