I'm so done with this whole situation, you feel? Like, what even is the message here? President Trump basically tells us that it's okay for a powerful dude like Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to order someone's murder because... Khashoggi was "controversial"? 
That's not an excuse, that's just plain messed up.And meanwhile, the prince himself is trying to own up to the mistake, but in a super vague way. Like, if you say something's a "huge mistake" without actually admitting to doing it, does that really count as accountability? It seems like Trump and the Saudi crown prince are playing a game of "who can pretend the hardest", and it's getting old fast.
The fact that we're still having this conversation 5 years after Khashoggi's murder is just sad. Where were all these questions and outrage when he was still alive? Why is it only now that Trump is speaking out (or not speaking out, rather)? It's like the world just moved on from Jamal Khashoggi without giving his memory the respect it deserves.
I'm calling BS on this whole situation. We need to hold our leaders accountable for their actions, and we need to make sure that people like Jamal Khashoggi aren't silenced or erased from history.
