FAFO. He deals and you get whacked.
IN HIS PLACE
Trump betrays EVERYONE around him or who trusts him. Starting with his wife.

(44 posts)The list of being cheated is long. I think you should sue to recoup your loss.
A taste of his own medicine.

(11,613 posts)They see how trump operates. It's really something that they all think they are "special" and he wouldn't screw them like everyone else.

(61,731 posts)Abdulaziz Al-Anjeri, CEO of Reconnaissance Research, an independent think tank based in Kuwait. He's also a member of the National Press Club in Washington, according to his X bio.
He has a Bluesky account - https://bsky.app/profile/abdulazizalanjeri.bsky.social - but has not posted there since November 2024.
Here's a recent Global Finance magazine interview with Al-Anjeri, but he doesn't mention Kushner:

Here's a post on X with that video, then his tweet responding to it. I'm breaking the links with spaces. Get rid of the spaces to reach the tweets.

(25,806 posts)in the Board of Peace? Did they have an expectation, or promise of protection by getting rid of Iran for good? But now feel they were duped into a scam?
I can just imagine Trump and Jared dreaming up a scheme to get rid of Iran's terrorist threats in the region so they could proceed with resorts in Gaza. "Join our club and your dues will pay to get rid of Iran. We are the world's most powerful nation. We can do it, but it's expensive." I can imagine that it was not an empty scheme or promise. Trump and Jared really believed they could do it. They would gain from getting rid of Iranian threats in the region, too.
But, as usual.they had more hubris than brains abd flubbed up.
I think the leaders of those nations might be the kind to want vengeance.
