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.”

My issue is what happens if those governments are overthrown and replaced with radicals, then what?
...and the intelligence of our allies.
Levin has always been a neocon. Neocons always think they are right and if you don’t like it they are going to go to war with you in the country and out of the country.
Unending war is what they stand for.
Like our government already overthrown by globalists collaborating with radical leftists in the United States... now what?
In other places on the internet, one can readily find people who claim that Israel (or Jewry generally, even) are not good people at heart, and use the US cynically as a weapon against their own political enemies.
IMO this is at best silly and definitely wrong. It’s not the Israelis who invaded a neighbor, raped and butchered many and took hostages to hide behind schools and hospitals, and I don’t see Israeli or Jewish immigrants or visitors having “sexual emergencies” where they attack girls, or forming no-go areas where they live, or any of the usual aloha snackbar behavior.
However, MBS is an OK guy. His own radicals tried to kill him in very similar way to the attempts on Trump. Qatar hosts Formula 1, not bomb-making 101.
When otherwise bright and sensible people get this reflexively upset at the idea that peaceful relations might happen, and that Trump should be honored, instead of spurring more in the series of forever-wars, it just fuels the loopy people on the net.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
The new crown prince is trying to turn SA into a normal country. He may fail but he’s trying and for that he deserves our support.
If Levin’s secular, atheist saint, Abe Lincoln, had done what Donald Trump did, Mark would find a rationale for it.
Seriously?
For 80 years, Germany has offered mountains of continuous apologies for everything and anything concerning WW2.
I'm sure if you rummage through it all, you'll find more than one apology for shooting American GI POWs.
BTW, most nations mistreat, torture, starve, or kill POWs in long, drawn out wars, including the U.S. My Lai and Andersonville immediately come to mind, though I'm sure there are many other examples.
Since every approach in the past has failed why not try something different?
Levin? BS!! He unintentionally helped Hillary in 2016.
Levin isn’t wrong.
Actually, I agree, except it is Trump who has broken from the hold of Israel militarily. Congress is flooded with Israeli lobbyists. One of the reasons we have all these pro war Senator RINOs.
I have heard that Waltz was removed from his position because he was speaking with Netanyahu behind Trump’s back over bombing Iran. Hence, the much talked about split between Trump and Netanyahu lately.
Waltz was sent to the worthless UN position.
Trump is America First, not Israel First.
Levin isn’t wrong.
I just trust that Trump knows what he’s doing.
There are other things he’s done in the past that have confused people as well, and have worked out for the best.
I don’t recall hearing a peep out of Levin when GWB was hosting the Saudi royal family in Crawford, Texas — SIX MONTHS after 9/11.
Personally, I can’t stand, listening to the guy. He’d rant and rave and complaine in that whiny itlrritating high piched voice of his about a child’s birthday party.
He just seems like perpetually miserable man.
Levin = drama queen.
DR?
