November 18, 2018: Is There an Authoritarian Leader Trump Has Ever Doubted?

 

11/18/18: On the international front the Saudis now admit they not only murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, but also dismembered the body. 

Trump promptly labels Saudi Arabia “a spectacular ally.” 

Trump also admits he hasn’t bothered to listen to a tape of the Khashoggi killing, which the Turkish government shared with the C.I.A. Trump calls it “a suffering tape, it’s a terrible tape.” 

Meanwhile, almost every country in the world and almost every expert in foreign affairs insist the killing could not have occurred except on orders from the Crown Prince. Trump tells reporters that he has talked to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman five times, and he denies a role.



Says he didn't do it; Trump believes him.
