Full @realDonaldTrump quote about Saudi journalist's death in a consulate in Turkey: "They had a very bad original concept. It was carried out poorly, and the cover-up was one of the worst in the history of cover-ups. Very simple. Bad deal, should have never been thought of."


..................

He basically compared the slaughter and dissection of a journalist by the saudis as basically a business deal gone wrong........

What an evil bastard.

[dchill]

1. Everything, EVERYTHING, is a deal to this cretin.

I guess a good deal would be if they had gotten away with it?

[smirkymonkey]

3. So. Hate. This. Pig.

[saidsimplesimon]

14. I understand. Time for me to log out.

[sunonmars]

4. ts basically criticizing that they were shit at covering it up and not worried a guy died.

[dchill]

5. That's the only logical take.

[notdarkyet]

2. Evil. Disgusting.

[YessirAtsaFact]

6. According to Trump, murder is not a problem but botching the coverup is

What a turd.

[rurallib]

20. Murder is just a business deal. Really makes you wonder what all is in his background

Got to wonder if he paid for some "deals"?

[magicarpet]

7. trDump says,

The form and the fashion were all wrong.

But the end result of murdering a journalist in such a gruesome and barbaric way is something he can appreciate, understand and sympathize with.

(trDump only wishes that was a specific Executive Privilege the US Constitution stipulated and allowed was readily available to him at his desire and whim.)

8. Trump farted

His area of expertise...
greatest achievement

[MFM008]

9. Meaning they

Got caught.
Being caught is not "Winning."

[sunonmars]

10. Yup, Trump hates people who get caught. He regards them as useless morons.

[spanone]

11. he's the dumbest sonofabitch to walk the face of the earth

[jcgoldie]

12. Level 1 Stage 1 Moral thinking characteristic of an infant...

21. Nice graph, but I don't think it applies.

Trumpy has no interest in doing the right or wrong thing. He's only interested in what pleases him, and he has NO regard for how his actions may affect others. He's very concerned about whether he still has power over them, but has no regard for their internal state, their quality of life, or their prospects for the future. NONE.

Trumpy is pleased if he can hurt or damage someone if it means that he'll benefit. So he intentionally hurts people so that he can benefit from the hurt, the aftermath, or the payoff. The rightness or wrongness of an action, or the consequences, doesn't enter into his thinking except for the way in which the action benefits HIM.

For the life of me, I can't understand how his base continues to delude themselves into thinking that they're on some kind of Trumpy Train Ride, and that he'll pull everyone (who's white) up to his level of material comfort. This delusion HAS to be a big part of their personal investment.

Nearly all of the people who risked their lives to defeat fascism in the 1940s are now dead. We have no personal memories to recall how vile and evil a man like Hitler was, even though he controlled millions and killed millions. My father and four uncles served in WWII. They're all dead. They all knew how evil Hitler was. They all knew he killed millions of innocents. They all knew that if he were successful in the war effort, we'd lose our Bill of Rights and our Constitution, and we'd be ruled by a singular dictator. Now, with nearly all of the personal memories gone from the Earth, we have another white nationalist who is trying to rule by fiat and will abandon the Rule of Law if given the slightest opportunity. He's Trumpy, and we are on the precipice of social destruction and chaos. If the Dems don't take the House (and the GOP may have already designed a "surprise" victory by way of election fraud), we're finished as a democratic republic. We WILL become a dictatorship. Guaranteed.

25. In Trump-think, if he wants it, whatever "it" might...

...be, then whatever he has to do to get “it” is right and justifiable.

[NastyRiffraff]

13. It's not a TV pilot!

Nobody's pitching an "original concept," you bloated tangerine cretin.

He's looking for reruns.

[Nasruddin]

15. It makes you wonder

It makes you wonder how many of these original concepts Boss Trump has had carried out himself.

It would be wrong not to speculate, wouldn't it?

[JI7]

16. he seems upset that they were not able to cover it up

[Eyeball_Kid]

23. Common sense explanation:

Trumpy and MBS had lengthy conversations about the plans to murder Khashoggi. MBS knew that Trumpy would do NOTHING substantial way ahead of time. Trumpy also knew (this is fact) from his intelligence network that Khashoggi was in danger weeks before his murder, but said nothing to alert Khashoggi. Let's be clear: he knew that the reporter was in mortal danger, but said nothing. He said nothing because he wanted something from MBS, likely money, and didn't want to give MBS a hard time. So he let it ride. He allowed Khashoggi to be murdered as a FAVOR to MBS, so that NOW, MBS owes Trumpy something. This explanation is completely consistent with Trumpy's "transactional" way of delivering evil. It's for personal gain. Always.

17. Kick

It's beyond evil!

[Kurt V.]

18. he* has no low

[Eyeball_Kid]

19. The Fascist way: No sympathy for the victim BECAUSE he's not pure white.

But for Trumpy, there isn't sympathy for anyone. You're right. Trumpy was forced to weigh in. He didn't want to because then he's on the record for being for or against a brutal murder by a present and future BUSINESS PARTNER. Trumpy isn't about people. He's about MONEY.

His stupid Fanboys. They are literally stupid. The imagine that Trumpy is for them, and they'll die on that hill of deception. Trumpy couldn't give a shit about any of them, and they really don't know it. And again, you're right. He's an evil bastard. Pure evil.

22. Come on, people

You can't tell me that you respect this clown playing our president. You can't be that far gone.

[Honeycombe8]

24. OMG. What a callous way to speak of murder & dismemberment. nt

[Wintryjade]

27. His comment is like saying the mistake was in the poor planning of the murder.

Not the murder and dismemberment.

[Wintryjade]

26. Right. Having the son show up to be made to shake the hand of the man that murdered his father

Is pretty profound.

If Trump has been dragged to the point of acknowledging this planned murder, I want to hear the disgust having the son shake the man's hand for the world to view.

[LuckyCharms]

28. Yup. I just screamed at the TV (CBS News)...

I screamed WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER?

I've about had enough of this asshole.

[Dave Starsky]

29. Our President is publicly critiquing a botched assassination.

Let that sink in. The President of the United States of America is publicly critiquing the murder of a journalist. Our President is letting us all know that they just didn't kill him right. They should have killed him differently.

This is beyond insane.

[Martin Eden]

30. The REAL PROBLEM with the MURDER of this journalist

... is that it was poorly carried out and the denial lacks plausibility.
