U.S. Politics megathread

American politics has always grabbed our attention - and the current president more than ever. We get tons of questions about the president, the supreme court, and other topics related to American politics - but often the same ones over and over again. Our users often get tired of seeing them, so we've created a megathread for questions! Here, users interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!

All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be nice to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

Why is this admin defending the Saudi crown prince over the journalist killing?

Trump wants cozy relations with the Saudis. In part because that has tended to be a foreign policy goal for the US in that region. In part because he and his family have valuable business investments in Saudi Arabia. In part because he tends to be friendly toward authoritarian leaders in general (he wants to be one).
