Anyways, all of our Presidents have been very democratic with the Saudis since they started to become rich off of their oil. I don't like how things are going, but life is more complex and complicated than people realize. There is more peace to be had by making sure your friends are close and your enemies are closer. Can the US really risk the Saudis, China and Russia joining a pack and hitting us head on with all they got? It would be WW3 if we don't first try peace.
He's in bed with all dictators cause he likes them and wants to be one himself. You haven't noticed this yet?

tRump's cowardly kowtowing to thugs like Kim and Putin has emboldened 2nd rate tyrants like MBS to commit brazen atrocities like the murder of Khashoggi.

Putin launches a cyberattack on us and tRump folds.

Putin tries to murder Russians in Britain and tRump goes belly up.

Kim continues to advance NK's nuclear weapons program; tRump: "I trust him."

tRump is a capon, not a rooster.

Its not the job of any US president to discipline other thugs for doing the same things they themselves do. America needs to mind its own business.

tRump has been active in helping the Saudis spew lies to cover their tracks.

There's absolutely nothing Trump can do to placate the liberal media and the Democrats.
Is that all Trump plans to do, a watered-down criticism of "Saudi Arabia?" Then after, business as usual with the crowned murdering prince there.

Secretary of State Pompeo met with MBS yesterday in Riyadh for a friendly little chat and photo op. Pompeo reportedly told MBS not to worry, that the Trump administration had the Saudi's back and considered the brutal torture, dismemberment, and murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi a trivial matter. So MBS is alive and well and looking forward to a long financially and mutually beneficial relationship with the Trump administration. Business as usual.
