In a bonkers moment, Trump blasted a reporter as “fake news” and smeared the murdered Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in order to defend Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman during his visit to the gilded and gaudy Oval Office today.
During Trump’s first term, Demented Donald took a lot of heat defending Saudi Arabia by whitewashing MBS’s involvement in the violent murder of Jamal Khashoggi after US intelligence concluded Mohammed bin Salman approved the assassination of the Washington Post journalist in 2018.
It didn’t take long for Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner to receive two billion dollar investment from the Saudis.
ABC’s Mary Bruce acted like a true journalist, calling MBS and Trump to the carpet for glorifying the Crown Prince.
BRUCE: Is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you’re president? Is that a conflict of interest?
And your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9-11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office.
TRUMP: Who are you with?
BRUCE: Why should Americans trust you?
TRUMP: Who are you with?
BRUCE: And the same to you, Mr. President.
TRUMP: Who are you with?
BRUCE: I’m with ABC News, sir.
