I'll bet he's thankful too. A multi-millionaire from flogging right wing propaganda as the truth, and with the complicity of the intelligence agencies with whom he works in an unofficial capacity.
With international complaints about war crimes mounting, and a vote on US involvement in Yemen having just been derailed by the Congressional leadership, another vote on Saudi weapons sales is likely forthcoming, following reports the Saudis have made deals for another $7 billion in US arms related to the war.
Details of exactly what is being bought aren’t totally clear, with the State Department yet to officially disclose it to Congress. The deals are with Raytheon and Boeing, and are described as “precision guided munitions.”

Note who the Saudis are buying weapons from: Boeing.
Yes, that's Boeing of the military-industrial complex who expects to get $50 billion of the $350 billion deal that Bomber Trump agreed during his treasonous trip to Riyadh in May this year, after he had accused the Saudis of complicity in 9/11. Boeing is the main driver of the Dow Jones Index which Bomber Trump now points to as a indicator that his policies are working!
Say what?!
Flogging weapons to a medieval anti-democratic warmongering terrorist nation to bomb starving children to bits is economic success?
NO!
NO!
NO!
This is sick, dudes.
SICK!!
This is not the shining beacon of hope that America should be. This is just exporting death so that Alex Jones can stuff his face full of dead turkey and raise a glass to Trump's so-called 'success'.
And it looks like...surprise, surprise...the Saudis have reneged on their agreement to lift their Trump-backed blockade of Yemen.
Despite promising earlier this week that they would lift the blockade on northern Yemen at noon on Thursday, the time came and went, and UN and other humanitarian aid ships continue to be prevented from accessing the port of Hodeidah.
Northern Yemen is facing calamitous shortages related to the Saudi blockade, with many dying in recent weeks from the lack of medicine, thousands dying from a cholera epidemic that is among the worst in human history, and warnings that millions will soon be going from malnutrition to outright famine.
Despite having made a very public point of their plan to ease the blockade, at least as it relates to certain humanitarian ships, the Saudis have made no comment since then, and it’s puzzling why they announced it at all if they didn’t intend to allow the ships in.
