Trump should release transcripts of his perfect, beautiful calls with Mohammed bin Salman so we can all appreciate the genius—the master—at work.
When U.S. President Donald Trump's defense of Saudi Arabia's crown prince this week, he did more than just stir renewed accusations from critics of an affinity toward strongmen. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/20/world/politics/trump-saudi-us-shift-human-rights/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #jamalkhashoggi #pressfreedom #humanrights #saudiarabia #mohammedbinsalman #us #donaldtrump #republicans
Donald J. Trump tells the public, that it is understandable that you would kill someone who was controversial and unpopular.
In particular for him, I would strongly advise against such a position.
Donald Trump said Mohammed bin Salman knew nothing about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, contradicting U.S. intelligence assessments. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/19/world/politics/trump-saudi-khashoggi-us-intel/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #mohammedbinsalman #jamalkhashoggi #saudiarabia #middleeast #us #donaldtrump #trade #republicans
"A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen, but he [ #MBS] knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that,” #Trump said as if likability excuses #murder.
[Helsinki flashback] #Trump contradicts #US #intelligence, says #MBS 'knew nothing' about #Khashoggi death.
Then in classic Trump fashion, Trump dismisses a reporter’s question on the #murder of #journalist #JamalKhashoggi as an attempt to "embarrass" the #SaudiArabia leader, horrifically adding:
🚨 "things happen" [um… dismemberment doesn’t just “happen”] 🚨
Trump asked the reporter where she was from, then called her "fake news."
This is MBS's first visit to the US since the 2018 killing of #journalist & Saudi critic #JamalKhashoggi in the kingdom's Istanbul consulate.
#Khashoggi was killed & dismembered in Oct 2018 by Saudi agents in an operation US intelligence believed was ordered by #MBS.
Khashoggi had criticized the crown prince's policies in his #WashingtonPost columns.
He had traveled to the #SaudiArabia consulate to obtain papers to marry his fiancée, a Turkish citizen.

murdered journalist #JamalKhashoggi must be turning in his grave
#F35 many major parts are made outside the US. The front undercarriage (major part) used to be made in #turkiye but they lost the contract
Speaking of #Khashoggi, his GF (or wife?)
#EdwardSnowden said that the software, created by #NSOGroup Technologies, was used to help track Khashoggi, gain information from his and her phones

Both reformist and autocrat, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has emerged as the most momentous and audacious leader in Saudi Arabia’s modern history — driving its transformation and shaping its future. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/17/world/saudi-mbs-us-visit/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #jamalkhashoggi #saudiarabia #mohammedbinsalman #us #donaldtrump #republicans #oil #middleeast
