Abdullah is richer than Trump and he's a king. Trump will do whatever Abdullah wants.

He wasn't considered a "star" in the party because he accomplished anything in particular. If I'm reading that article correctly, his main appeal was that (before he got wrapped up in Trump controversy) he was such an overwhelmingly bland Republican (Troops! Reagan! No Gays!) that he had value at the national level because he'd be able to consolidate conservatives under a single tent.

Yeah if Kasich had taken the job Trump may well have been impeached by now.

Well, if that's meant to be shade, I wasn't denigrating Mexicans, just alluding to Trump's status as a medal-cuck.

This is also pretty great coming a few days after Jared worked out a ~$110 billion arms deal with the Saudis.

No, I was referring to Trump's ostensible dismay on learning that the President of Mexico has received the same award. What with the whole wall thing and all.

Nothing says peace like the country that flew planes into our buildings buying weapons from us and then funneling them to our enemies who then use them against us!

MAGA!

Nah the causal arrow is backwards. Obama was weak and pathetic therefor he bowed to the Saudi King. Trump isn't, so they either won't believe you or tell you it's a out of context frame or Trump's just doing the business thing of showing respect, etc.

Man Frothy. This whole episode is just watching the Republicans sink deeper and deeper into pathetic sacks of sh*t territory. At some point, in addition to the rage you feel pity, because the excuses are so flimsy and pathetic that it's just sad. You just want to take Frothy to the shed out back, pat him on the head, and put him out of his misery.

Is it too late to give the primary leaker in this administration the name "Mohammad"?

Seems like not a good idea considering Trump previously called Saudi Arabia "the world’s biggest funder of terrorism"
