Trump’s fondness for dictators enables them to kill people because they know he won’t do anything about it. Trump will make excuses for the Saudis no matter what the truth turns out to be.
Trump on
Putin: He didn't do it
Porter: He didn't do it
Moore: He didn't do it
Kavanaugh: He didn't do it
MBS: He didn't do itCentral Park Five, exonerated by DNA evidence and a confession: They definitely did it and deserve to be executed

Trump's line about the strength of the Saudi king's denial is very reminiscent of how he would repeat Putin's claims about Russia's election interference https://t.co/nWsHvpLy34

King Salman denies it.
Vladimir Putin denies it.
Roy Moore denies it.
Brett Kavanaugh denies it.
In the President’s world, the truth doesn’t matter. Admission is weakness. Denial is everything. The more vehement the better. But don’t ask Trump.
He denies it. https://t.co/bBjYduvggI

Mnuchin trip comes as Trump wants to move forward with Saudi arms deal, opposed by members of both parties, and as he floated the Saudi denial – despite intel that led senators to conclude Saudi was behind apparent murder https://t.co/PNngUBPCsN
