DONALD TRUMP IS SAUDI ARABIA’S ‘BITCH,’ DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN TULSI GABBARD SAYS AFTER KHASHOGGI STATEMENT


While receiving bipartisan backlash over a Tuesday statement in which he ignored the intelligence community’s assessment that Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered at the order of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, President Donald Trump received what was perhaps the strongest rebuke from a sitting Democratic member of Congress on Wednesday.

“Hey [Donald Trump]: being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not ‘America First,’” Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii said on Twitter.

I see you, Tulsi.
 
 
Hey guys, he’s keeping Americans safe by not responding to the murder of an American journalist by a foreign head of state.

And yes, I know the board nativists will say he’s not an American citizen but he lived and worked here and his children are citizens. That’s an American to me.

He was an American “resident” who lived in America and worked here, and was in the process of applying for citizenship.

But yea, doesn’t matter to Moon, he’d rather focus on semantics than the brutal murder of a journalist working for the Post. Let’s guve him a break, it’s been a tough week for his president.
 
He “got in line” and was doing it the “right way.” But to Republicans, he was a dirty A-Rab whose family doesn’t deserve justice.

But this isn’t really about citizenship. You can bet if a foreign country killed any American citizen who doesn’t support Republican politics, Trump and the GOP won’t stand up for them either.

Right, had he been a reporter for Fox News, Republicans and Trump would be up in arms. It’s a game to them. Instead, they shrug and blame it on the “world.”
 
Jared Kushner pushed to inflate Saudi arms deal to $110 billion

President Donald Trump's reluctance to hold Saudi leadership accountable for the brutal murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi stemmed from a partly aspirational $110 billion arms deal between the U.S. and Saudia Arabia that was inflated at the direction of Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, according to two U.S. officials and three former White House officials.

Kushner, in a bid to symbolically solidify the new alliance between the Trump administration and Saudi Arabia while claiming a victory on the president's first foreign trip to Riyadh, pushed State and Defense officials to inflate the figure with arms exchanges that were aspirational at best, the officials said. Secretary of Defense James Mattis supported Kushner's effort and ultimately endorsed the memorandum, according to a former NSC official familiar with the matter.

“We need to sell them as much as possible," Kushner told colleagues at a national security council meeting weeks before the May 2017 summit in Saudi Arabia, according to an administration official familiar with the matter.

Another U.S. official said there was a back and forth between Kushner and Department of Defense and State officials on how to get to a larger number because the officials initially told Kushner that realistically they had about $15 billion worth of deals in works, based on the Saudi government's interest in a THAAD system and maintenance of other systems.

But even that order has not been fulfilled.
