BREAKING: TRUMP JUST LOST SAUDI ARABIA

[liberalla]

I've been waiting and watching to see when news of this would hit DU and wider media, but I haven't seen it. Perhaps my search terms were the problem...

**BUT, trump insulted the Saudis and said MBS was "kissing his ass" at a Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund conference in Miami last Friday.

"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.

BREAKING: TRUMP JUST LOST SAUDI ARABIA

This is a report from Canadian Dean Blundell's substack. I got turned onto him by our very own Amaryllis here at DU. He produces some really important and interesting content and I'm so glad she posted him a while back! I try to check on him daily.

If you hit the link, you'll get more info and a video clip... Zelensky stepped in and has walked out of Jeddah with 10-year defense partnerships signed with three Gulf states. Three. In one week.

I wish I could post the entire thing -- it's incredible... many layers. The dominoes are falling.
Stupid trump and his inept crew juggling diplomacy and defense, and wrecking everything.

You do NOT insult or criticize the Crown Prince. He kills people for minor offenses.

1. Not a good idea to insult "Mr. Bone Saw"

[Marie Marie]

66. I disagree. I think it is an excellent idea to insult him and I, for one.

strongly encourage Mr. Bone Spurs to keep belittling Mr. Bone Saw. Trump is a tough guy - what could possible go wrong?

[struggle4progress]

2. I guess Donnie shouldn't visit any Saudi embassies alone

or he might come out neatly packed into several duffle baga

[Trueblue Texan]

8. or white paper with tape. nt

[PuraVidaDreamin]

18. So just imagine that Dopey Don had to flee the good ole USA

SA will not be welcoming him.

[FoxNewsSucks]

22. I hope he visits one tonight.

[yellow dahlia]

3. I can imagine some ironic scenarios playing out.

I think the grifter got a little too sure of himself.

[wnylib]

12. He's always been too sure of himself.

[NJCher]

43. that's what I said when I posted this video Sunday

Here's the link to my post: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221131990

If you'll note in my OP, I observe how he realizes he went too far and then tries to back peddle, saying MBS is a "regular guy."

What a dufus. Even his backpeddling is incompetent. I doubt MBS wants to be thought of as a "regular guy."

[yellow dahlia]

50. Thanks for the follow up link.

[enid602]

4. Kushner

I hope Kushner’s making a good return on the $2B he owes the sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia.. And on the additional $1B he owes to the sovereign funds of other Gulf States.

[jls4561]

10. Just imagine the gulf state potentates lining up at the returns counter, clutching their receipts because the Jared they

purchased did not perform as promised.

[modrepub]

26. Maybe Not

I thought the House Of Saud actively wanted "regime change" in Iran. Given the different sects of Islam they represent, the countries are natural belligerents.

What will truly be interesting is how the house of Saud lines up with Israel after all the dust settles from this little soiree. There was a subtle partnership between the two before this all started.

As I've said before, war is horribly expensive and utterly unpredictable. One should really think many times before one enters into it; no one goes into war thinking they'll lose or there will be unwelcome consequences Sometimes it's cheaper and wise to put up with disagreeable neighbors then trying to oust them.

[NJCher]

45. I don't even think it's investment money

I think it's protection money and I've said so before on these threads.

We'll find out if the Saudis decide to call in a loan.

[Kid Berwyn]

5. Does Jared kiss Bonesaw's ass?

Bonesaw says Jared is in his pocket and, going by the intel he got, $2 billion was a bargain.

[FakeNoose]

41. Well if Jared is still welcome in SA, then I'll say yes

He's better off at this point, playing up to MBS than to his own father-in-law. However there's no word yet on whether this is a break within the family. If could be that MBS is done with all Americans including Jared. Let's see what happens in the next few days.

I've always wondered how Jared was able to get so close to MBS, when he's known to be Jewish and a close friend to Netanyahu.

[lamp_shade]

6. Do you have a better source than Dean Blundell?

[rzemanfl]

9. Are you suggesting the video of Trump at the link is fake? n/t

[generalbetrayus]

20. Longer video of Orange Julius Caesar stating that MBS is kissing his ass. OJC has lost what little mind he had.

[Norrrm]

7. After the next Prez is inaugurated.... 35 bucks on Amazon. Jared might provide F-I-L itinerary to MBS.

[Wednesdays]

11. Nah,

It's nothing a couple trillion dollars won't fix.

