I wonder if any tennis team in Ghana gets decent funding. I just can't imagine it's that popular a sport there. Maybe it's actually more popular amongst wheelchair users.

It's wild how many times Trump went back to donors. With Trump University and all his other scams, he had to offer a product or service. He realized that in politics, he didn't have to do that, he could just collect donations. He inspired a whole industry of conservative grifters.

How exactly are they calculating this?
edit: It's at the bottom, under methodology. Crime is only one of many metrics they used, such as natural disaster risk.

> MBS had ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi
I'm just going to add some color to this, as people may not remember. This is the Washington Post reporter that was chopped up in a Saudi embassy in Turkey.

>Despite the UK not putting MBS on the list for political reasons
Not only is Saudi Arabia a key ally in regards to Western energy resources, but Jared Kushner may have greenlit the assassination. It would put the UK at odds with the Trump administration, not just the Saudi royal family.
