Lots of “thanking” going on.

No red. No blue. Purple. Is this heaven?

The Saudi’s do know how to turn heads. Give grandpa a reception to recall but he won’t. Have everyone salute. Parade some horses,… now we will have to add horses to his birthday parade. Getting stuff done in Qatar while Zelensky is stood up in Turkey. Even Zelensky sent has guy to wait for Putin. Big profile discussions,… we don’t show up for high level discussions ourselves although we said we would/might. Trump has broken all protocols. We hate that. It occurs to me, he also has blasted some of the silly fences and walls that keep Putin and other inaccessible. Their magic behind the curtain, we see maybe, a little dirty behind their ears. He is trying now to reestablish the long tables and arms length reach. Zelensky is coming too too close. Asking for peace. A ceasefire. Negations FCS. Trump wanted to make the war go away. lol. Putin can’t. He slugs on with his war machine. He doesn’t know how to “peace.”

Biggish surprise was a load of people trailing behind Trump to meet the new master of ceremonies.

Partial list. Top 20.

How could they all just get away? CEO’s who rarely see their own dog based on their salary they work 24/7… oh.

It’s the carpeting. They have it everywhere in Qatar. And none of that indoor outdoor plastic crap. Real wool. I get it. He’s found his people.

Back in 2017…

Swords a little droopy there pal. But the orb ignition went well.

And just exactly who’s the largest extremist in the land? Why, that would be Donald, leader of the terror org, Maga.

Zoom into 2025…. Now, who knows. They’d like some Palestinian love? Buy some Boeing. Bring big gifts. Here’s what AI says about the situation now.

The Saudi’s are firmly rejecting Trumps’s proposals to displace Palestinians from Gaza and have consistently emphasized that they will not normalize relations with Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry has reiterated this stance as “non-negotiable,” with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman affirming the kingdom’s commitment to a two-state solution. They have also expressed concern over Trump’s Gaza takeover plan, which involves relocating Palestinians to countries like Egypt and Jordan, and are working with other Arab states to develop alternative plans that prioritize Palestinian statehood and reconstruction without displacement. Additionally, posts on X suggest Saudi Arabia is trying to persuade Trump to recognize a Palestinian state and end the Gaza war as part of broader normalization efforts with Israel, though these efforts face challenges due to Israel’s opposition to a Palestinian state.

More from grok, an AI.

Donald Trump visited Qatar from May 13 to May 16, 2025, as part of his first major foreign trip of his second term, which also included Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The primary reasons for his visit to Qatar were to strengthen economic ties and secure significant investment deals for the U.S. economy. Trump aimed to finalize agreements with Qatar, a key U.S. ally hosting the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, to boost bilateral trade, particularly in aviation, defense, and technology sectors. For instance, Qatar Airways was reportedly finalizing a major order for around 100 Boeing widebody jets, signaling substantial commercial cooperation. Additionally, discussions included military cooperation, regional security, and Qatar’s role as a mediator in conflicts like the Gaza war and Syria’s reconstruction, with Qatar pushing for U.S. support to ease sanctions on Syria. The visit also followed the Trump Organization’s announcement of a $5.5 billion real estate project in Qatar, raising ethical concerns due to potential conflicts of interest, especially amid Qatar’s offer of a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet for use as Air Force One, which Trump indicated he would accept. These economic and strategic objectives, combined with Qatar’s growing geopolitical influence, drove the timing and focus of the visit.

Of course they had their wishes granted. They said “thank you” so nicely.

In further AI help, why all this is not a good idea…

Making deals with Saudi Arabia presents several potential downsides for Trump:

1. **Human Rights Concerns**: Saudi Arabia’s record on human rights, including issues like freedom of speech, gender equality, and treatment of dissidents, could draw criticism if Trump’s deals appear to overlook these violations. Aligning closely with the kingdom risks backlash from human rights advocates and domestic critics who argue it compromises U.S. values.
2. **Ethical and Conflict-of-Interest Issues**: Trump’s business ties, such as the Trump Organization’s real estate ventures in Saudi Arabia, raise concerns about conflicts of interest. For example, Saudi investments in Trump properties or businesses could be seen as influencing U.S. foreign policy, especially if deals personally enrich Trump or his family, undermining public trust.
3. **Regional Tensions**: Strengthening ties with Saudi Arabia could strain relations with other regional powers like Iran or complicate U.S. diplomacy in conflicts involving Yemen or Syria. Over-alignment with Riyadh might also alienate allies like Turkey or Qatar, who have competing interests in the Middle East.
4. **Dependence on Oil and Arms Deals**: Economic deals, particularly in energy or defense, could deepen U.S. reliance on Saudi oil or lock in long-term arms sales, limiting flexibility in addressing global energy transitions or regional arms races. This could also tie Trump’s economic agenda to volatile Gulf politics.
5. **Domestic Political Risks**: Critics, including Democrats and some Republicans, may argue that cozying up to Saudi Arabia prioritizes foreign interests over domestic ones, especially if deals don’t deliver clear U.S. job growth or economic benefits. Public skepticism about Saudi Arabia’s role in global affairs could fuel opposition.
6. **Geopolitical Backlash**: Saudi Arabia’s push for Palestinian statehood as a condition for normalizing ties with Israel could complicate Trump’s Middle East strategy. If Trump ignores this, he risks alienating Arab allies; if he pressures Israel, it could strain U.S.-Israel relations.
These risks are amplified by Saudi Arabia’s strategic leverage as a key OPEC+ member and U.S. military partner, making any misstep diplomatically or economically significant. Posts on X highlight concerns about Trump’s personal financial gains from Saudi deals, suggesting public scrutiny will remain high.

Confusing times because motives are obscured. We follow the money and the friendly charms too. Do we want anything touched by Trump? Far too late. Everything sullied, tainted, touched. Opined about. So many dark corner spirits now in the open. Diddy trail has begun and treated to images of Cassie Ventura being dragged throughout that hotel hall.

NEW YORK, May 13 (Reuters) - Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura, a rhythm and blues singer known as "Cassie," told the jury at the hip-hop mogul's sex trafficking trial on Tuesday that he often beat her, leaving her with black eyes and bruises all over her body.

Freakouts, the name for the parties were days long. So we’re talking about who said “yes?” Was the sex consensual? The sex?

I need a new paragraph to rip some attorney a new one. These freakouts were more about servitude than the down and dirty. Wrong metric of measure in this situation. Jail him to eternity. And include the investigators that were looking in for decades before an arrest. Reminds me of how Epstein was protected. In the end?… he lies about everything. People wonder but I’m not sure anyone has said or written the words… uttered the sentiment out loud - Trump made it clear his best friend of years would have to die rather than survive to say anything at trial. One more for the team there buddy. That links has super juicy details. Awful awful people.

Trust. And trust tampered with.

Can we make a deal with an untrustworthy person for the free stuff and the deals that, tap tap, look like gold?

Macron is the recipient of a huge campaign to paint him poorly in public opinion. Tissuegate? Accused of hiding a baggie of blow. The other guy, guilty of harboring a spoon. He looks…. too happy. Proof enough. That’s the baggie there, yes, the tissue,…crumpled napkin?
