It appears that the Saudis lured Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi to the Kingdom under false pretenses, and then gruesomely murdered him. There is supposedly an audio and video tape of the murder.
Our president is freaking out about this, but not out of outrage. He doesn't want to do anything to retaliate. Why?
He personally makes a lot of money thanks to the Saudis. (This is why we have an emoluments clause in the constitution)
And
He signed a big arms deal with the Saudis. (Although it hasn't actually happened yet)
And
Jared is best buds with the Saudi Crown Prince. (That's the guy who allegedly ordered the murder)
