BREAKING: TRUMP JUST LOST SAUDI ARABIA [View all]

I've been waiting and watching to see when news of this would hit DU and wider media, but I haven't seen it. Perhaps my search terms were the problem...

**BUT, trump insulted the Saudis and said MBS was "kissing his ass" at a Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund conference in Miami last Friday.

"On March 27, 2026, Donald Trump stood at a podium in Miami — at a conference bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, in front of 1,500 of the kingdom’s investors and partners — and announced to the room that Mohammed bin Salman was “kissing my ass.”

His exact words: “He didn’t think he would be kissing my ass. He really didn’t. And now he has to be nice to me. You tell him he’d better be nice to me. He’s got to be.”

The President of the United States, on a Saudi-funded stage, publicly declared the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia a subordinate who must perform deference to retain American protection. A dominance display. Performed for investors. Broadcast on C-SPAN. On Saudi money. There was no walk-back. No clarification. No suggestion that Trump misspoke.

BREAKING: TRUMP JUST LOST SAUDI ARABIA

This is a report from Canadian Dean Blundell's substack. I got turned onto him by our very own Amaryllis here at DU. He produces some really important and interesting content and I'm so glad she posted him a while back! I try to check on him daily.

If you hit the link, you'll get more info and a video clip... Zelensky stepped in and has walked out of Jeddah with 10-year defense partnerships signed with three Gulf states. Three. In one week.

I wish I could post the entire thing -- it's incredible... many layers. The dominoes are falling.
Stupid trump and his inept crew juggling diplomacy and defense, and wrecking everything.

You do NOT insult or criticize the Crown Prince. He kills people for minor offenses.
