    Trump has let Jared Kushner lead him down the wrong road with his relationship with Jared's buddy Mohammed Bin Salman (aka MBS), the crown prince of Saudi Arabia and the man who ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

    The Saudis believe they have so much control over Trump that MBS has boasted that Trump is in his pocket. Certainly, Trump is showing evidence that he is a captive and hostage of the Saudis linking them to US jobs.

    Trump is unable to make positive economic moves without the cooperation of the Saudis who have threatened reprisals in case of US sanctions on MBS and his associates over the Khashoggi murder.

    Trump's fawning, obsequious, conduct is a disgraceful embarrassment to the USA.

    A bipartisan backlash is developing among lawmakers which could force Trump's hand.

    America has always supported tyrants as long as they are our Allie.

    No, they have so much control over the free floating dollar and the banking system. Not Obama, not Clinton, not Bush, or Trump is going to **** with that. And you wouldn't either if you were in the oval office. There'd be a 6.5×52mm Carcano with your name on it. Stop talking crap

    When did your 2 minutes of hate become a life sentence? Is Jamie Dimon your Emmanuel Goldstein?