[erronis]

13. I believe that the Arab people are rather sensitive about various body parts.

And implications about cleanliness and "asses". Trump may find his ass in a sling soon - separated from the rest of his corpulent self.

[Lonestarblue]

32. Please let it be so!

[spanone]

14. This trmp 'president' is going to get a lot a Americans killled.

We won't have a single friend on earth.

Thank the fucking republicons.

[Eko]

15. He actually did say that. You can go to 42:00 here and watch it.

[democrank]

23. Trump looks like his face has been sprayed with

the stuff used to protect a basketball court floor.

[liberalla]

34. Excellent! Thank you for adding the full video.

[NoSheep]

42. omfg

[blue-wave]

16. Trump and his crew are like

bulls in a china shop.

[UpInArms]

17. More from your link

This is the part the foreign policy establishment keeps dancing around, so let’s just say it plainly: Trump is building a wall around the United States. Not a physical wall — an isolation wall. A wall made of alienated allies, broken compacts, and the steady erosion of the credibility that makes American security guarantees worth anything.

Canada. Europe. Now the Gulf. One by one, the relationships that constituted the American-led world order are being stress-tested and found wanting. Not because America is weak — because Washington is making itself untrustworthy. Unpredictable. Humiliating to stand next to in public.

[liberalla]

27. Thank you!

I almost posted that! There's so many important angles in this story, or to this event that we should be aware of. An intelligent person in another country can see things that we're missing... that aren't being openly discussed in our media (controlled by 4 or 5 billionaires courting dear leader for more tax breaks, I guess?).

Anyway, thank you! I'm glad you posted that!

[Amaryllis]

54. Dont forget embarrassing.

[blue-wave]

19. And Rubio was ordered to diss on MBS

over the Ukraine/Saudi defense deal:

'Putin is scared to death right now' Bill Browder and Rubio disses MBS over Saudi/Ukraine Defense Deal?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/113356098

[JT45242]

21. The video tapes from Epstein Island will show who was kissing ass

MBS will make him pay with the video evidence that they accumulated for years at the various Epstein locations

[Marcuse]

25. (!)

You do NOT insult or criticize the Crown Prince. He kills people for minor offenses.

[NJCher]

46. now that

would be the ideal outcome!

[OC375]

24. "Lost" is a bit of a leap, seven days later, unless the Saudi's say something publicly.

I doubt they are thrilled, but they are very patient and practical. Iran also announced to expect incoming on some of their bridges shortly, so I'd imagine they would at least wait to see how the dust settles. If they were going to viscerally dump Trump in outrage over an insult, I'd imagine it would have happened 6 or 7 days ago. I doubt they will forget it, though.

[liberalla]

30. The death of the US-Saudi relationship won't happen in a single dramatic moment.

"The death of the US-Saudi relationship won’t happen in a single dramatic moment. There’s no formal break, no press conference, no withdrawal of ambassadors. It’ll happen the way all strategic relationships die — quietly, incrementally, through a thousand small decisions made by leaders who’ve concluded they need options Washington won’t give them.

Here’s the downstream damage nobody in Washington is saying out loud.

Ukraine is now a more important military partner to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf than the United States is in the one domain that actually matters right now: active threat response. America sells Saudi Arabia F-35s and Patriot batteries. Ukraine solves the problem Saudi Arabia has today — Iranian drone swarms raining down on oil infrastructure while American interceptor stockpiles run dry and Lockheed Martin’s production line can’t keep pace with the war."

[Bev54]

28. As a Canadian, I am familiar with Dean Blundell and be careful with accepting everything

he writes, he often exaggerates and sometimes writes outright untruths and other times he gets it right. I say be cautious.

[moonscape]

40. There's nothing that doesn't

makes sense and ring true in here to me.

[Bev54]

56. This is only one article. As I said he can be prone to exaggeration and mistruths

It is just a warning to confirm information from him.

[moonscape]

65. I ran this by a friend

steeped in the region and your caution is sound.

He said the deal with Ukrainians started weeks ago pre humiliation and that they are unrelated. As for the humiliation? They can absorb it based on history.

