If looking at Trumps twitter is anything to go by today US is beating Qatar on topic of terrorism.

Oh...

I guess they spun him the whole bad Iran story in simpleton terms.

Plus, given the US are training half the jihadists woth Saudi money, I guess it was obvious which side of the conflict he would take.

Maybe next time the UK gets attacked, he would like to take some credit/blame rather than blame the London mayor in that case.

Trump's probably going to cancel all those deals once his staffs admits to him that most of those intended sales origin from the Obama administration.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Moreover, it’s unlikely that the Saudis could pay for a $110 billion deal any longer, due to low oil prices and the two-plus years old war in Yemen. President Obama sold the kingdom $112 billion in weapons over eight years, most of which was a single, huge deal in 2012 negotiated by then-Secretary of Defense Bob Gates.​

Disappointed in Obama.

Poor Yemen.

Obama's hipocrisy isn't news. People have been pointing this out for years.

 

[wildfire]

What a clown.

Can't even do corruption right.

 

[epmode]

The fake news is coming from inside the White House!

Is anyone else reporting on this? If true, it really feels like a new low. Outright lying about signing a trade deal is crazy.

Yeah no kidding. There are a lot of legitimate things to attack Obama on but the right couldn't get pass that he was black. He authorized the killing of US citizens with no court order but lets ignore that and keep yelling about how he wasn't born here.

I hate twitter but there should be a campaign about how Obama's deal was bigger.

 

[Dead Prince]

im shocked. shocked i tell you.

 

[vonStirlitz]

To be fair, a lot of people (funds, corporates, individuals) report done deals on the basis of non binding letters of intent.

I dont see that as an issue as such. I would have hoped the absence of a done deal would give foreign policy latitude to the US, but clearly not.

The guy is a fucking dufus. He cant even play commercial/foreign policy poker when he is blabbing out thicko missives by twitter.

Unless its some kind of three dimensional chess we mortals dont understand

 

[John Rabbit]

He can't even support the continued violation of human rights correctly. Amazing.

 

[Fenderputty]

Ivanka's charity feels so much better.

 

[Yado]

I don't think Trump cares or his supporters

nah they're just going to say it's a good thing he didn't do it.

I thought he supported Turkey, Phillipines and Saudi?

 

[Flux]

You know Trump, we really are the fake news.

 

[John Rabbit]

He does, but apparently only philosophically since this deal with SA doesn't actually exist.

 

[1st Course]

The article reads more like a speculation than actual news.

The deal was reported in Saudi media (Al Arabiya etc) so I doubt it's really fake.

Yeah, I won't believe this until it's confirmed by some legitimate news organizations.

 

[TheRealTalker]

don't mind these then

as they make it to SA

the deal existed even when Obama was President, this guy Trump was playing it up as if he made the deal and shouted that he created 1000s of US jobs, then came too much heat and everyone is playing dumb

[Heshinsi]

There is a Vice video where you can see the US munitions all over houses, schools, hospitals, etc. in Yemen.

And that Orange fuck was publically giving the Saudis a wank job over their war in Yemen.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

That's not fake news then... it's just the Trump administration lying.

This. I wish people used the term "fake news" correctly. It refers to things like Pizzagate, not this, or worse, the stuff Trump calls fake news (e.g. real news).
