1. So Trump is sending an official delegation to kiss the murderer's ass

7. Steve Mnuchin was 1st one out the door

8. Hey!

We're talking a hundred billion arms sale deal here! The Saudi prince could lop off Ivanka's head with a scimitar on 5th Avenue and not lose Trumpy's support.

3. But Trump is "very, very serious" about punishing the Saudis

Not "very, very, VERY serious" of course, but still...

6. Punishing the Saudis

Yeah, he will be livid if he finds out that the Saudis did it. He'll send Jared to 'very, very seriously' slap them on the wrist and tell them that as punishment they will have to buy another ten or twenty billion worth of armaments and send a larger delegation to stay at Trump Tower the next time they come to New York.

4. 100B arms deal . . .

Ya think that money will tickles down to the working middle class and poor?

10. The Saudis need the arms deal a lot more than we do

$100 billion is big money, but amounts to a very small portion of our total $19 trillion economy. And, if the arms don't get sold to the Saudis, I'm sure somebody else will buy them.

Trump just wants to sell to the Saudis because he & Jared probably get the best kickbacks from them.

11. That's "found money". Found money gets to go toward a wall

[Garrett78]

5. None of which will happen, which is not to say Swalwell and other Democrats shouldn't demand it.

9. Won't it be hard to return him alive

wasn't he tortured, killed and dismembered?

[lindysalsagal]

12. Oh no you don't.

The people elected him KNOWING he would not do the job. So, don't go expecting him to suddenly start presidentin'.

Not why he's there.
