So, yeah, this happened. The President of the United States just publicly declared that money matters more to him than human life. Enjoy your Thanksgiving celebration. Seems appropriate.
Statement from President Donald J. Trump on Standing with Saudi Arabia
America first!
But, I mean, come on. $450 Billion dollars. I know what we are, I’m just negotiating the price. I’d kill and dismember a guy for $450 billion. I’d do it on 5th avenue and I wouldn’t lose any....oh, yeah, the House.

After my heavily negotiated trip to Saudi Arabia last year, the Kingdom agreed to spend and invest $450 billion in the United States. This is a record amount of money. It will create hundreds of thousands of jobs, tremendous economic development, and much additional wealth for the United States. Of the $450 billion, $110 billion will be spent on the purchase of military equipment from Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and many other great U.S. defense contractors. If we foolishly cancel these contracts, Russia and China would be the enormous beneficiaries – and very happy to acquire all of this newfound business. It would be a wonderful gift to them directly from the United States!
The crime against Jamal Khashoggi was a terrible one, and one that our country does not condone. Indeed, we have taken strong action against those already known to have participated in the murder.
