The Saudi Crown Prince must have given Trump a gold key chain or something else Trump considers more important than a human life.

It's traditional for new presidents to take their first trip to another country to visit Canada, our closest ally and neighbor. But he took his first trip to Saudi Arabia, no doubt persuaded by Jared. And we know what the outcome was for Jared - and certainly his father-in-law has the same motivations - $.
