>There’s just one problem with this. There isn’t supposed to be an American military base in Saudi Arabia. This revelation could and should mean huge consequences for Donald Trump, who has called for the arrest and indictment of Hillary Clinton for mishandling of classified emails.
>According to the government, Donald Rumsfeld was supposed to have closed the American base in Saudi Arabia right after 9/11. If what Trump is saying is not just another of his made up facts, that means that a secret military base is now public. Could this be why the 29 pages took so long to come out?
Holy shit I'm actually not on the trump train and think he'd make a terrible president but if this is true this is some snowden-tier heroism.
Parker Harris
He does it again, the goddamned genius.
He just took control of the media cycle AGAIN
And the retards keep falling for it, over and over.
Connor Ross
You can have a closed base in Saudi Arabia and still post tent for it.
Brayden Sanders
This is classified? We've been hearing about US bases in Saudi Arabia for years.
William Anderson
>If what Trump is saying is not just another of his made up facts, that means that a secret military base is now public.
So it's nothing then
Bentley Thompson
wut? We've always known about bases in SA
Nathaniel Brooks
>media keeps trying to paint Trump as a traitor because they know Shillary will inevitably be indicted Their tears of desperation form puddles I gleefully stomp in to the tune of Singing in the Rain.
Everyone knows that we still use facilities in Saudi Arabia
Some journalists are just masturbating to the thought that this remark was part of the super secret security briefings that Trump gets
Bentley Fisher
So Trump, being a civilian, with no security clearance, was able to tell there was a US base is Saudi Arabia? How is this his fault? Should be the fault of the members who leaked the information.
Jason Butler
In case it wasn't clear, this is apparently a product of the Intelligence Briefings he became eligible to receive as Party Nominee, which begs 2 questions:
1. Do Third Party nominees like Gary Johnson (Libertarian) & Jill Stein (Green) with sufficient ballot access to theoretically win the electoral college also receive such briefings?
2. Why are people that are not already President given such information in the first place if they care about confidentiality in the first place?
the media really shouldnt have thrown absolutely everything at him during the primaries. they have nothing left other than to constantly fall for obvious bait and keep him in the news cycle 24/7, because it's worked so well so far, right?
Josiah Taylor
GO TRUMP GO
Samuel Nguyen
Everybody knows we have bases in Saudi Arabia
Cameron Ortiz
there are 4 non secret bases in saudi arabia. what's the difference?
you remind me of the 'elite marine' that posted here a few weeks ago and all he had wver done is convoy security.
yea, no shit op. we have bases in saudi arabia. welcome to 1960.
Luis Rogers
I can hear it now
>you're endangering our oppositions in the Middle East you traitor! Don't you know that us having troops stationed in a nation that funds terrorism is vital to our national security!
Alexander Watson
Hes been saying this for months tho.
He talked about this many many many rallies ago, talking about how they make so much fucking money from oil, and dont pay us shit for protecting them. Look it up, probably 4 or 5 months ago he said it.
Elijah Moore
Looks like twitter strikes again.
>This story was reported based on information from several sources. Upon further review, those sources seem to have come from a single source with unverifiable information.

Blake Turner
I find it fucking hilarious how the media time and time again has been suckered into repeated ambushes by Trump, yet use the term "arrogantly spoke" in an attempt to shine light on a supposed faux pas. NOTHING HE SAYS OR DOES IS AN ACCIDENT - A FUCKING ROCK HAS A SHORTER LEARNING CURVE THAN THE MEDIA.
Xavier Miller
He's been saying we pay rent for bases in SA since day 1 of his campaign.
I've heard him say that at least 20 times at rallies over the months. Seems these reporters cannot bring themselves to report anything accurately.
Camden Rodriguez
they literally could have asked any military member and got laughed at liberal """news""" outlets
Gavin Taylor
we have had three bases there and what's wrong with mentioning history?

Thomas Foster
He started saying it a year ago, so it's literally impossible that it could have come from his intel briefings. Just more lazy lib reporting.
Noah Carter

Why would presidential candidates be briefed? This is completely unnecessary and just invites information leaks.

Yeah, what the fuck.
Ethan Reed
>h-h-how c-c-could trump want us to be punished for this! HE'S CENSORING THE PRESS! this is what I fucking hate the media needs to be responsible for publishing lies and slander no, that's not anti-free press you can't just pass shit off as facts when it's not true
Connor Long
If there aren't supposed to be any military bases in Saudi, then why does a civilian know about them?
That's the more pressing question.
Leo Edwards
Sup Forums I just realized something
Who is Yaroslav Trofimov?
By over-reaching here and thinking Trump was talking about "le secret military base" when he was not, is Yaroslav himself revealing something we shouldn't know? Is he violating HIS intel briefing?
Chase Morales
Access to intelligence briefings are at the discretion of the President. In any event, the intelligence briefings nominees receive are less sensitive and complete than the ones the President receives. I'd be more worried about Hillary trading secrets for campaign cash than Trump shooting off to make a point,
Jordan Reyes
You really think trump is some kind of genius huh?
He's not a genius.
Asher James
In short, they need to be kept abreast of developing and ongoing situations that they may have to deal with when they become President. Its a way for getting them all up to speed so they are mission capable day one of their presidency.
Like what the actual fuck its not classified, thanks for the news headlines faggots, enjoy saying sorry to trump once you learned how much you idiots fucked up.

