(1) The anti-Trump media, Democrats & their foreign state and non-state terrorist partners will be unsatisfied with his responses to the Khashoggi case no matter what he says.

His quote today is clear about it:

(2) President Trump: “They had a very bad original concept. It was carried out poorly and the cover-up was one of the worst cover-ups in the history of cover-ups. Very simple. Bad deal, should have never been thought of. Somebody really messed up.”

(3) Trump: “They had a very bad original concept.”

Opponents: Criminal Trump only cares that they were caught!

Me: "Very bad" could refer to the original plan to kill or kidnap Khashoggi. It's not clear, but it will become so in due course.

(4) Trump: "It was carried out poorly."

Opponents: Trump endorsed state sponsored murder as long as it's not carried out poorly!"

Me: For the 437th time, Trump makes New York-guy style comments that are taken out of context & later formally clarified, showing what he meant.

(5) Trump: "The cover-up was one of the worst cover-ups in the history of cover-ups."

Opponents: Trump agreed with us but he took too long to do it!

Me: No comment needed really, is there?

(6) Trump: "Very simple. Bad deal, should have never been thought of. Somebody really messed up."

Opponents: He referred to it as a deal! He only cares that they messed up and got caught!

Me: The word "deal" has more than one meaning, such as: incident, situation, event.

(7) We are still not privy to enough verified official information on who did what, when & why. Trump has more info than we do. He is clearly criticizing the Saudi government for:
>this death
>whatever the security team was trying to do at the time
>the lack of immediate info.

(8) I remain skeptical that MbS himself would have planned or allowed such an incident, casting doubt on whether he had full or even partial knowledge of it beforehand, or soon after.

I will wait for more info.

Meanwhile, media ignore every other similar case in the world.

(9) Media also ignore the many photos of MbS, as recently as this year, meeting with every major Western leader & a large number of tech billionaires, celebrities, and ordinary Americans, all smiling, all relaxed. Some monster, then?

(10) I always #ConsiderTheSource. Those who slammed MbS the loudest, earliest & longest over this were the WaPo, NYT, BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, Qatar, Turkey, Iran, Palestinians, & Germany. Every one of them has a vested interest in making MbS fail.

(11) Yes, certain GOP Senators have joined the chorus of criticism. Guess what?

So have Trump and Pompeo.

Like I said, it doesn't matter if Trump agrees with his opponents on an issue. They then criticize him for that.

(12) Eg: "Stop threatening North Korea, use diplomacy!" then "Trump cozies up to dictators!"

And on and on.

MbS and his reforms will survive this. So will Trump & the GOP that sustains his agenda for the future.

The #RedWave will #VoteGOP & the Dems can't stop us.