[Blue Owl]

29. Uh oh, better offer Jared up as a sacrifice

[usonian]

31. I more and more get the impression that big shots are buying and selling video(s) of heinous acts at a world swap meet.

And it looks like Bonesaw sold his copy.

For sure, previous owners include Putin and Musk: whoever seems to dangle him like a marionette.

One of these days, someone is going to cash it in big time, or "lose" it, and his party is over.

Donald should hope and pray that Prince Bonesaw doesn't "go to Jared".

Pray? HA HA HA HA He prays only TO HIMSELF.

[liberalla]

35. Hooey!

" doesn't "go to Jared"..."

[usonian]

37. And walk out with his jewels!

[JoseBalow]

[muriel_volestrangler]

33. The "kissing my ass" remark was noted a couple of times on DU on Sunday

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016426047
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221131990

and the claim about linking it to the agreement with Ukraine was made on Tuesday, but that seems to not have a reliable origin - just a Ukrainian in Canada: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221136009#post20

[blue-wave]

36. Don't worry Muriel, it's just more reports coming

out in the days that followed confirming it all. So it is more than, how did you say? "just a Ukrainian in Canada"

Slava Ukraini!! Heroyam Slava!! Slava NaViki!!

[ToxMarz]

38. Hey Saudi Arabia, if you didn't get the memo

Everything Trump touches, dies. And you deserve it, thought you could dance with the devil and not get burned.

[Deuxcents]

39. Will they want that airplane back?

[NoSheep]

44. Are any wingnuts "remembering 9/11" right now?

I feel like I'm losing my mind

[aggiesal]

47. It really p1$$e$ me off when I hear Mierda47 is a really skilled politician, that can control the narrative ...

He's just a Mob Boss of an Organized Criminal Syndicate (R)'s,
that got his jaw clocked by another Mob Boss of an Organized Criminal Syndicate
that actually has more leverage in the ME than Mierda47.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

49. I saw this on DU several days ago

Why does anyone think Piggy JUST LOST SAUDI ARABIA?

Piggy handed Jamal Khashoggi to King Bonesaw for torture and assassination, they're molded from the same rancid shit.

[Trueblue1968]

51. tRump is hated by all world leaders. Someone needs to deal with him. Tough love. Lol lol

[Buddyzbuddy]

53. Not all of them.

[Buddyzbuddy]

52. Don't get our hopes up with that last line.

[Jack Valentino]

55. I hope that he IS insulted..... and will 'respond' accordingly !

[Amaryllis]

57. Everything Zelenzkyy is doing with the gulf states is a game changer. He's got the cards. Cards that

America doesn't even know exist. Drone warfare has changed everything and Ukraine is ahead of everyone else.
The gulf states are treating Zelenskyy with respect and dignity. And he knows how to behave with foreign leaders.
He didn't just lose Saudi Arabia. He lost the entire gulf.

[liberalla]

63. He's an amazing man! He was born for this fight against Putin and to lead his country!

I admire him immensely, and it pi$$ed me off to no end when drumpf was so derisive and dismissive of him and of Ukraine. He was always the better man. I wish Joe had been able to help him & Ukraine more.

Did you see this one? The US Could Have Have Had Ukranian Drone Tech Seven Months Ago - For Free. Trump Chose To Mock Zelensky For Putin instead. (also from Dean Blundell)

[Amaryllis]

67. Yes, I did see that one.

I follow several Substack writers who cover Ukraine and read about that several places. Also Meidas Touch covered Trump turning down Zelenskyy's offer.
Do you know Viktor Kravchuk? He is a Ukrainian who writes beautiful and profound posts.Totally different from Blundell.

58. This could get very cutting, if you get my drift.

[Figarosmom]

59. Maybe trump should visit then

See if he disappears.

[Aristus]

60. He hasn't 'lost'' Saudi Arabia until he suffers some consequences.

He is not now, and will never, suffer for his demented douchebaggery. Only his death will end this nightmare.

[drray23]

61. He better hope that his secret service detail post presidency is really good

There is probably a line of people who would want to get to him. Of course, we could provide him with a safe place like a supermax prison.

62. In over his head

Is this true? Why would absolutely nobody be carrying it.
