Ah, so they can stick it to the Muslims. Gotcha.

Between this, recognising the Venezuelan opposition and asking Europe to jail captured ISIS members, Trump is doing wonders for my master thesis.

Iirc, Trump said he'd protect LGBT people from Islam. Incredibly ironic given the threat his voters pose to LGBT rights.

Money or provoking Iran, or both. Those are the only “reasons” that someone would try this. At least that I can think of.

Sane Outcasts wrote:Trump Administration is Trying to Transfer American Nuclear Technology to Saudi Arabia

The Trump administration sought to rush the transfer of American nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia in potential violation of the law, a new report from the House Oversight and Reform Committee alleges.

Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings' staff issued an "interim staff" report Tuesday, citing "multiple whistleblowers" who raised ethical and legal concerns about the process.

"They have warned about political appointees ignoring directives from top ethics advisers at the White House who repeatedly and unsuccessfully ordered senior Trump administration officials to halt their efforts," the report states. "They have also warned of conflicts of interest among top White House advisers that could implicate federal criminal statutes."

I feel like predictions about the end of the Mueller investigation are starting to resemble 'end of the world' predictions. Always juuuuuuuust around the corner.
Attorney General Bill Barr is preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, with plans for Barr to submit to Congress soon after a summary of Mueller's confidential report, according to people familiar with the plans.
The preparations are the clearest indication yet that Mueller is nearly done with his almost two-year investigation.
The precise timing of the announcement is subject to change.
The scope and contours of what Barr will send to Congress remain unclear. Also unclear is how long it will take Justice officials to prepare what will be submitted to lawmakers.

But with President Donald Trump soon to travel overseas for a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Justice officials are mindful of not interfering with the White House's diplomatic efforts, which could impact the timing.
The Justice Department and the special counsel's office declined to comment.

Survivor: White House Episode who's keeping track
White House officials have begun to have preliminary discussions about replacing Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats amid concerns that President Donald Trump may soon dismiss him, two senior administration officials told CNN, despite the President's public denial he's considering the move.
The conversations began this week in the West Wing after Trump spent the holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago venting to friends and advisers about the director of national intelligence, renewing his gripes about Coats' testimony before Congress last month. In that testimony, Coats publicly contradicted Trump's optimistic forecast about the chances North Korea will agree to give up its nuclear weapons.
Despite the venting, Trump on Wednesday told reporters: "I haven't even thought about it." But the President has also previously denied reports of staff shakeup only to later confirm them with his actions.

So, removed all those that dare contradict what I say? Sounds about right. Why fucking have any staff when he's basically going to undermine them and do what he wants anyway? The CEO mentality is stronger in him than I expected.
