Trump about MBS, Saudi Arabia:
The Gulf leadership faces a stark choice: endure the recurring humiliation embedded in US rhetoric, particularly toward Saudi Arabia, or confront an Iran they fundamentally hate and fear.https://t.co/ZyoYFY6vpd— Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 (@ejmalrai) March 28, 2026
Trump is bragging about how he controls the Saudi ruler
“The Saudis better be nice to me, and obey me…or else!”
He’s implicitly threatening the Saudis by reminding them that their safety and security relies on US protection
What a humiliating state of affairs https://t.co/pwtGE9JR1R

We truly owe so much to Trump. This man has done more to dismantle Western client states in MENA than 50 years of progressive foreign policy. And is now publically humiliating MBS & delegitimizing the gulf oil monarchies. Our decolonial hero. I can’t help that I love him & wish… https://t.co/TZp6QJ76U6

You’d think it was Trump who should be kissing MBS’s ass.
After all, it’s Saudi Arabia that opened its airspace, its territory, & promised $2 trillion in investment.And yet…
That’s the difference between a subservient state & Iran, a proud nation that refuses to bow. https://t.co/5g9XNj1QVX
