Astonishing and grotesque statement by Trump.
A tweet from “PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl” reads:
“‘Things happen’??? Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, chopped into pieces, put into suitcases, and flown out of the country… But we shouldn’t ‘embarrass our guest’??? What are we doing here America?”
A tweet from “Republicans against Tr…” quotes Trump saying that Khashoggi was controversial and “things happen,” adding that MBS “knew nothing about it” and that there's no need to embarrass the guest.
The image shows Trump seated beside a man wearing traditional Saudi attire in a lavishly decorated room.
