More like almost two weeks. And he didn't just accept it, he helped spread
it. He had the phone call with the King, said the King strongly denied it,
(same thing he says about Putin's lies), then he said that he, Trump, thought
it could be some rogues. He put forth that BS even before the Saudis suggested
it to the public.

He called it a fiasco, but he must have been referring to himself,
because he surely looked like a fool for beleiving their "firm denial".

And yesterday, after being on the right side of it for the most part,
denouncing it as wrong, the worst cover-up in history, etc, he was asked
what he's going to do about it. So then he's back to, "we have to find
out the facts". And in case you missed it, that fool Munchkin is back
on the wrong side of this too. First, as one investment group, one
country after another backed out of going to the big Saudi investment
conference, Treasury Sec Munchkin was said to be mulling over what to do.
Finally, a few days ago, he announced that he would not be going.
Instead, now we have pictures of him, smiling and sitting with the murdering
prince! That's right, he didn't go to the investment conference, instead
he went to sit with the murderer himself! What a hot mess, incompetence,
total embarrassment this bunch is.

Also, those Saudis are a piece of work. The prince met with the brother
and other Kashoggi family members to apologize and offer compensation.
Would you have gone to meet the murderer? And since they claim this is
just a rogue thing that the govt is now apologizing for, where is the
body? Why aren't the Saudis directing the Turks on how to find the body,
where it is, etc?

Also yesterday, Trump doubled down on his claim that people from the Mideast
are in the caravan of illegals on their way here. When questioned, he insisted
that he has intel, that he knows all about it, that they are mixed in.
A few minutes later, he admitted he has nothing to back it up, nothing
at all. And then dunce number two went out and told the media that it's
"inconceivable" that people from the Mideast are not in that group. Why
do these two insist on making asses of themselves, lying, misleading,
instead of just sticking to the facts?

Just another day in Crazytown. God help us when there is a real, serious
crisis facing this country.
