BREAKING: TRUMP JUST LOST SAUDI ARABIA

Trump told the man who controls 12% of the world’s oil to kiss his ass. That man just restructured Middle Eastern security with Ukraine, telling Trump, "It's over".

Donald Trump has no friends.

On March 27, 2026, Donald Trump stood at a podium in Miami — at a conference bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, in front of 1,500 of the kingdom’s investors and partners — and announced to the room that Mohammed bin Salman was “kissing my ass.”

His exact words: “He didn’t think he would be kissing my ass. He really didn’t. And now he has to be nice to me. You tell him he’d better be nice to me. He’s got to be.”

The President of the United States, on a Saudi-funded stage, publicly declared the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia a subordinate who must perform deference to retain American protection. A dominance display. Performed for investors. Broadcast on C-SPAN. On Saudi money. There was no walk-back. No clarification. No suggestion that Trump misspoke.

On the same day, Zelenskyy was in Jeddah signing a comprehensive 10-year military pact with MBS, which REALLY pissed off the Trump Regime.

And unfortunately, that includes us. Every day we are dying a little more. This onslaught is not sustainable.

He is fast sinking America like a stone. We will soon have zero foreign allies. Zip. Zero. Nada. Rubio is a pathetic little enabler too. I wish we had a strong smart leader like Zelenskyy.

On the other hand MBS is “brown” so he’s getting a taste of MAGA “supremacy”.
