To their credit, the editorial board of the Washington Post did publish a piece yesterday (archive) about Mohammed bin Salman and his visit to the White House.

It's one thing, however regrettable, to deal reluctantly with him. President Donald Trump's performance at the White House Tuesday was something else entirely: weak, crass and of no strategic benefit to America.
