Loman loppuminen ja pakkaaminen voi tuntua ikävältä. Jopa niin ikävältä, että laukkujen kasaaminen oven eteen tuntuu hyvältä ajatukselta. Säärebori. Lomia, joiden et soisi loppuvan. Hyvät kollegat, mikä hämminki on sloganissa We Have Little Prices? Eikö meillä pitäis olla Prisma Prices? Little Prices on parempi. Laita joo toi sloganiksi. Ei huono. Prisma Selection, Little Prices. Hyvää stormausta, jengi.

Donald Trump just wrapped up a disastrous press conference with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, MBS. This was one of the most bizarre press conferences we've seen. Also, Donald Trump blew up at members of the press when they asked questions. Specifically, he started screaming at female reporters who were asking him good questions. Just take a look at some of these photos from the Oval Office of Donald Trump with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Look at Donald Trump. He's like flirting with the crown prince, and he's like giddy to be there with this weird golden bordello oval office. Here's some more photos. Here's another photo, another photo. Really bizarre stuff. But when a reporter asked a very serious question about Donald Trump's family doing business with Saudi Arabia at the same time the United States intends to transfer F-35 fighter jets and nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia,
Ben Meiselas 1:35
Doesn't that present a conflict of interest? And the reporter also says, what is your view about the fact that you have MBS here as part of this PR tour while he murdered a journalist, Khashoggi, and did it in a blatant and disgusting way? What's your view about that? Then Donald Trump just starts yelling at the reporter. Here, play this clip.
ABC News Reporter 1:58
Is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you're president? Is that a conflict of interest? And, Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9-11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Who are you with? Who are you with? And the same to you, Mr. President.
Donald Trump 2:17
Now, who are you with?
ABC News Reporter 2:18
I'm with ABC News, sir.
Donald Trump 2:19
You're with who?
ABC News Reporter 2:19
ABC News, sir.
Donald Trump 2:20
Fake news, ABC fake news.

What happened during Trump's press conference with the Saudi Crown Prince?

Donald Trump 2:22
One of the worst in the business. But I'll answer your question. I have nothing to do with the family business. I have left and I've devoted 100% of my energy. What my family does is fine. They do business all over. They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually. I'm sure they could do a lot. And anything they've done has been very good. That's what we've done. We've built a tremendous business for a long time. I've been very successful. I decided to leave that success behind and make America very successful. And I've made America more successful by far than it ever was. And that it ever could have been, no matter who was president, there would be nobody bringing in $21 trillion. That I can tell you right now.
Donald Trump 3:02
As far as this gentleman is concerned, he's done a phenomenal job. You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. You don't have to embarrass our guests by asking a question like that. It's okay. Just to ask, Mr. President. Please, go ahead.
Ben Meiselas 3:22
So you hear Donald Trump there saying that MBS is entirely innocent of the Khashoggi torture and murder, and he attacks the reporter for bringing it up, and he attacks America's intelligence, which clearly shows that MBS was behind the murder and torture of Khashoggi. I mean, this is utterly despicable. Donald Trump is asked another question by that reporter about why are you even waiting for Congress to take a vote to release the Epstein files? Why don't you release the files now? And then Donald Trump blows up at that reporter again. Here, play this clip.
Donald Trump 3:57
Is that pretty good?
ABC News Reporter 3:58
Mr. President, why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
Donald Trump 4:05
It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude.
