Yes. And I can’t help wondering if this is further even than Trump meant to go with his poisonous “enemies of the people” talk. (Nobody seems to love the media more than he does, going way back. I think what his “enemies” whining means is that they’re not loving him back. And, to be as fair as I can stand to be, they did love him, but probably not for himself, and now he feels jilted.) The Saudis seem to have had some reason to think they could count on his friendship’s giving them cover here. Indifference to murder is a worse crime, if you ask me, than blatant tariffs and other schemes, which can be reversed. Death cannot.
