Last word with Lawrence O'Donnell starts right now. Hey, Lawrence.

Hey, Jen. I really enjoyed hearing Ben Rhodes described to you what it was like sometimes when countries didn't understand that they can't accept gifts, something that the Trump administration is not exactly holding up their end on.

I think, you know, all of those Trump staffers on Air Force One

should have their pockets checked when they're coming back into this country. Most public servants,

when you have a suitcase of jewels left in your hotel room, you call the lawyers and you run for

the hills because you don't want to be anywhere near it. That's what happens most of the case.

We're not in those times anymore.

No, we are not.

We've entered this new era where the idea of the presidency is try to make as much money as possible for yourself

and, you know, a little for your family while you're at it.

That seems to be the whole point of this week.

And Musk and other billionaires. Yes, them too. Thanks, Jen. Thanks, Lawrence.

Thank you. Well, tonight Donald Trump is on his corrupt thank you tour of Middle Eastern

dictatorships. And as usual, on the Trump presidency, the first official foreign trip to another

country was once again to Saudi Arabia, exactly what he did

in his first presidency. Donald Trump, no doubt, took the opportunity to thank the corrupt

dictator of Saudi Arabia, who American intelligence sources say ordered the dismemberment murder

of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi during Donald Trump's first presidency,

a murder that Donald Trump had absolutely no problem with at the time because he said,

of course, we have to keep doing business with murderous dictators like that.

Donald Trump has billions of reasons to thank that murderous dictator, Mohammed bin Salman,

who gave $2 billion to Donald Trump's son-in-law to play with.
