Trump Holds Oval Office Summit With Prominent Muslim Leader

WASHINGTON, D.C — According to sources, President Donald Trump met with a prominent Muslim leader in the Oval Office on Friday to discuss the ongoing protests and unrest in Iran.

Tucker Carlson, one of the world's most well-known and outspoken proponents of Islam, arrived at the White House for an important meeting with President Trump, as rumors persisted that the U.S. was on the verge of launching strikes against the Ayatollah's Iranian regime.

"It's important for the president to consider several different perspectives, including from Muslims, before condoning a course of action that could lead our country to war," said Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. "And there is no one more Muslim than Tucker Carlson."

Trump reportedly received the Islamic Sheikh with a traditional plate of dates and figs. "I hear you're the guy to talk to about Islam these days," Trump said. "You bought a house in Qatar, from what I understand, which is an interesting decision, to say the least, but we'll talk about it."

Carlson spent his time informing the president about how socially conservative the Iranian regime was and promising another world war if America were to launch an attack. "You know who I think you ought to attack is Israel. Iran is a much more trustworthy nation, and that's a fact," he said.

According to sources, the meeting was cut short when Carlson kept shouting "Allahu akbar!" and laughing hysterically.

At publishing time, Trump had announced a full-scale military invasion of Iran.

Actually - that would not be a good slam on Trump's part as Carlson would retort "Is my owning a house in Qatar any different than you flying in a plane from Qatar?"

The Babylon Bee did not like Charlie Kirk’s choice of friends regarding Israel, wanted him to ban Tucker Carlson, which he did not do. They must get funding from Israel.

Yep, the Bee is an Israel-First operation. I must have missed it if the Bee has ever poked fun at a Mark Levin or a Ben Shapiro or a Ted Cruz or anyone else who engages in unabashed cheerleading for Israel, a foreign country that is not the 51st state.

would you support a Constitutional amendment to ban any hint of Sharia from US forever? Don’t tell me it’s already banned, I remember when we “didn’t need” a marriage amendment in the 1990s because we had the defense of marriage act.

How about TC registering as an agent of Qatar. I’d trade off Leven as an agent of Israel.

It’s bizarre that if you question anything about Israel, you’re somehow pro-Muslim. I get it that evangelicals live in some kind of fantasy world in which Christians and Jews are some kind of Batman-and-Robin dynamic duo taking on Muslims. The problem with that paradigm is that evangelicals are the only ones who are living in that world. Does a Steven Spielberg think he’s your junior partner opposing Muslims when he kisses Mamdani’s ass?

Many Jews hate Zionists with a passion. They are not fans of Israel.

I reject the motive of your question, but, sure, ban Sharia. Bar Muslims from immigrating here. No complaints from me. My views of both Islam and Judaism are somewhere to the right of Torquemada.

ok . good, I’m more concerned about the money pipeline of places like Qatar to fund the invasion here than I am about Israel’s heroic actions to defend itself in the encirclement it faces. God will take care of Israel is the “fantasy world” we Christians live in , just as He always has.
