Proverbs 18:24
King James Version
24 A man that hath friends
must shew himself friendly:
and there is a friend that sticketh closer
than a brother.
Was president Trump successful?
What has he accomplished in his "GULF" trip?
Did he make many "gulp?
Did he make "golf" deals?
What did he "engulf"?
President Trump's no "dumbo".
Many would like to think he is.
They've mocked him no end.
A very telling example of his success?
His trip to Saudi Arabia.
In past videos, we've seen how Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, or MBS wasn't exactly warm on Obama.
Neither with fist-bumping Biden.
As president Trump observes, you don't greet MBS that way.
Trump has a different way of greeting leader-friends.
Well, those were the "covid" days.
Weird things happened.
Ah, but the young prince was pleased with Trump, during his first presidency.
And even more now, in this second presidency.
He even personally welcomed Trump at the airport.
He also drove him to a ceremony in a golf "buggy".
He personally saw the president to the airport.
Trump made MBS smile, and laugh, a lot.
MBS showed "love" for the president.
And Trump showed great affection for this prince, heir to his father's throne.
The favored firstborn, from a third marriage.
The controversial crown prince.
The one feared, in his nation.
And yet, with Trump, he's at ease.
Everyone uses a "red" carpet treatment.
MBS used a "PURPLE" carpet treatment.
From the time Trump stepped off his plane.
To the time he went to the great hall.
It was purple royal treatment, all throughout.
As Trump firmly said, "no one can destroy that relationship".
A very touching gesture, throughout the conference, is whenever Trump says something "close to MBS' heart", the prince puts his hand to his heart.
As the president was at the top of the stairs on his plane, he gave one last raise of his fist, touched his heart -- all meant for MBS and the Saudis.
In response, MBS put his palm to his heart again.
Trump also joked about the result of his affection for MBS.
Considering he lifted economic sanctions on Syria, and even met with current president al-Sharaa.
Trump smiles, and shakes his head, as MBS laughs, too, as the president commented --
"What I do for this prince."
What about "investments"?
Lucas Y. Tomlinson of Fox News, reported Saudi Arabia gave US$600-B in investments ("The after MATH").
Including the largest arms sales in history
Of course, the latter made Israel a bit nervous.
Their relations with Saudi Arabia comes, and goes.
But basically, they seem to tolerate each other.
One thing they share in common is "Trump".
They both like him.
He likes them both.
Know another thing Israel, America, and Saudi Arabia share?
A dislike for the Houthi rebels of Yemen.
They've all "bombed" the Houthi hiding places.
Israel, and America, were careful not to hurt civilians.
Saudi's crown prince was criticized for doing so.
Seems MBS wasn't too warm with Obama, and Biden.
Curiously, they're both Democrat presidents.
But his family seems friendlier to the Republicans.
There was a time, in 2004, that an intriguing book came out, regarding younger Bush' presidency, and his relations with Saudi Arabia.
But I must tell you, this friendship, and affection, between president Trump, and Crown Prince MBS, seems to be on another level -- possibly even beyond money.
They both have money.
They have face, fame, and fortune.
They're both top in their fields.
Maybe, they just want to do what's possible.
And to get out of "old hat" thinking.
MBS seems to have respect for this particular American president.
Something not afforded others.
And something Trump sadly doesn't receive from his critics in Congress.
They will never give him that satisfaction.
Interestingly, as Trump was in Saudi Arabia for the 13 May 2025 ""Saudi-U.S. Investment Forum", it was reported a Houthi missile crossed Saudi airspace, meant for Israel.
Knowing Israel, they would have shot that down.
We also learned Israel only let out a "barrage", AFTER Trump left.
They took great care they did not spoil his visit with the Saudis.
Again, RESPECT.
Then Trump goes to Qatar.
I wondered how MBS felt about that.
I wondered, too, how Israel felt about that.
Qatar chose to "exceed" Saudi's initial investment.
But you know how Qatar is with "money".
It's been reported they "fund" Hamas.
They also "fund" American universities, who are pro-Palestine.
And who rebel against Trump's administration.
But Qatar gave money to Trump, for economic deals, and university funding.
There's even that controversial US$400-M luxury plane.
That's why friends, and critics, are getting confused.
What's Trump up to?
What's Qatar up to?
Tomlinson says Qatar gave the following:
US$1.2-T in economic deals, including the largest deal in Boeing history, Edan Alexander freed, the luxury Air Force One jet gift, billions in funding to American universities ("The after MATH").
We just hope that university funding won't be foolishly used by these ungrateful universities, and students, to rebel against president Trump's policies, as they already have.
And now, a second "tranche" has come in.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are not friends.
The former is Sunni; the latter is Shia.
And you know these factions in Islam.
Then Trump goes to United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Another friendly nation.
What does Trump get?
Tomlinson says US$200-B in commercial deals, with a pledge of US$1.4-T over the next decade ("The after MATH").
And what of Israel?
Why didn't Trump visit his friend?
Does Israel feel sidelined?
Surely not, even if media claims she is.
Prime minister Netanyahu has already spoken with Trump, and vice-versa.
He has the honor of being FIRST visitor to the White House.
He's already visited TWICE, in a span of just TWO months --
FIRST visit (5 February 2025): IN FULL: Donald Trump meets with Benjamin Netanyahu
SECOND visit (8 April 2025): FULL: President Trump, Israeli PM Netanyahu speak from White House
Also, he knows Trump needs to do his "Arab" deal.
After all, it might also be to Israel's benefit.
Why get in the way of your friend being friends with your enemies, or at least, some enemies.
Trump is a businessman.
No one can curtail that "business" brain.
It's got a life of its own.
Fortunately, Crown Prince MBS recognizes Jewish statehood.
"In 2018, he voiced his support for a Jewish homeland of Israel,[206] the first time that a senior Saudi royal has expressed such sentiments publicly."
-- "Relations with Israel", Wikipedia
Let Trump do his deals.
He's got his TRADE "strategy".
And his ways are always "strategic".
Trump's policies are also "BIBLICAL".
He knows his "business".
He's also "consistent".
So, give the man a chance to do what he's good at --
Making friends.
Doing business.
Cutting deals.
Seeing what's possible.
Seeing potential in people.
Delegating to experts.
Caring for America.
Making people happy.
Outperforming himself.
And yes, playing golf.
Though we don't know if he had time to do that in these GULF states.
As born again watchman, we say, "hands off" on Gaza, though.
Whatever Trump, and the Arab states, may be planning for it -- "Riviera" plan, or otherwise -- the land belongs to GOD, which He gave to Israel.
So, if any plan doesn't materialize, you know Who's calling the "shots".
Let's all have respect for tiny Israel, for she's "biggest" in GOD's heart.
GOD has jurisdiction over Israel, and the whole world.
Genesis 12:3
King James Version
3 And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth
be blessed.
That's why it's wonderful being born again.
SPIRIT teaches me everything, even "geopolitics".
And it's all based on Scripture, and GOD's laws.
JESUS tells me everything I need to know.
Every true born again receives GOD's SPIRIT.
We know His laws.
We know His WILL.
We know He chose Israel as His holy nation.
We know He chose Trump to lead America.
We know He wants Trump to help Israel.
Everything is framed around GOD's holy nation -- ISRAEL.
GOD tasked me to write ALL about it.
And to alert you to the Rapture.
Which is next in GOD's "timeline".
