US President Donald Trump has revealed that he could make Saudi Arabia the destination for his first foreign trip during his new term – but only if Riyadh agrees to purchase American products worth up to $500 billion. He revealed that a similar arrangement was agreed for his controversial 2017 visit.
Wow. Just advertising he’s for sale, right out in the open like that. So glad there is a human with such moral integrity in our highest office. What a piece of shit.
Not that I’m defending Trump, but you understand that the $450b in 2017 didn’t go to Trump, right? Because that would make Trump the richest man in the world, and he’s certainly not that.
By saying “as president I will only come to your country if you buy $x from my country” he is effectively selling the office of the presidency. He isn’t speaking on a book tour, he’s not a college lecturer. He is the fucking president of the United States. And to my knowledge, no other president has extorted a country like this.
Well it sure as shit didn’t go to anything that actually helped people.
It’s commitments to purchase American good which likely were arms
I wonder if Jared’s $2 billion from the saudis stems from this though… Plus the saudis paying Trump to use his golf courses for their golf league. Not all of it had to go to him, but there’s a lot of “American products” that could benefit him if purchased.
Lol yeah… This is the very first time in his life that he’s done something to help other people without any benefit to himself. Sure thing.
They’re just stating facts. The money was committed to buying American goods. It wasn’t a full Blagoyavich (who Trump pardoned).
He keeps saying the quiet part outloud now because SCOTUS said he can and not be charged.

If they throw an extra 50 bn on top, they can also chop up a US journalist of their choosing in Turkey

Why limit yourself to an island.
Musk wants to send people to Mars. These are some great candidates.

Take a tip from that one billionaire and send them to the bottom of the fucking ocean.
To the sun. We don’t need to ruin Mars.
What more can we expect from a repeat offender, than mobster behavior : “pay us or we will not offer our protection, it’s a nice country you have there, it will be a shame an accidental invasion happened”
The word ‘products’ in this context means weapons.
We can’t blame Trump for the state’s allies being completely disgusting tyrants. Gotta keep trading weapons for oil. The petrol-dollar is the foundation of this doomsday casino “economy”.
