In an interview with WaPo, Trump did not call for the ouster of Mohammed bin Salman and instead praised his leadership, calling the prince "a strong person, he has very good control."

“Obviously there’s been deception and there’s been lies,” Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post when pressed on the many discrepancies in the changing accounts from the Saudis. “Their stories are all over the place.”

He did not call for the ouster of Mohammed and instead praised his leadership, calling the prince “a strong person, he has very good control.”

“He’s seen as a person who can keep things under check,” he said. “I mean that in a positive way.”

The president said he does not prefer that another leader replace the 33-year old prince because he said he has read about others and Mohammed, known as MBS, is “considered by far the strongest person” and “he truly loves his country.”

1. By his aligning with another corrupt criminal Dictator

Only shows how much contempt he has for Democracies here and around the world now. He doesn't support Democracies here or anywhere else, and he's conned people into believing more lies and BS stories to get their votes again. trump's just like them, and make no mistake he will do the same thing, only hide it better. trump ignores the rule of law for himself and any others who he has control over, or is being controlled by others, and uses it as a political weapon to make others a criminal with . Money over a human life from trump is no shocker. He'll turn on all his followers too in due time, and always hurts the closer ones the most, and many now wish they weren't a part of this administration. His threats towards them will show them he never cared about them at all, and just used them like he does everyone else.

2. What is the Democratic Party position on relations with Saudi Arabia?

Are any calling for MBS to be ousted?

4. Excellent question.

I'm tired of listening to what this motherfucker is up to. What are WE up to?

[oberliner]

5. I know that several Democrats have called for implementing the Magnitsky Act

Even some Republicans might be on board with respect to MBS.

Not sure what the Democratic Party position is with respect to Saudi relations more generally, though.

I know it's always been complicated, but maybe time to re-evaluate that relationship?

6. Ain't nothing getting ANY evaluation worth it's salt

while 45 and his enabling fucks are around. The whole mantra of the GOP these days is heads I win tails you lose. Fuck these murdering scum.

7. All the more reason for Democrats to present a clear position on the subject

To contrast our party with the other side.

8. They have not invented a word to describe

how much I agree with you. Lead by goddamned example.

3. There is that "control" word again...

he used it this week in reference to the countries in South America that people are having to leave. These countries have "no control" over their people.

That says a lot about this person and it is not good at all for the US to have someone at the top with this attitude. But at the same time he loathes regulations for businesses. To me, that is where governments have control, when it comes to stopping people from harming others or the planet.


I guess this is about #383 of the things he has done that openly show what an awful president and human being tRump really is.

9. Said the same thing about rocket man. tRUMP wants total control.

10. Oh, lookie, IQ45 is showing everyone the

visual aide his staff prepared for him so he would understand the arms sale more easily.

11. Notice the Winston Churchill bust displayed conspicuously inconspicuous to the right side of the...

photo.

Pure propaganda at it's worst.

12. I think he loves the money that comes from oil under his country and hates

his citizens.

13. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot - "great people - very, very strong people who loved their country"

14. Kimmie is gonna be 💚.

15. There he goes praising murderous dictators again.

You would almost think he wants to be one.
