Jamal Khashoggi's widow, Hanan Elatr Khashoggi: "Try as much as you can to save democracy and freedom of the press and speech in America. Do not be a copy of a Middle East dictatorship. We look to you as a role model of Western civilization--please maintain it."

Donald is in a narcissistic panic, attempting to manipulate things so that he is NOT QUITE OFFICIALLY identified as a sadistic, soulless monster.

I expect stonewalling.

I understand it's necessary in international politics to prepare yourself for sometimes dealing with really offensive specimens.
But genuflecting, rump smooching, slithering on your belly like some overfed reptilian in order to gain attention ...
That's the behavior of a weakling, a pass-around eunuch coffee fetcher from the harem.

The transcript will be released shortly after Der Dotard releases his tax returns ...

"We look to you as a role model of Western civilization"

You are obviously looking in the wrong place.
