Anyone surprised at what Trump and his criminal family plans on doing?

Giving The Bomb to Saudi Arabia's Dr. Stranglelove
The most dangerous foreign policy decision of the Trump administration—and I know this is saying a lot—is its decision to share sensitive nuclear technology with Saudi Arabia and authorize U.S. companies to build nuclear reactors in that country. I spent seven years in the Middle East. I covered the despotic, repressive kingdom as the Middle East bureau chief for The New York Times. And I, along with most Arabists in the United States, have little doubt that giving a nuclear capability to Saudi Arabia under the leadership of the ruthless and amoral Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman would see it embark on a nuclear weapons program and eventually share weaponized technology with Saudi allies and proxies that include an array of radical jihadists and mortal enemies of America. A nuclearized Saudi Arabia is a grave existential threat to the Middle East and ultimately the United States.
The drive to build nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia is led by the half-wit son-in-law of the president, Jared Kushner, who met Tuesday with Salman in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, to discuss “ways to improve the condition of the entire region through economic investment,” according to the White House. Prominently involved in that economic program are corporations such as IP3 International, a consortium of U.S. companies led by several retired generals and admirals and others who stand to make millions from the deal......
Reminder. 11 people from Saudi Arabia, where Trump and Kushner are selling top secret nuclear bomb information to— with knowledge of the SAME gov, sent 2 planes into the Twin Towers and 2 planes into the Pentagon.— IAmComplicit (@AgeDemands) February 21, 2019
That SAME EXACT Government is being offered a nuclear weapon. https://t.co/EDWopYkQ1P

Saudi Arabia Jared Kushner Nuclear
Jared Kushner slipped quietly into Saudi Arabia this week
for a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, so the question
I’m trying to get the White House to answer is this: Did they discuss
American help for a Saudi nuclear program?
Of
all the harebrained and unscrupulous dealings of the Trump
administration in the last two years, one of the most shocking is a Trump plan to sell nuclear reactors to Saudi Arabia that could be used to make nuclear weapons.
Even
as President Trump is trying to denuclearize North Korea and Iran, he
may be helping to nuclearize Saudi Arabia. This is abominable policy
tainted by a gargantuan conflict of interest involving Kushner.
Kushner’s
family real estate business had been teetering because of a
disastrously overpriced acquisition he made of a particular Manhattan
property called 666 Fifth Avenue, but last August a company called
Brookfield Asset Management rescued the Kushners by taking a 99-year lease of the troubled property — and paying the whole sum of about $1.1 billion up front....

From The Hill
The revelations of a House Oversight Committee report on the activities of IP3,
a U.S. business group, to sell U.S. nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia
and other Middle East countries, make clear that Congress has to step in
to block U.S. reactor exports to Riyadh. Current law gives the
Executive Branch too much power in negotiating civilian nuclear
cooperative agreements with other countries.In the Saudi case, the proposed nuclear exports are all clothed in terms of providing energy to power the Kingdom’s modernization. But the first thing to understand is that the Crown Prince’s push to get nuclear technology is also about countering Iran, and that means having the wherewithal to make nuclear weapons. He has made that crystal clear in a famous CBS interview in which he said if Iran gets nuclear weapons, Saudi Arabia will follow “as soon as possible.” The Saudis already have the rockets, and we shouldn’t be surprised if they jump the gun on the nuclear warheads.....

Trump Administration To Sell Nuclear Plants to Saudi Arabia
Top Trump administration officials advocated for a plan to build dozens of nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia despite warnings that the move could pose ethical concerns and violate federal law, according to a report released by House Democrats.
The 24-page report was
compiled for the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, chaired by
Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings, who on Tuesday also announced a
widespread probe of the plan, those within the White House who were involved and the financial interests of those individuals. ...
