Donald Trump stood on the lawn of the people’s house, the White House, and traded the life of an American resident for a lie. The Washington Post journalist, Jamal Khashoggi, had a green card, but he was lured into a Saudi embassy in Turkey. There, he was tortured and murdered, then dismembered by Dr. Bone Saw. Trump did not care.
The next day POTUS tried to make the case that America was all about profits, not a shining ideal for human rights and honor. He tweeted:
‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
‘Oil prices getting lower. Great! Like a big Tax Cut for America and the World. Enjoy! $54, was just $82. Thank you to Saudi Arabia, but let’s go lower!’
Trump claimed that there was no proof that the heir-apparent in the Saudi Arabian Royal family, Mohammed bin Salman (MSB), was involved in the assassination. Yet, the CIA had proof positive that MSB had ordered the torture and dismemberment of the Washington Post journalist. Trump just does not care.
There is no doubt that the president hates journalists. He calls them the enemy of the people. He pick fights with them, then pulls their White House credentials. He points them out to his ginned up rally audiences. Yet, allowing this murder to go unpunished, journalist or not, puts all people who travel at risk. Trump just does not care.
Trump clearly will not defend them. He acts subservient to the Saudi Crown Prince, when in actuality, the U.S. by far holds the power in this relationship. The man sitting in the Oval Office hyped the numbers when he talked about the profit and U.S. jobs to the point of absurdity. The fact remains, a man died a horrible death. Why? Trump just does not care.
