Donny invents a convenient excuse
And his fur faced BFF Mohammad bin Salmon must be pleased as punch that the old fool is proving to be a good investment for the Saudis.
President Trump said on Monday that he spoke with the king of Saudi Arabia and that the ruler denied any knowledge of what happened to a missing Saudi dissident journalist. After the call, Mr. Trump said it was possible that “rogue killers” were behind the disappearance of the journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.Nothing impresses The Orange Humperdoo more than a strong denial, all the more so if it comes from a ruthless dictator. He likes dictators. And the Saudis were so nice to him, they let him wave a sword and touch their ball.
Mr. Trump’s comments, in a morning Twitter post and later in brief remarks to reporters, come as the Saudis have given Turkish authorities permission to search the Saudi Consulate in Turkey, where local officials believe Mr. Khashoggi, was killed and dismembered earlier this month.
Mr. Trump said his conversation with King Salman lasted about 20 minutes, and the king “firmly denied any knowledge of it.”
“It sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers — who knows,” Mr. Trump said.
In introducing the possibility that another party could have been involved in Mr. Khashoggi’s disappearance, the president opened a window for King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to stand by their denials.
If the Saudi leaders are found to be behind what happened to Mr. Khashoggi, Mr. Trump would probably face more pressure from Congress and other countries to respond.
