Fox News host Mark Levin is NOT pleased with President Donald Trump’s current diplomatic tour of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which, given his history of reflexive pro-Trump rhetoric, is notable.
Trump spoke to the Saudi Royal family and other very important global business leaders during a remarkably convivial economic investment confab on Tuesday that ended on the same note as most of his political rallies: with The Village People blaring the gay disco anthem YMCA. Trump later flew to Doha, Qatar, for more meetings aimed at securing Middle Eastern investment in the American economy, despite serious concerns about human rights abuses on the part of the would-be investors.
But, without mentioning President Trump by name, Levin was remarkably critical of the commander-in-chief, taking to social media to blast Saudi Arabia for playing a “significant role on the 9/11 slaughter of our people.” He also condemned Qatar for having “protected the leader of the 9/11 attack from the FBI, before he was able to launch his war on America that killed our people.”

Great Points All !
I can’t rouse myself to care that Carleson is insufficiently pro israeli.
Likely his most central issue —as is likely the case with candace owens—is that he does not want Israel to supplant England as the country with whom the USA has the deepest connection.
If anyone wants to test their limits on this subject—take a listen to President Trump today in Saudi Arabia as he heaps all kinds of praise on Saudi Arabia and the undying friendship of the USA and Saudi Arabia—as he seeks a trillion dollars in Middle Eastern funds to invest in the USA. Money talks. (Neither the UK nor Israel has that kind of money.)

So yeah, I get Levin’s growl
From Levin’s wikipedia:
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Levin has supported Ukraine, saying that if Russia defeated Ukraine, Vladimir Putin would take further aggressive action.[117] He also criticized the Joe Biden administration for its response, which he considered to be lacking, and the isolationists and the “Putin wings” of the media, Democratic Party and the Republican Party. He also called for the US to arm Taiwan to defend themselves from China and call off the negotiations with Iran.[118] At the 2022 CPAC, Levin criticized populism and nationalism and called for the US to support Ukraine, saying that the CPAC means Conservative Political Action Committee, not “McGovern, populist or nationalist action committee” and “We love America because it’s America, not because we’re nationalists. I mean, the Russians are nationalists.
Levin is correct but it APPEARS that PDJT has sold out to enemies of America. BUT perhaps he obtained some significant improvements in Saudi and Qatari (and Syrian!) future behavior and statements? Either PDJT is letting these dictators change for the better “on their own” - without looking like they gave him anything in return for his visit and largesse, dealings.........thusly, they will look like they OUT-FOXED him and this will immensely boost their “standing” in the Moslem world. Or else, that’s just a huge pipe dream and in reality they DID Out-Fox him, ROYALLY.. to the tune of almost a trillion US dollars of dealings that they could not have gotten anywhere else.
PDJT is a very shrewd businessman. By Western standards. But the Arab dictators are INCREDIBLE wheelers-and-dealers, bar none. So, despite my high regard for PDJT I do have to admit apprehension that he got Snookered.
We will see in the coming weeks. It won’t take very long to see if they improve or not. They’re always giving public statements or pronouncements. I’d give it a month. Then if no improvement, just cancel or postpone action on the dealings and...then see.
Just my thoughts, and Yes I am trying to give PDJT credit but... as of RIGHT NOW, Levin is 100 percent correct IMHO, as of right NOW at least, it looks all for the world that PDJT gave away the store for... nothing.
I have his books
But he’s like Hannity
He’s history and I’ve moved on
One note Johnny on Israel and I sympathize with his perspective as a Jew
But I don’t have to ape it all the time
I’m in favor of good relations with the petro monarchs
And Jerusalem agrees hence the accords
He’s kind of late on this, considering how close we got to Japan and West Germany after WWII.
Let me guess.. he was screaming and hollering.
I sense there is a separation of US and Israel diplomatic and economic ties to dealing with the Middle East. US makes their deals and Israel will make their own deals.
I think Trump is trying to separate perception of Israel/US interests as ‘monolithic’.
US can deal economically, diplomatically while allowing Israel room to do what they deem necessary militarily. I don’t see Trump backing on his word to Israel - I see him letting Israel loose from US constraints, today and the future. He has never wavered support for Israel.
The winds of change are that Israel will determine what they need and not the US - I believe that is what Trump is trying to establish. Just as we deal with each nation/tribe in MidEast, they will need to deal with Israel individually. If the Muslim nations want to coalesce against Israel it will jeopardize created individual relationships.
I see eventually the cleansing of Gaza, the West Bank no longer a political wasteland (back to Judea/Samaria), and the Al-Aqsa mosque destroyed (perhaps an Iranian or Houthi missile hits it?)
Ya started the war.
Was it Britains fault that you could not stop the attack of just 5000 men in Washington?
Trump is playing the same game with them they play with us, Levin.
How embarrassing for Mark Levin.
Geez, is he going to pull an Ann Coulter and go from kneeling in front of Trump to bashing him over the head because of one issue he doesn’t agree with.
I swear, why are some trump supporters so fragile?
NeverTrumper Mark gest it a bit overdone.
We source our pharmaceuticals from Chi-Coms.
We spend a fortune protecting former Nazis from the Russian Bear, that they buy oil from.
We manufacture in Commie Vietnam.
We play nice with Meh-he-co that floods us with Fentanyl.
Half the world alive has no idea what World Trade Center means.
Politics is downstream from Culture.
Instead of preaching from your formerly powerful pulpit MAGA and America First, Ya shiiite the bed with Never Trumpism, and now you speak?
Go away Mark. The Great One is so last Century.
Approx 2% of Mid East population live in Israel.
America cannot ignore 98% for 2 % forever.
Doesn’t make sense.
I mean if you agree 60% of the time with a politician, that’s still pretty good.
Where is the apology from Japan for karaoke?
I don’t get what Mark Levin is angry about. He’s angry about 9/11?
...for oil, and for buying stuff from us with their money instead of "buying" stuff from us with our money.
Jew boy does not like Arabs... Full story at 11pm
They are terrorists as long as we allow them to be terrorists...clinton, obama, biden did nothing but placate these people...GWB did not completely use the hammer when he had the chance.
