Jordan’s King Abdullah Praises Donald Trump’s ‘Humility and Grace’
Breitbart ^ | June 25, 2018

Posted on 06/25/2018 4:58:33 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

Jordan’s King Abdullah II Bin Al-Hussein shared an unusually flattering assessment of President Donald Trump on Monday, praising the president’s “humility” and “grace” during a visit to the White House.

“If the rest of the world just took a little bit of your humility and your grace, we’d be in a lot better position,” Abdullah said.

Trump thanked Abdullah for the compliment, pointing out to the press that he used the word “humility” to describe him.

“I’m happy with that word,” Trump grinned. “It’s probably the nicest compliment I’ve been given in a long time.”

Trump praised the king of Jordan for his humanitarian efforts on behalf of Syrian refugees.

Melania has fashion model looks, while Queen Rania has “girl next door” looks. Both beautiful women.

He probably traded war stories with Bibi Netanyahu in private.

He is pro-Islam before everything else, regardless of what this man says.

He is a Muslim, but he knows that he has more to fear from some Muslims than he does from the West.

If he could destroy Israel, he would do so at a moments notice (like his father tried to do in 1967)

Destroying Israel wasn't going to happen, hasbara aside. Hussein knew that Israel was winning the war, but he had a treaty with Egypt. If he stayed out of the war and did nothing, his largely Palestinian population would have rebelled.

There are a lot of people who disagree with me regarding this, but I don’t think Hussein would ever have been willing to act as Khadaffy finally agreed to.

It wasn’t in him. His ego was too large.

During his reign he attacked Iran, occupied Kuwait, sent skuds into Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

He gassed the Kurds. He killed large numbers of his own people on a whim.

His sons were out of control. The Iraqi people were sick of it.

As if this wasn’t bad enough, he shot his mouth off about being willing to support terrorism around the world that was directed at the U. S. and Western nations. He voluntarily started provided the families of suicide bombers in Israel, $25,000.00 a pop.

He ignored the restrictions on troop movements and no-fly zones imposed after the Gulf War. Severl times near the end it appeared he was very close to moving troops over his border with another nation.

The U.N. nuclear inspectors were given the dog n pony show treatment. They finally gave up and left saying, “Due to his refusal to open up and cooperate with inspectors, we are reasonably certain he has a robust WMD chemical and nuclear weapons program.”

Once 09/11 took place, the U. S. leadership went postal. He had put himself in the cross-hairs.

His goal was to take over the whole of the Saudi Peninsula. He wanted to control all the oil.

I have no problem with the U. S. eliminating him.

He was just one less terrorist wanna be.

There is currently no Iraqi government threat to Western Nations.

Yeah, I could live with that description.

As for Melania, I know a lot of men would find her incredible intriguing and beautiful.

Different strokes for different folks. I’m very happy we all don’t have the exact same vision of beauty.

Melania has my very deep respect, and no one should ever think otherwise.

I think the Trumps may have known or been friends with the Abdullahs before the presidency(?) - Regardless, Trump has done business in that part of the world and genuinely has respect for their histories/cultures and gets along with Middle Eastern people...and Chinese for that matter...and others despite the media portraying him otherwise. Trump was an *international* businessman for a long time before he entered politics, so gets how people in varying places operate and "make deals."

The Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem was restored over a couple of years and re-opened in 2017. King Abdullah was one of the major donors for the project -- from his own wealth, not the taxpayers of Jordan.

Thank you for sharing that Albertas Child. God bless their contribution.

He'll get a better deal once a few bugs are shaken out.* He's less friendly to the west than his father was, at least when it comes to the way he runs his mouth, but obviously has embraced western culture. His ancestor was put in charge of the newly-invented kingdom, and is now landlocked, dependent on Israel for fresh water, and, the poor bastard, ruling most of the world's so-called Palestinians.

going to school in the west does not always result in graduates appreciating or supporting western values or nations, or the church for that matter

(just look at what some of the most famous colleges are turning out nowadays, for instance, and those being mostly people born in USA, too)

best,

I loved how the day after ISIS caged and burned alive the Jordanian pilot, Abdullah got his butt in a jet and went over and bombed their turf. He and President Trump are two MEN, not these little wusses who are heads of so many other states, and not too long ago, the USA.

It is hard to accept so much winning, I am black and blue from pinching myself to make sure it is true.

She was on an intl panel a few years ago that my daughter was affiliated with, and the two would have breakfast or tea together as they met in various quarters of the world. Kind of fun for an All-American girl who’s not into royalty! Queen Rania, btw, is Palestinian.

I was unaware that she is Palestinian.

70% of Jordan’s population is Palestinian, although I prefer to reference them as Arabs.

That must have been interesting for your daughter. Kudos...

Liberal heads are exploding, just like when Kim Jong-un said that the Donald was the first president to respect him. The truth is that POTUS does not pander for votes. He EXPECTS Palestinians to be civilized. He DEMANDS that black people and hispanics obey the law. To the plantation owners, this is heresay, but decent people know that when you have high standards for people, they usually meet them.
