Trump is learning.
Didn’t he just veto a bill that would have gotten us out of Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen?
Saudi Arabia just needs to threaten to move all its dollars and Oil sales to Euros, Rubles or Yuan, and Fed.gov, our DC and Wall Street elites will immediately fall back in line, offering your sons and daughters to fight all their enemies throughout the mideast.

In roughly 26 months, due to Trump’s FRACKING policy, we’ll be oil-independent [we’re already energy-independent, overall, but still are a small net-importer of oil]. At that point, we can tell the Saudis where to shove their oil.
Means he wasn’t happy with what Kushner was getting out of the prince.
Saudi Arabia is a wealthy Middle-Eastern nation with a lot of influence in the region. It’s policies are mostly Western friendly, and even Israel friendly.
It is a moderating force in the Arab community and has been for decades helping to keep prices low in OPEC, and supplies stable.
Even at times when the Arab states thought it would be a great idea to gouge us for oil, Saudi Arabia cautioned moderation.
Folks, Saudi Arabia is helpful in ways. It would not be productive to have it side up with Russia or China.
Would that help moderate Saudi Arabia or make things exponentially worse?
I don’t see Russia or China urging Saudi Arabia to treat us or our allies better?
So goes Saudi Arabia, so goes the United Emerate states.
Would some of you really like to see a polar switch in that region?
Global dynamics are not always black and white. There is gray area, and we have to continue to coordinate with the gray, to avoid the black.
This is why I elected him.
Winning. Not tired yet.

Tell the saudis to pay. They have the money. Besides, they fund the spread of *slam throughout the formerly civilized world. *slam leads to terrorism, so saudi arabia is also funding terrorism.
I guess it’s okay then to provoke the Saudi’s to sell their oil in currencies other than US Dollars? China and others have been wooing them to accept their currencies as well for a while now.
So far they have resisted.
The administration is aware of what happens if/when the petrodollar becomes a thing of the past, right?
$22 Trillion in debt and total dependence on the petrodollar to maintain reserve currency status doesn’t give one a whole lot of leverage.
But, we’ll see how this works out. Maybe the Saudi King will happily pay up and go on as usual.
PUBLIC POLITICIANS are LOSERS -
This is just SO DISGUSTING how public politicians are complete losers to a private business citizen like Trump.
Republicans must realize how stupid and foolish they now look compared to a LION. Politics will NEVER be the same the rest of my life.
Public Politicians are seen now as TOTAL LOSERS ! They can never recover from that image.
The Booshes will disapprove.