Do you guys really not understand what this is? The article is mocking Trump for being ignorant about there being no bases in Saudi Arabia. Trump doesn't have any secret military information. This is an embarrassing moment for you guys
Brandon Thomas
Fortunately, Trump has plans for such shady practices. But I suppose that's another reason they're so eager to shill against him.
Xavier Watson
Written by someone who never watched a Trump rally before
He talks about it all the time
Andrew Kelly
The idea is to avoid surprises and to have a new President ready to respond to foreign policy issues when they take office.
You are correct, we do not pay rent on our base in Saudi Arabia because we do not have a base.
We have baseS plural.
Zachary Lopez
Yea this is fake as shit.
He said the same thing at a rally I went to in Iowa.

Journalism. I feel like the memetic warfare division might be able to put this to use.
And the US does have bases in Saudi Arabia that are public knowledge.
>Eskan Village, officially named Eskan Village Air Force Compound, is a U.S. military compound located 20 kilometers south-east of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The base is home to the 64th Air Expeditionary Group, Office of the Program Manager - Facilities Security Force (OPM-FSF), Office of the Program Manager Saudi Arabian National Guard Modernization Program (OPM-SANG), and the United States Military Training Mission in Saudi Arabia (USMTM).
Why would they be briefing a civilian? Makes absolutely no sense
Nicholas Nguyen

I repeat my statement from here. >In short, they need to be kept abreast of developing and ongoing situations that they may have to deal with when they become President. Its a way for getting them all up to speed so they are mission capable day one of their presidency.
Gabriel Moore
Um. This isn't a secret. We never got rid of the bases, in fact there are at least 5 of them. Someone is getting trolled. Is this a satire site?
You implied it because you then added "this is an embarrassing moment for us."
So care to stop being fucking cryptic and explain how it's embarrassing for us, when it should be embarrassing for the journo who penned the false article?
Adam Brooks
you realize there's a 2 month interim after winning the election, right?
Jackson Mitchell
Read the thread. The bases are public knowledge, not classified
Matthew Stewart
Except it isn't classified...
Google even says we have bases in Saudi Arabia .
Mason Green
Again, you didn't read the thread. Trump has been saying we pay rent for SA bases since over a year ago now. So how could that have anything to do with his intel briefings, which he has apparently not even received yet?
All that happened here is some lazy journo watched the latest Colorado Springs rally, while having not watched any of Trump's previous rallies (for over a year), and thought he said something new (when he had not) and tried to make a connection that isn't there.
Juan Cruz
Reply: The base was shut down stupids, it was supposed to be classified that it remains opened. Now he puts countless lives in danger.
Because you faggots think the journalist believes Trump had information about a secret military base when in reality the journalist was making fun of Trump for being ignorant. Whether there is a base in SA or not is irrelevant. Again, very embarrassing moment for you. Sad!
When they say it's a secret they don't mean from the world.
They mean they won't mention it on the TV.
Cooper Moore
It was shut down later that year, we have started moving out in 2008.
Nathan Nguyen
>US MILITARY BASE IN SAUDI ARABIA
Jose Bell

Jeremiah Watson
He was talking about safe zones run by the US in other counties fro refugees you tool.
Nolan Morris
We literally have operational bases in Saudi Arabia that are public knowledge.
>Eskan Village Air Force Compound, is a U.S. military compound located 20 kilometers south-east of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The base is home to the 64th Air Expeditionary Group, Office of the Program Manager - Facilities Security Force (OPM-FSF), Office of the Program Manager Saudi Arabian National Guard Modernization Program (OPM-SANG), and the United States Military Training Mission in Saudi Arabia (USMTM).
And then someone pointed out to you that we in fact DO still have bases in SA and that is public knowledge, therefore making Trump not ignorant. And that's when you got all cryptic and snarky because you've been BTFO.
Also the article literally gets its source from some dude on Twitter who claims the bases are "secret" and Trump violated his intel briefings. Did you even read it? BTFO again.
Libtards so desperate to find something on Trump they pounce on false information yet again. Sad!
Isaiah Robinson
>Trump has talked about countries not paying for our military assistance >Trump has brought up Saudi Arabia as an example as far back as 1986, and only recently during the primaries >LOOKS LIKE WE GOT HIM, GET THE SCOOP OUT BEFORE ANYONE ELSE >what, people fact-checked, and Trump said all that BEFORE the briefing? >uh, we're very sorry that facts didn't let you fall to the narrative and that we've destroyed all our credibility >just an honest mistake, and not a desperate attempt to stump the Trump after all attacks have failed
We really need stronger libel laws so the media can stop publishing such bullshit, and effectively pushing an agenda to however has the cash to push it; ignoring all fact and reality. Nullifying the Washington Post press credentials wasn't enough.
Robert Gonzalez
Use that god-awful shouting-fire-in-theater explanation against the media on how we can curtail their first amendment. If they cause 'panics' then we need to prosecute them for endangering lives.
Eli Roberts

I didn't say Trump was ignorant, I said the author was making that claim. I'm not being cryptic, you just have poor reading comprehension
Landon Lopez
Can anybody explain why Trump has access to classified information? I understand Hillary having access, she was the secretary of state for fucking years. Why does Trump know about secret bases?
Anthony Jones
Theres been a base in Riyadh literally since Desert Storm or earlier, and there was a big hoopaloo about female servicefemales off post, so big army and AF just decided to stop letting women leave post
