More new information from Bob Woodward's book.
Not surprising yet somehow still shocking that dt will defend any dictator, autocrat or despot. This time it was Mr. Bone Saw of Saudi Arabia and the brutal murder of Khashoggi.
Dt claims he saved MBS from the wrath of Congress. I wonder what information he ordered destroyed within the US intelligence agencies? Deep in my heart I think Kushner had some idea at minimum that the Saudis were going to kidnap Khashoggi.
"I saved his a--," Trump said in 2018, amid the US outcry following Khashoggi's murder, according to the book. "I was able to get Congress to leave him alone. I was able to get them to stop."
Woodward tries to get dt to focus on MBS and his part and dt had to know of the position of the Washington Post and Woodward on the brutal murder of Khashoggi yet here he is
"Do you believe that he did it?" Woodward asked.
"No, he says that he didn't do it," Trump replied.
"I know, but do you really believe —" Woodward began before Trump cut him off.
"He says very strongly that he didn't do it. Bob, they spent $400 billion over a fairly short period of time," the president said. "And you know, they're in the Middle East. You know, they're big. Because of their religious monuments, you know, they have the real power. They have the oil, but they also have the great monuments for religion. You know that, right? For that religion."
Of course because they will buy from that military industry that dt was just complaining about. It always is about money with zero morality.
