Within the first 30 seconds, he started attacking the Biden administration and praising his administration, how prices are down now, how many jobs he's creating, that he's $21 Trillion is invested in the US, how his genial tariffs plan brought the US from the brink of collapse. Then he said MBS Is investing $600B in the US, did he say $600B, no, it's $1 Trillion, how he attacked Iran when Biden would not be able to do it.
How he gave companies the right to build their power plants along with data centers. How well he did in the elections.
So rambling for most of it.
For a guy doing so well, he seems to really have Biden envy. I don't know whom he's trying to convince, visitors or himself. My guess is the latter.
It was mostly embarrassing.
But those flags the Marines were saluting, they will flown by 17 of 19 9/11 attackers, right?
At one point the ABC news reporter asked: Mr. President, is it appropriate for your family to be doing business with Saudi Arabia, while you're president, is that a conflict of interest? And Your Royal Highness, the US Intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9/11 families are furious that you're here in the oval office.
Trump: Who are you with?
Reporter: ABC
Trump: ABC, fake news, one of the worse in the business, but I'll answer your question: I have nothing to do with the family business. I devoted 100% of my energy, what my family does is fine and they do business all over. They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, but I'm sure they could do a lot and anything they've been has been very good. We've done a very successful business, for a very long time I've been very successful. I decided to leave that success behind and make America successful.
God bless his heart and sacrifice.
Trump continues: And the journalist? No one like him, and things happen.

A total disgrace.
For Mr Trump to say that the Saudi Prince knew nothing of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi shows what a despicable man he is.
I wonder, can Mr Trump have a journalist removed from a press conference?
I ask that because he seemed really displeased with the ABC journalist for asking such a sensitive question of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout China is now Saudi Arabia's largest trade partner. And they and China just held joint military operations code named Blue Sword.
This dumb fk in the White House just agreed to sell F35s to Saudi Arabia. What could possibly go wrong? Well I guess nothing for trump. bin Salmon can sell the tech to China and funnel trump his share through international business.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout This is what worries me about whoever makes these decisions.
I get that Trump claims to be all about business and trying to encourage growth...wherever it comes from.
(He said in the press conference that he was entertaining him to try and increase the Crown Prince's commitment for more trade/money)
But to not even rig it and invite FAVOURABLE press ?

Same as when he put perfume on a real Al Quaida head chopper in the Oval Office - it definitely means "up yours, Americans!".
You say nothing cuz you agree, as a nation.

@Northwest Two murderers meet and try to figure out how they can exploit their countrymen.
How come tRUMP has so much in common with such despicable despots as Putin, KJU, and MBS.
If he thought “Epstein” was a “horrible person” and he’s trying to refurbish his “image” why can’t he break his ties and all contact with these horrible excuses for humans?
