New: Trump had a secret meeting in the oval office yesterday with Saudis. Saudi gov. releases photos





Dan Pfeiffer

@danpfeiffer
Not only did Trump meet with the Saudis without telling the press, it appears the White House photographer gave the photos to the Saudi government before they were released to the media

@kbsalsaud
Upon directives from HRH the Crown Prince, I had the pleasure of meeting with @RealDonaldTrump yesterday to deliver a message from the Crown Prince, and review aspects of our bilateral cooperation, including efforts to confront regional and international challenges.

they are spending a boat load of money at Trump tower and they expect protection from Iran.

The Saudis already put out a statement that they were not consulted by Trump regarding the killing of Soleimani.

Everywhere Trump turns, his perceived "friends" are twisting the knife deeper and deeper. Can't wait for the WH to explain this one. Oh wait, they aren't bothering to explain much of anything anymore.

the Iranian general AND welcome him to the political murderers club. Look at his face in recent photos, he has this look of finally getting off after years of masturbating. His thirst for being able to order the killing of someone and not be condemned for it is much to his liking. He's not a virgin anymore and this secret visit shows that along with the many calls and visits by russian individuals. His face is far different looking in their presence, it's obvious he feels like he's finally entering an elite club that makes him one of the most powerful on earth. That's his fantasy and it's coming true.

MBS is a murderer, now along with Trump, and SA has been exporting Islamic terrorism for decades. Blowing up their oil facilities sounds good.

They wrote "Peace" and meant "Piece"

Just like the letter they sent out was meant to say they are sending more troops to Iraq, not withdrawing the troops from Iraq
