‘Things happen’
#WashingtonPost Editorial Board
Setting the record straight about our murdered colleague.
The #US govt often advances its interests by working with nasty people, & #SaudiArabia Crown Prince #MBS is one of the nastiest. It’s one thing…to reluctantly deal with him…[but] #Trump’s performance at the White House Tuesday was something else entirely: #weak, #crass & of no strategic benefit to US.
Asked about the #EpsteinFiles, #Trump attacks #reporter
The same reporter who asked earlier about #Khashoggi asked Trump why he is not releasing the #Epstein files now, rather than waiting for #Congress to vote.
Trump responded: "It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions."
He added "You're a terrible person & terrible reporter."
He added that he thinks #ABC's license should be taken away.
[Helsinki flashback] #Trump contradicts #US #intelligence, says #MBS 'knew nothing' about #Khashoggi death.
Then in classic Trump fashion, Trump dismisses a reporter’s question on the #murder of #journalist #JamalKhashoggi as an attempt to "embarrass" the #SaudiArabia leader, horrifically adding:
🚨 "things happen" [um… dismemberment doesn’t just “happen”] 🚨
Trump asked the reporter where she was from, then called her "fake news."
