Saudi Arabia is the chief example of this approach.

And they aren't even GOOD economics... let's be clear.

Why are we responsible for Muslims being savages again?

In other news, the sun is hot as fuck

Relations between America and Saudi Arabia have been strong and every president in America knows this is just what is known as Saudi Arabia for America. The Saudi file in truth is the best file from all the countries in the world in human rights.

I think calling the murdering of Khashoggi a human rights violation is a huge understatement. Trump broke his oath to the Constitution by choosing a terrorist (Saudi Bin Sal) over a US resident reporter who is protected by the Constitution.

Unfortunately, you hate Trump because he is clever first.And they hate him because he is from the Republican Party.True democracy is built on truthfulness, but your newspaper is a liar in the news. Saudi Arabia is in America's favor.Human rights in Saudi Arabia are betterAmerica

It's not economics. It's greed. trump's greed.

You are a well known international newspaper. But sometimes the strong reputation will be lying. We and America are friends. But your newspaper wants to reverse that why? Because you hate Saudi Arabia, unfortunately. Check your accounts and let the news lie

Please change the title to Trump's America First agenda often puts 'his' economics above human rights.

It has always been this way in USA. And for largely the world. What happens in Israel, Yemen? How many innocent people died in Bush Jihad in Iraq and Afghanistan? How many journalist did Saudi kill already? What about Turkey? What about american natives?

Why you sound so shocked? Of course he does.

America First is straight up nationalism. Nationalism is what allowed the Holocaust to happen. It is the idea that nation goals allow citizens to ignore crimes against groups (like journalists) in the name of national good. GOP is showing where they stand by their silence.

StopYourHateWapo Please

I think you meant-- Trump's 'Trump First' agenda often puts Trump's economics above America and human rights.

Oh god, as if SA didn't have any human rights issues before Trump. Mass executions have been happening for decades while Rs and Ds were in office as presidents.

I expect this from an entrepreneur profit first

Can someone please remind realdonaldtrump that most of the terrorist from 9/11 were Saudis, including the Bin Laden family.

Not often .....always

They might be “human rights” in the US but most other countries do not think the same

Shouldn't come as a shock Bush allowed the bin Laden's out the US. This shit is all a game the ultra wealthy is playing StayWoke.

We're not the world's police department

Often? Always

I am sorry. But he cannot. He doesn't have the right or the power to change what America stands for. He has little idea of why America has standing in the world and no single election can change two hundred years of standing for values. He should resign.

Sometimes you have to for the good on the whole...

Like at Benghazi

Trump puts trump economics first above all others.

So on the slippery slope here let's move this up the proverbial ladder. What if MBS killed the mayor of Washington DC not high enough about a congressman from Idaho Lindsey Grahams pretty boisterous does Donald reassess the cost-benefit analysis?

creepy

If Trump says 'America first' then why can't I say Islam first?

“Often”? I can appreciate the effort to be even handed, but isn’t it more accurate to say Trump will always put economics, or more accurately, simply money over human rights?

So far realDonaldTrump AmericaFirst has meant Putin first, Saudi Arabia first, Kim Jong Un first, Corporations first. Coal companies first. Polluters first. Trump's family first. With so many ahead of us, the American People are last down a long line of hands out.

Unfortunately, you turned a big newspaper with a weight in the world of journalism into a newspaper full of rumors and mercenaries. Your agenda has become more profitable. New nonsense of the Washington Post

You people at the post grasp at every straw possible to deny results! What trump has done and is continuing to do is good and you, the democrats and anti American left can't stand it!

How about 911?

Often? Always. Plus ca change.

One small change, often should be replaced with always

You don't get to decide priorities. Ie You never made much of the Dem Pres Administration Leadership failure to even make an effort to prevent the deaths of Americans at Benghazi

Human rights? Since when does americans are intetested in humans rights not thinking about their own intetest first? Americans are very selective 'human right wise'. -saudis murdering a guy = bad - mass drone bombing of civilians = good... Because 'Merica!

Above human rights and lives !!!!!!

Why is this a surprise, or even “news”? This is the MO of a malignant narcissist, and Trump follows the MN playbook without wavering. “America First” IS Trump, ergo, it comes ahead of every other consideration, including family, ethics, morality. He will NEVER change.

Often? Can we have one example, just one, where the opposite happened?

We, Saudis, sincerely believe that AlSaud Family is our family. So, don’t think by targeting them you are safe from our wrath! The royal family is a red line, cross it and you will face 20million soldiers!

