someone who is not personally and business connected to them and not that much in their hands because of other mistakes he did (like iran embargo).

trump has made itself and america dependent on such rogue states and can't do anything.

any sanctions would risk his own business, that of his son, and the supply of required oil to the united states. and also the saudies know that and have now been able to eliminate the man without fearing reprisals because their position is stronger than that of trump.

trump is a blackmailable amateur mafiosi not able to play in the league of this guys.
