(58,785 posts)doing some excellent work on the topic of the Trumps, especially this one.
We know Trump's always been a wimp, lot more gas than flame. But Mr. Khashoggi's murder has made me wonder how comfortable Trump might be becoming with connections to murder and other violence.
Our government intercepted information that this assassination was being planned, and under any previous administation Mr. Khashoggi would have been promptly informed -- standard procedure complete with a numbered federal form for it. In this case, there is every indication that Mr. Khashoggi had no idea as he walked alone into that consulate to his date with torture and death.
There's also strong indication that Trump's "friendly" relationship with Saudi Arabia is entirely a personal business one.
