Trump Doesn’t “Condone” Saudi State-Sponsored Murder, He Hugs It
WASHINGTON — (Opinion) You’ve got to hand it to Donald Trump: when the U.S. president kisses up to murderers, he lays his reasons right out there for us. The rulers of Saudi Arabia, most notably Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, shall go without so much as a wrist slap from the world’s most powerful and influential country because oil prices might go up in America. And multi-billion dollar weapons deals — the true value of which Trump has grossly inflated for boasting purposes — might be jeopardized.
