A new low for MAGA-lomaniac Trump...

Trump administration's reported effort to 'barter' a US resident to convince Turkey to ramp down Khashoggi probe stuns foreign-policy veterans

National-security and foreign-policy veterans were floored by a bombshell report that the US weighed extraditing one of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's biggest enemies to get Turkey to ease up on its investigation into the killing of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

"If the White House seriously considered it, it shows to what lengths the [Jared] Kushner camp was willing to go to protect [Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman] in Riyadh," said another foreign-policy expert.

If Trump stands to benefit in some way by killing a legal US resident, then so be it.

I compare Trump and his cronies to any other rogue regime in the world that makes its enemies disappear (or in Trump's case, would like to) and worries only about its/their personal enrichment.
