Trump to AP: Saudi Arabia criticism makes the nation 'guilty until proven innocent'[/]

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump defended Saudi Arabia in an interview Tuesday, suggesting the wave of criticism the Middle Eastern kingdom has received over a missing Saudi journalist is premature.

"Here we go again with you know you're guilty until proven innocent," Trump told The Associated Press in an interview at the White House.

The AP's report said Trump compared the accusations against Saudi Arabia, which stands accusing of killing Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, to sexual assault allegations against recently confirmed Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

"I don't like that," Trump said. "We just went through that with Justice Kavanaugh, and he was innocent all the way as far as I'm concerned."

his pattern is set in stone. At a rally he'll say something like "I like journalists that weren't dismembered".

Earlier I read the "horse face" comment he made and I wanted to scream. Now this. Makes me so sad for what he's doing to our country's standing/reputation in the world.
