Adrastos at First Draft has Trump’s Sordid Saudi Word Salad, a punny take on Trump’s press release for MBS and the Saudi government. [He & Kushner owe the Saudis a lot of money, so what did you expect.]

That piece of foreign policy malfeasance opens the path for Iranian trolling:

Iran’s foreign minister has mocked President Donald Trump’s announcement that he will not punish the Saudi leadership for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate last month.

In a tweet sent late Tuesday, Mohammad Javad Zarif noted that Trump “bizarrely devotes the FIRST paragraph of his shameful statement on Saudi atrocities to accuse IRAN of every sort of malfeasance he can think of.”

He went on to joke that “perhaps we’re also responsible for the California fires, because we didn’t help rake the forests— just like the Finns do?”

Then Trump decides to insult a woman:

Trump sent a tweet late Tuesday celebrating the White House Correspondents’ Association’s decision to have biographer Ron Chernow headline this year’s dinner after “so-called comedian Michelle Wolf bombed so badly last year.”

“I bet you’d be on my side if I had killed a journalist. #BeBest,” Wolf tweeted in reply, simultaneously mocking the president’s response to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s alleged role in Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder and the slogan for first lady Melania Trump’s initiative.

Give it a rest Donald, she has better hair and is a hell of a lot smarter than you are 😈

Trump then gets into a dispute with the man who will preside over his impeachment hearing: Chief Justice Roberts rebukes Trump’s ‘Obama judge’ gibe.
