The Saudis have a few rich guys. FYI, they are actually considered a middle income country. Their wealth is just concentrated in a tiny number of hands.
Trump did business with them. So what?
Khashoggi was a non-US citizen who died at the hands of his own sketchy government in Turkey.
Considering he was a complete scumbag, why should anyone care that he died?
He had no relationship to the US and provided nothing of consequence to the US.
Why should the US president care?
The Saudis do sketchy stuff all the time. When any number of middle eastern states kill some random jihadi, or their supports like Khashoggi, no one cares. So, their killing people isn't exactly uncommon. This didn't happen in the US, or on US property, and did not involve a US citizen.
Your personal deraingement with regard to Trump seems to make you want to blame him in some manner for what happened. Why? I get you don't like the man. But really, this is a strech. The US has absolutely no skin in this game. Why would the US comment on it at all?
LOL! The Saudis do sketchy stuff all the time...
Exactly and they fund IS and Al Qaeda and 9-11.
Did you forget? I thought you and your men were fighting those guys.
Trump derangement syndrome? When you open your eyes and realize your oath was to the Constitution and not a fake reality TV businessman whose fortune all came from his dad and is now trying to use the presidency to make more money you will wake up too.
You do realize he doesn't get daily security briefings, don't you? That's right! us, the military, are risking our lives while the president is getting his intel from FOX.
If that doesn't piss you off then you were never in the military.
More importantly this false narrative that Khashoggi was a terrorist and deserved to die was completely fabricated. The Saudis have never stated that. Supposedly it was a fist fight with him versus 15 guys, remember?
More importantly, when (if ever) have the Saudis gone after terrorists? The Saudis always funded terrorism and after 9-11 they stepped up their funding when the US targeted Wahhabi schools around the world.
