The Mad Prince also murdered a Washington Post columnist and friend of mine, and he presided over the torture of a Nobel Peace Prize nominee. Not to mention starting a war in Yemen leading to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Other than that, a fine guy.


Trump got something wrong on the killing of Khashoggi in response to my question. He said nobody had pointed the finger at Saudi Crown Prince MBS. But a UN report said that there was “credible evidence” that MBS and others in the Kingdom were responsible.
