    Which puts Trump in a great position because he’s apparently getting phonecalls on the daily from the Saudis pressuring him to sort out the Hormuz and the “Iran keeps blowing up oil infrastructure” situation. And since the Saudi’s have got a lot of leverage on his family business it’s no wonder he’s been publicly crashing out. There’s even a rumor (so take it with a grain of salt) that some of the Middle Eastern sovereign-wealth funds backing the WB+Paramount deal are considering pulling out; and Trump wants as much media as he can to fall into the hands of his oligarch buddies.

    So, appease Israel for political gain with paleoconservatives? Or appease your wealthy business partners? 🤔

      He has to appease Israel as they clearly have the dirt on him. He has to appease the Saudi’s or they’ll destroy him financially. Haha. Hope he strokes out.
