Trump: "A lot of people didn't like (Kashoggi), things happened, but (bin Salman) knew nothing about it."

?si=rMrS_AKCHYScZu4I

Referencing the Khashoggi question, Trump snapped, “As this gentleman is concerned, he's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning somebody who was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about, whether you like him or didn't like him, things happened, but he knew nothing about it.”

“And we can leave it at that,” he demanded. “You don't have to embarrass our guests by asking a question like that.”

He is so embarrassed because he calls this guy by his first name, he calls everybody by his first name, and he’s a murderer. Trump knows he’s a murderer and admires him for it.

Trump does know something about the word “groceries”, an old fashioned word. But international scandal….murder by buzz saw? Nope. He doesn’t know anything about it.
