Vile. So, SO vile 🤯

“You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial,” Mr. Trump said, referring to Mr. Khashoggi. “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about. Whether you like him, or didn’t like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it, and we can leave it at that.”

Mohammed, when I said "You gotta take care of that journalist, chop-chop!", I didn't mean it literally!
