this entire kerfuffle looks like inside baseball,or inthis case as the kingdom turns style soap opera with the younger heir strutting his stuff and getting away with it.
To me it looks clear that bin Salman has done this in conjunction with Trump’s knowledge, as Kushner went there a few days before. This is basically helping drain our swamp by getting rid of corruption in SA. And very likely forestalling a planned coup against the king and bin Salman.
