The risk is that Mr. Trump’s public reduction of the relationship to crass interests is that the Crown Prince will feel he can do anything and suffer no diminution of U.S. support.

Will feel? Does feel.

If Trump would keep his yap closed Lindsay Graham wouldn't have to run around with a mop and a bucket and swearing to "sanction the hell" out of Saudi Arabia. If only Trump would give some lip service to life and liberty and Reagan it up a little. Put some mascara and a wig on it and make it look pretty.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia clearly doesn't give a shit.
