🚨BREAKING: Trump bragged that he protected Saudi Arabia's Mohammed “Bone Saw” bin Salman from congressional scrutiny after the assassination of Jamal #Khashoggi.
"I saved his ass. I was able to get Congress to leave him alone."

Trump also said he doesn't believe that #BoneSaw MbS ordered #Khashoggi's murder, despite the fact that the US and other foreign intelligence services concluded he personally ordered the attack.
Just like Trump took #Putin’s word over our entire intelligence community.🤬
After #Khashoggi's murder, Trump bypassed Congress to sell ~$8 billion in arms to the Saudis and the UAE, and vetoed 3 resolutions blocking the sale as well as a resolution to end US support for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.🤬

Woodward: “The people at the @washingtonpost are upset about the #Khashoggi killing. That is one of the most gruesome things. You yourself have said."
Trump: "Yeah, but #Iran is killing 36 people a day, so...”
Just like when Trump defended #Putin’s murders.🤬
‼️Woodward: “Do you believe that he did it?"
Trump: "No, he says that he didn't do it.”
W: "I know but do you really believe—”
T: "He says very strongly that he didn't do it. Bob, they spent $400 billion over a fairly short period of time."
And there it is—$400 billion bribe.
