....................................................................................................            Just look at how Trump has responded since gruesome information began to emerge….

  The million dollar question becomes why is Trump working so hard to exonerate the Saudi king and crown prince?  Could it be because, as Trump declared at a campaign rally in 2015, “Saudi Arabia, I get along with all of them.  They buy apartments from me.  They spend $40 million, $50 million.          

Am I supposed to dislike them?  I like them very much.”

  Could it be because as his business empire was hemorrhaging cash, he brokered multimillion dollar deals with Saudi officials — including a $20 million yacht sale to Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal?  Could it be because the Saudi government bought an entire floor in a Trump-owned building in 2001 for $4.5 million?  Could it be because the Saudi crown prince’s five-day stay at the Trump International Hotel in New York earlier this year single-handedly delivered the property its first profitable quarter in two years?     https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/10/18/donald-trump-jamal-khashoggi-response-compromised-saudi-arabia-column/1680857002/
