If true, I bet I can guess Donald's next "national emergency..."

Foreign journalists working in America? The Saudis took care of one already.

Saudi joke:
Q: What do you call a dismembered journalist who is critical of the kingdom?
A: A tragic accident.

If true, it's a big deal.
If not true, then the National Embarrassment-in-Chief has nothing to worry about.

Why? Has Trump apologized for his birtherism? Has Hannity apologized for lying about "Global Cooling"? Has Melania apologized fir flying on a government jet during the shutdown? Has Trey Gowdy apologized for endless Benghazi hearings? Has Rush and Laura apologized for attacking David Hogg?

Excellent point...it's amazing how the double-standard works for the far-right when it comes to this expectation of "apologizing for disseminating false information". The far-right outlets spread more false info than the left do, and lies of much larger magnitude...and to clarify, that's not a matter of opinion...that's simply a fact based on numerous independent fact checking sources. Both sides might be equally biased, but both sides are not equally dishonest.

When CNN accidentally misquotes a trivial detail about gun capabilities, it's "fake news! they're spreading lies to try to take our guns away...they said 40 rounds a minute when it's actually 30 rounds a minute!" Yet, things like birther conspiracies and planting the idea in people's heads that Hogg is a crisis actor and it's "well, Fox is just reporting based on the info they had, no harm, no foul".

I'm sure the OP will be tripping over themselves to get back here and do just that.

That’s the point.

It is once again heresay. This is why the media is loosing so much reputation. They don’t deal in facts, they deal in heresay from undientified sources close to the subject. Then everyone throws their knives and speaks as if it is true.

When it has not been proven.

Which part is heresay?

He may or may not be in violation of some law. That's not the point.

The point is, if he's really doing such an awful thing, to make him stop.

The point depends on who is making it, and he probably is not doing that... it's just more of the usual spin. Watch and see if this doesn't just fade away like so many other accusations.

This an interesting article from late last year which gives some of the background.

Saudis Want a U.S. Nuclear Deal. Can They Be Trusted Not to Build a Bomb?

Apparently the issue is over whether the Saudis are going to get uranium enrichment technology as well as nuclear reactors. Now that the US is pulling out of the Iran deal, bin Salma wants nukes in case Iran builds some.

This is true, but they actually did the deed. But since it is alleged that 45 tried to do the deed I doubt he will suffer such a fate. I think we can thank our Heavenly Father for the cushion of generals that was around him.

If it is true will Trump supporters turn against him?

Seems a bit incoherent, but...oookay, I guess.

Have you read the report?

I doubt it, myself. Seems everything media puts out turns out to be exactly the opposite these days.
