Terrorist weapons development?
What does that even mean?
A war industry?
Almost every nation has that
Also that's a bit of an odd statement to say considering the US still supports the KSA
@Yusa Do you know Saudis also heavily invest into terrorism? Sometimes with the weapons we sell them, which they don't even use for any long period?
"we want de-escalatin" "we want to sit down with iran and discuss a best approach"
So Esper and Iraqi PM are overtly in contradiction
@Puerto Rican Nelson Oh? Has Trump sold them any weapons? My sources say he hasn’t. They also say that he put sanctions on 17 Saudi officials.
Canada is not America, and is certainly not Trump.
@Yusa If this is news to you, then you have no sources at all. This happened right after Khasoggi, where Trump batted for the Saudis claiming nobody knew anything

He's going as far as telling congress to eat shit to do it

It won’t let me view the wiki page you linked me to.
He's also lied about how much money we'll make or how many jobs it will create

Building on the Saudi mega-deal – which independent analysts have determined may be as little as 10% as large as the $110 billion figure the president claims – Trump has thrown out incredible estimates of the U.S jobs generated by the Saudi sales, from 40,000 to 500,000 and up to one million if one counts related deals outside the military sphere. An estimate I did for a report by the Center for International Policy indicates that the real number of jobs generated by the roughly $2.5 billion a year in arms deliveries to Saudi Arabia over the past decade is likely 20,000 to 40,000 jobs, a tiny fraction of the more than 150 million jobs in the U.S. economy.
Oops, sorry, my bad...
One thing you need to know is that virtually every Middle Eastern power contributes to what the US will call terrorism.
You’re right. They’re all terrorists

```American Consumers, Not China, Are Paying for Trump’s Tariffs
New York Fed and academic researchers found that U.S. consumers and companies have borne the brunt of the president’s trade war.```
gotta love the tea party people that became magats
American Carnage covers that. "It wsa never about gov fiscal discipline"
no kidding, we know what it's about
```Manufacturing is slumping, a fact economists attribute at least partly to uncertainty stemming from the trade spats, and business investment has suffered as corporate executives wait to see how — or if — the tensions will end.
```
just saying
```In previous research, the authors found that by December 2018, import tariffs were costing United States consumers and importing businesses $3.2 billion per month in added taxes and another $1.4 billion per month in efficiency losses. They did not update those numbers in the latest study.
```
maybe he chats in here
```What’s more, Mr. Rouhani is still the president, contradicting Mr. Gosar’s suggestion that he is no longer “in power.” ```
naturally he couldn't just admit it was wrong
```Several fellow Twitter users quickly criticized Mr. Gosar for sharing the doctored image, prompting the congressman to defend himself by tweeting more than 40 minutes later that “no one said this wasn’t photoshopped.”
