Dark thoughts on the Khashoggi murder:
Did Donald Trump ever go to Saudi Arabia during the 1980s?
Because I'm guessing if he did after 1988, and he most certainly would have met up with others involved in real estate and construction, other billionaires' sons, like this guy?

This son of a Yemeni immigrant who built a multinational, multi-billion dollar construction company, which I believe is still KSA's largest construction firm, and is currently at work on the world's tallest building in Jeddah (stick a pin in that city).
Yup. That Bin Laden.
Back then, in the late '80s, he had just helped drive the USSR out of Afghanistan, and was thought of as a 'freedom fighter.'

This is what he looked like in the late '80s, just before returning to Saudi Arabia to work for the family business.
So, if you want to know why Trump may not have been fond of Khashoggi remaining vocal, take a look at this:
And here, look at the yacht Khashoggi's cousin built that was sold to Trump in 1988 (by way of Brunei), that just 3 years later sold back to Prince Al Waleed bin Talal...

( the same Al Waleed bin Talal who was abducted and extorted by MBS just after Jared came over for a pajama party... )
There's more, but I'm being summoned to another task... so I'll end with wondering if @craigunger may have come across any indications that Trump visited Saudi Arabia or the environs during the late 1980s?
'Cause that would make my hypothesis that OBL may have held kompromat over Trump (and other political figures) a lot more interesting.
But, of course, none of these tweets should be taken in isolation as anything other than supposition - thinking out loud, in case anyone else has come across more tangible evidence....
There is limited physical evidence to support yet, but loads of behavioural indications that this could be part of the story.
Or just a lot of odd coincidences.
