OK, I'll start. Trump actually has a lot in common with the Saudi's. They both reshaped the Manhattan skyline.
What? Nothing About Trump's Arabian Bromance?

I remember a video back during Trump's first term where he was dancing with the Saudis.

Biden basically gave the Saudi's the finger for killing a journalist. They gave us the finger back and spent a bunch of money in other countries instead of the USA.
He removed the terrorist designation from the Houthi and took sanctions off Iran and they rewarded our kindness by attacking our ships.
Trump bombed the hell out of the Houthi and repaired our relationships with the Saudis.
Trump gave a speech over in the middle east and said he doesn't believe in keeping permanent enemies.
This is definitely one of those situations where there simply are clear differences in Foreign policy.

It makes you wonder, what Biden got (are they all on the same team)?!?
Khashoggi's ex-fiancé Hatice Cengiz filed a civil lawsuit against Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was allegedly murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October 2018 on the orders of Bin Salman.
Jamal Khashoggi was of course a columnist for Washington Post of the Trump family’s buddy, Jeff Bezos…
The US state department granted Mohammed bin Salman immunity from this lawsuit, a couple of months after he became Saudi PM in September 2022. It doesn't make sense at all that he could get immunity for actions before he got this role.
Maybe Biden "forgot" that on the campaign trail in 2019 he promised to make Saudi Arabia a "pariah" for the murder of Khashoggi: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63671947

I thought people here supported peace and diplomacy.
Seems like someone wants us to bomb the Saudis for what Bush and friends let happen or made happen.
But it all makes sense if you understand that some people's only principle is that anything Trump does is wrong.
