Trump sold $8bn of weapons to Saudi Arabia, in the face of huge opposition even from congress. Combine that with killing the Iran nuclear deal so the region is vastly less stable, war industry is doing just great.
Trump also allowed the Saudis to murder and dismember a US journalist with zero consequences.

I mean the Saudis are linked to 9/11 and Bush chose to launch into forever war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s a fundamental element of the populist scepticism that “respectable” politicians are competent at anything. And something like one murder is precisely the type of sickening academic response about decency that somehow is supposed to shield the decades of foreign policy mishaps, atrocities and incompetence.
