Rep. Justin Amash Blasts Trump For 'Selling' American Troops To Saudis

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Conservative Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.) accused Donald Trump Saturday of “selling” American troops to Saudi Arabia after the president boasted that the nation has deposited $1 billion into a bank he did not identify for “more troops.”

“He sells troops,” Amash tersely noted in a tweet.

Other critics erupted on Twitter over a possible future in which U.S. soldiers could be sent as mercenaries to any high-bidding country to risk their lives, regardless of a nation’s ideology or rationale for fighting.

Others argued the country doesn’t deserve American support because of Saudi Arabia’s link to the vicious dismemberment murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was writing at the time for The Washington Post. Some pointed out that most of the hijackers in the 9/11 attack were Saudis.

And some wondered exactly where the Saudi $1 billion is.

1. there simply is no point low enough for Trump

OR his supporters

[stuffmatters]

2. Yep. He's now selling our military as slaves to the Saudis.

[lunatica]

3. He's actually pulled us down to lows we didn't know existed

Really. He’s done some things I didn’t think human beings would do openly for all the world to see. Especially ones who were so protective and enamored of their public image.

I think he’s probably even surprised himself at the lows he’s gone to.

[calimary]

4. Nope. Probably looks like up, to him.

He thinks he’s doing fine. The sad part is that so many voters agree.

For the life of me, I do not see how.

5. A perfect example of drunk with power

Time for more house investigations.

6. Where is the Saudi $1 billion?

What bank is it in?

Is it in a personal piggy bank for the the grifters squatting in the WH?

[llmart]

7. +1000

Where is it? I'm guessing part of it is in Jarvanka's offshore accounts.

11. Ha, he wouldn't let them get their greedy snouts on this, it's HIS and he doesn't share.

Yep it would be extremely interesting to see where the money went - unnumbered Swiss bank accounts or maybe it's in the Caymans?

8. Why can't he market and sell what belongs to him?

They are HIS. Just ask him.

F*king dirtbag.

9. He's a good messenger for the Democratic Party.

10. He's correct

We are renting our troops.
