Trump was jealous of Pompeo’s visit to Saudi Arabia
Pompeo had paid a visit to Riyadh in October 2018, and he said about that: Trump assigned me to go to the Kingdom, and I think he was envious and jealous of my visit. Because I was the one who walked in opposition to the Washington Post, the New York Times, and other cowards who had no connection with reality.
--Pompeo emphasized that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a reformer who will prove to be one of the most important leaders of his time, and a truly historical figure on the world stage.

The American media’s falsification of the facts
In the same context, the director of the CIA in the Trump administration criticized the American media for its handling of the Khashoggi case, saying that it fueled false anger and did not reveal the full truth.
It is noteworthy that Mike Pompeo’s new book coincides with his thinking about running for the White House, as he stated that running for the presidential elections by former President Donald Trump in 2024 will not discourage him from his candidacy.