🇸🇦

Saudi Arabia is here to stay, with its beloved ruling family and its loyal people. Trying to change this reality will only exhaust and frustrate you mentally and emotionally; it ain’t going to happen. We are here to stay, so deal with it🇸🇦

Unfortunately the republicans seem to put economics above everything in this day and age.

Because he’s greedy, all about him!

Trump and kushner 'pockets' first

At least he KNOWS economics - Obama didn’t and we had cash flying out of the country on PLANES. So, stuff a pipe in it, WaPo. You act like Obama did nothing wrong. He did, repeatedly. Trump? Absolutely, but at a faster rate? Naugh.

Saudi Arabia is a great country and you are in the Washington Post, the human rights of Turkey, Qatar, and Iran, from which you received dirty money, terrorist countries, how many children were killed in the world, and in America they are the ones who supported Osama bin Laden

How many children die during Obama administration?

What did Obama do in Libya Syria Yemen. Bush do in Iraq.. You guys taught the world customer is always right...

Trump first. No one else. Why are we still pretending? He’s not.

SWS_EDU Often? Always! USA under this GOP is no better than a corrupt authoritarian government. We are neither admirable or a leading example. We’re an embarrassing, backwards, profiteering country. SAD

Trump's 'America' isn't truly America.

ITS NOT ABOUT THE COUNTRY ...ITS ABOUT TRUMP AND KUSHNERS BANK ACCOUNTS !!!!!! CORRUPTION AT ITS BEST ......

'Often?' Trump' 'America First' agenda puts economics above human rights and human lives. There. I fixed it for you.

wow you dont say. Are you sure about this analysis? It feels kinda big news. That s the Journalism that we were looking for

Trump puts HIMSELF, HIS money above Human Rights!!!

Leftist biased/butthurt WaPo and its non-stop Trump-bashing

Obama negotiated with and sent $$ to Iran the 1 sponsor of terrorism . Didn’t see u idiots object to that

HE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT 'AMERICA FIRST'---HE CARES ABOUT HIS AND JAREDS POCKETS.

Kinda weird - realDonaldTrump claims he won’t interfere but if economic opportunities are exchanged for “non-interference” he has already done so. “I won’t tell you what to do at home IF you give me money.”

“often puts”....

Well Donald Trump is a communist so what do you expect?

True, true maybe the press to show solidarity should boycott the next White House Press Conference.

It puts his personal finances and quest for power above human rights. Please stop mislabeling his actions as those intended to improve our country instead of what they are... which amounts to actions intended to improve his own wealth and power.

قبحه الله وأطاح به الخبيث

Tu les aimes tes chameaux ?

'Economics' = realDonaldTrump's wallet

America First is code for Trump first.

Come on WP, speak the truth, Trump puts himself above American interests. He is a traitor, say it, embrace it and kick his ass out of office.

Economics? Is that what you are calling Trump's self-interest?

Making deals with the Devil always costs more in the long run.

Come on WP, only ten anti-Trump stories today. How are your bile filled readers going to get their fix.

Not American economics, Trump economics. He’s a dictator and he’s becoming a dictator. He lies regularly. RepAdamSchiff nytimes JeffFlake SpeakerRyan marcorubio realDonaldTrump senatemajldr

Washington post attacking our leaders without evidence, this is unexplainable at all

“The US won’t interfere with the internal affairs of other nations, nor when they kill and butcher ametican-based people anywhere else, if they spend money in thr US.” - potus

Shocked!

Trump only cares about 3 things: 1. Paying off interest on loans from Russian Mob 2. Evading prison (where the Mob can get him) 3. Distracting everyone from items 1 & 2.

You are finding him guiltybwithout a trial. I agree it looks bad but have we ever did the same

Trump would sell his kids if it made him money or kept him out of jail.

Absolutely! It puts money ahead of both human rights and all aspects morality. America did not because great through America First attitude. It will be our downfall.

Uh, that’s not just him. That’s the whole neoliberal world order we’ve accepted over the past few decades.

Camel Phelps !!! 😂😂😂👑

Duh. It's always money before people.

Correction: His own economics not country’s economics

and his personal economics above the countries economics. He is just our President par-time when he isn't working Trump Resort deals.

Damn straight it does. Oil is thicker than blood.

I'm shocked I tell ya. Shocked.

realDonaldTrump has been given great wisdom by God as this is the reason that his every decision should be considered correct. Through his truth and honesty now he is bringing a real and positive change in Pakistan and other countries of the region. He is now our real hero.

Frankly - US politics have always been that. Previous regime just dressed it up better

*Personal* economics.

In other news, water is wet!!

Fake news

CIA needs to let Trump hold their magic orb to understand that MBS slaughtered Khashoggi.
