"Things Happen..."

Reporter: "Your Royal Highness, U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist..."

Trump: "He's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning someone who was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about…things happen."

A lot of people don't like Trump or what he is doing, so I guess that means...

A reporter ask him during this shit show, “Is Arnold Palmer the infamous “Bubba”? Is that a Golf Club nickname?
Someone more tech than I, can post the video of trump ranting praise on the size of Arnie’s man meat, that he enjoys viewing in the gold club showers.
That question would destroy the rest of the murderer’s visit.
Trump may stroke.

- in front of said murderer, and the president attacks her. This right after said murderer's country will buy US jets - same country's terrorists once attacked the US with airplanes.

Traitor's first ex-wife was set to testify in NY AG probe of Trump Org.

She didn't make the proceedings that were slated many people said for the very next day.



What a coincidence.

The Felon would very much like to order such extrajudicial assassinations, if he hasn't already. Not much of a leap from people in boats off the coast of Venezuela, to reporters who disrespect the king.
