Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. 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 knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
Trump did not say that Khashoggi had it coming. Aaaron is spinning.
The point I was making was this wasn't his first meeting of a POTUS since Khashoggi was killed. Where was the outrage in 2022 when Biden went there?
What makes it worse is Biden met with him.....after calling him a "pariah"......and swearing he wouldn't.......gas can in hand.
But the over lying theme here is that incident, as sad as it is, shouldn't be the basis of cutting all ties off wrt foreign policy.
You don't cut your nose off to spite your face.
As far as any remarks by Trump - he's a deal maker and isn't dumb enough to throw insults to someone he is negotiating with.
The only person who does that kind of thing is a dumb politician fishing for votes.......
