Only an idiot real estate guy complains about charging rent without thinking about...diplomacy or even national security or what, foreign policy
There’s just one problem with this. There isn’t supposed to be an American military base in Saudi Arabia. This revelation could and should mean huge consequences for Donald Trump, who has called for the arrest and indictment of Hillary Clinton for mishandling of classified emails.
Trump is now complaining "we pay rent for our base to Saudi Arabia"
According to the government, Donald Rumsfeld was supposed to have closed the American base in Saudi Arabia right after 9/11. If what Trump is saying is not just another of his made up facts, that means that a secret military base is now public.
If there is now a US military base in Saudi, it is classified and mentioning it should have legal consequences.twitter.com/...
The consequences of Trump’s actions today are not yet, and may never be, made known to the public. However, you can be certain that the location of that base was classified for a reason, and now that protection has been compromised.
