In reply to Mr.BD.

Trump could never be an “Alpha” BD. It’s that natural *thing* within that you either have….OR you don’t.

I would post it’s that LACKING within Trump that’s made him the nasty creature he became. Poor fella.

By now it’s obvious to the World that he lacks Courage. Class. Intelligence, Civility and an actual ability to give a d*mn about Truth and facts or about anyone but himself. If he wasn’t so dangerous, and in the White House, one could almost feel sorry for the man. Almost.

I want to say too thank you DJ for covering this story. You hit it out the park as usual. Like my buddy Truth says all the time Trump is a wanna be alpha male. He talks tough but when it comes down to it he is a cream puff. This Saudi dictator killed a United States citizen over free speech and all Trump can do is make up excuses and defend him? Plus he is also still trying to settle old scores by bringing up the whole Kavanaugh thing. No Trump this is not a joke. Also DJ made a excellent point. Trump is doing the same thing the Saudi prince does. They both down play the media for selfish reasons. Trump has so many people hating the media one of them could end up killed one day too. This is a big mess and I want to see if Trump will grow some balls and lead like America should or let France and United Kingdom have to be the alpha.

Mohammed bin Salman had Khashoggi killed. Could Trump’s rhetoric toward what he calls the “fake news” end with the same fate for some American journalist at the hands of a Trump loyalist? […]- DJ

Yes.

“But now M.B.S.’s government also has Jamal’s blood on its hands. Should we all overlook that as President Trump is doing? We must not, and, in fact, we cannot.” – Thomas L. Friedman, NYTimes Opinion Columnist,

Um…needless to say, Trump and his administration have NO clue as to how to handle this bloody mess We (the U.S.) find ourselves mired in so they’ll just muddle through hoping to get past this nightmare as fast as possible without the world noticing just how craven and woefully incompetent the Trump administration is.

So just how low will our standing in the world have fallen by the time this embarrassing farce of a presidency is over? Pretty.Darn.Low.

“But you can’t fix stupid. And when your ally does something as sick and as stupid as the Saudis apparently did in Istanbul, there is just no easy fix.” – Thomas L. Friedman

Was hoping you cover this story DJ. And you nailed it.

Honestly, my immediate thought – when I first saw the video of Khashoggi entering the consulate – was….

What an extremely risky move on Jamal Khashoggi’s part (going there for whatever reason) given his *problematic* history with Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Saudi Arabia and “authoritarian rule” go hand-in-hand. An authoritarian leader ordering the killing of his “enemy” is all in a days work. The notion that Khashoggi’s murder was carried out by some rogue group – and bin Salman had no prior knowledge of it whatsoever – is absolutely ludicrous.

Which brings us to the response to all this by the little *authoritarian wannbe* currently occupying the White House.
