1. Sickening....Trump grinning as he holds hands with a killer

The Saudi Crown Prince must have given Trump a gold key chain or something else Trump considers more important than a human life.

3. I still remember when he took his first "foreign" trip during his first term

It's traditional for new presidents to take their first trip to another country to visit Canada, our closest ally and neighbor. But he took his first trip to Saudi Arabia, no doubt persuaded by Jared. And we know what the outcome was for Jared - and certainly his father-in-law has the same motivations - $.

2. Whoa, I would love to hear those tapes that Vindman referenced!

5. As with Jared, who convinced him to make his first foreign trip to Saudi Arabia

He's proven that the American people are not his concern, for the felon-in-chief, who considers himself first as a "businessman," it's all about the $$$.

4. It all boils down to the fact that Trump is a whore.

Nothing more complicated than that.

6. Did you see the smirk on the MBS's face when It praised

Saudi Arabia for its human rights? I was like Yes! I’ve got him!

7. Yup. And it all comes down to greed, the American people are last on his list.
