US President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the White House Tuesday, defended the prince’s bloodstained rule when questioned by reporters about the grisly murder of Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, and then hosted a formal dinner in the prince’s honor, attended by billionaires, corporate executives and Republican politicians.

For four years, bin Salman was unable to visit Europe or North America due to outstanding legal issues stemming from the Khashoggi murder. A team of Saudi assassins, headed by Salman’s security chief, seized Khashoggi when he visited the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey to obtain documents for his marriage to his Turkish fiancée. The journalist was tortured, killed and his body dismembered and disposed of secretly.

During the course of the visit, Trump had an extraordinary exchange with a reporter that exposed the gangsterism and criminality of both governments. When ABC News reporter Mary Bruce raised two pointed questions—asking Trump about possible “incriminating evidence” in the Epstein files, and bin Salman about the Khashoggi murder and the Saudi government’s ties to the 9/11 terrorist attacks—Trump erupted in defense of both himself and the prince.

You mean billionaires who are murderers, not people willing to murder billionaires?

Because the latter is what I prefer.

I hate this man with every cell in my body. Why is he not in prison? I literally think he should have been given the death penalty for that insurrection

My wife pointed out the curious body language of MBS during this interview. There's a message toward the reporters and to Trump during all of this.
