President Donald Trump said Thursday that relations between the United States and Saudi Arabia are “excellent,” but that it would be a “very sad thing” if it turns out they did murder Washington Post contributer Jamal Khashoggi.
“That would be a very sad thing and we’ll probably know in the very short future,” Trump said during a call to Fox and Friends. “We have incredible people and incredible talent working on it. We don’t like it. I don’t like it. No good.”

Oh my. Not just “sad”, but “very sad”.
One step down from “double plus ungood”.
One hopes that the US does not face a crisis that requires a response in words of more than one syllable.
Oh, but Donald, there are good people on both sides of Saudi assassination squads.
It’s only a Journalist.
Someone has to teach him some new adjectives. I now hate the sound of sad or tremendous or terrific or yuge…
In other words, Trump totally knew in advance.
