EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "We are not here to lecture. We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be."

AVLON: "Behold the Trump doctrine, folks. You may call it sovereignty, but it's seen by dictators as a big green light. Do business with the U.S. and you can do what you want with human rights. We don’t even have an ambassador. Trump outsourced that job to his son-in-law, who the Crown Prince reportedly bragged was in his pocket. The ties are financial as well. According to PolitiFact, the Saudis spent more than a quarter of a million dollars and counting at the Trump Hotel in Washington and Trump properties in New York and Chicago have beat downward trends with Saudi business, according to 'The Washington Post'. So when Trump said Khashoggi may have been done in by rogue killers, it certainly seemed like he was trying to give the Crown Prince an out. All the more embarrassing that according to CNN's reporting, the Saudis seemed to be ready to admit the journalist was killed in an interrogation gone wrong. We'll see if the President's promise of severe punishment is to come, but it is worth asking why a hugely inflated Saudi arms deal is worth selling out America's moral authority. That's your reality check."
