Trump plans to do a live Twitter forum in Saudi Arabia. But really.

Uh, so, okay: This is real.

President Donald Trump is going to take part in a live Twitter forum when he visits Saudi Arabia on Friday, according to National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster.

Here's video from a Tuesday briefing that proves this is more than an idea:

So the plan appears to be that young people in Saudi Arabia will have some kind of dialogue with the president, and the youngsters can live-tweet whatever the president says.

And now, an incomplete, ongoing list of questions, in no particular order:

- Someone approved this?

- Someone with enough influence in the White House woke up one morning and thought: "What if we get a bunch of teenager-ish people to live-tweet the president's remarks—off the cuff, no less— and then, let's do that in a predominantly Muslim country during the president's first trip outside the U.S.?"

- And then, someone else considered that idea, and approved it?

- And now, it's happening?

- The same week we learned Trump reportedly revealed classified information to Russian government officials just because, and without knowing where the information came from?

- Did anyone think Trump's reception among young people in Saudi Arabia wouldn't be so great, given Trump's many disparaging remarks about Islam and his very arguably unconstitutional actions against Muslims?

- Do folks in the White House think he won't get any questions about Islam at all?

- Maybe the questions are pre-screened?

- But Trump veers off-script so much it doesn't matter if the questions are pre-screened?

I'm not alone in my confusion.

So!

Your big takeaway: This has been planned, and it's an actual thing, and one that's going to happen.
