Gasp! Trump seems to have a correct take on Khashoggi

Trump accuses the Saudis of deception and lies

Uncharacteristically, he seems to have a complete grasp of the situation.

He says their explanation is bullshit.

He hopes MbS is not involved, but leaves open the possibility that he might be, and awaits further evidence on that point.

He fears Kushner’s cozy relationship with The Kingdom is a liability.

He reiterates that Saudi Arabia is a valuable ally.

Most people think MbS had to be involved in the murder, but I think Trump is right to be cautious with so much at stake, and to wait for all of his intelligence pros to evaluate and weigh all the available evidence.
