Trump is working on making UAE great again, and Saudi Arabia, and Qatar

[MagicMike]

It is so ridiculous that democrats have turned into the theater of the absurd. How dare these middle east billionaires invest in the US. They are actually buying American products. We can't have that. Investing in America cannot be allowed.

Really hilarious. Reminds me of the Marx Brothers.

Apparently you have already forgotten about 9/11 2001.
Also you must support Hamas.
Correct?
You should be careful because remember, the Trump Administration is deporting Hamas sympathizers from college campuses.
You could be next.

Sure, so long as they employ AMERICAN workers I have no problem with foreign owners.

Your "solution" is no manufacturing, no good jobs, and a massive two tier welfare state with a small ruling elite and a multitude of serfs

No thanks.

Trump ran on America controlling more of their manufacturing. The best way is to bring manufacturing back to the USA. But foreign owned manufacturing defeats many of Trump's goals. I personally believe in a global economy. But Trump is doing the opposite of what he ran on.
Drawbacks to foreign owned manufacturing.

• Job Displacement:

  Some argue that foreign-owned manufacturing can lead to job losses in domestic industries, particularly in sectors where labor costs are lower overseas.
  
  
• Wage Suppression:

  Some studies suggest that the presence of foreign-owned manufacturing may negatively impact wages for workers in related sectors, potentially leading to wage compression.
  
  
• Potential for Supply Chain Disruptions:

  While diversifying supply chains can be beneficial, reliance on foreign-owned manufacturing can also make the U.S. vulnerable to supply chain disruptions if conflicts or political tensions arise.

  The presence of foreign-owned manufacturing can dilute the "Made in America" image and potentially reduce consumer preference for domestically produced goods.

A global economy is great, so long as we American people don't have to lower our standard of living to do it.

In a global economy you need to look after your needs and at the same time respect the other countries needs.
Trump, in most cases is only looking at the USA needs, currently. It is backfiring.
In the middle east he put their needs at least as important as the USA needs. It is global economy thinking.

Ok, I care about the needs of Americans. If you care about the needs of a different country then you should move there and work to lift that country up.

 

[buttercup]

Anyone that's stupid enough to think that the CIA is the world's biggest terror threat is impossible to "engage" with!

You really shouldn't be calling other people stupid. Look into who created or had a hand in creating many of the terror organizations. What most here don't realize is that the powers-that-shouldn't-be have been using "terror" as a tool to achieve their globalist agendas, including never-ending war, unconstitutional legislation like the Patriot Act, and increasing authoritarianism. That's not to say that actual Islamic terror doesn't exist... it does. But the whole problem has been largely manufactured.

Trump is working on making UAE great again, and Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
How does building an AI center in UAE help the USA. How does it help to have Arab countries investing in the USA building manufacturing infrastructure and service businesses. Make America Greaat Again is about American owned businesses in the USA. Why should profits of a business located in the US go to owners in the middle east?

Trump family investing more in the Middle East than they are in the USA.

Trump's Middle East visit comes as his family deepens its business, crypto ties in the region

President Donald Trump's trip to the Mideast comes as sons Donald Jr. and Eric work the same part of the world for the family’s moneymaking opportunities.

Thank you you seem to be one of the only people that gets the diplomatic visitor and how incredibly historic and wonderful
optimism brings on a global scale.

Yeah this is a good week for Trump.
We will not accept anything less.

Small thinking. In any situation you will get more for yourself if the other party feels you are considering their needs, too.
That is the problem with MAGA. They only think of their needs, screw the rest of the people in the US. That thinking will be the downfall of MAGA.

One of the big problems of the democratic party is they were putting the needs of a few over the majority in many cases. You want to help those in need, but not without considering the needs of all others at the same time.

 

[Rambunctious]

The USA companies are investing in AI in UAE, NOT THE USA. The infrastructure does not service the USA.
Do we want the UAE through investing in the USA, control of our factories and businesses. NO!
China does not allow foreign ownership of factories for good reason.

SA is investing 3 trillion in the USA and they are dropping oil prices... its going to be great... Trump is a great president... maybe the greatest of all time....

You seem to have a short memory.
Have you forgotten that most of the 9/11/2001 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia?
Guess you just don't care anymore huh?
It's all about the money.
How about Hamas?
Are you a big anti-Israel, Hamas supporter?
Because Saudi Arabia is.
Funny how you MAGAts always take the side that's against our nation's best interests.

 

[theHawk]

Iran's nuke program threatens Israel, so Trump is working to get Iran to give it up.

I see that Trump is still under Jews' thumb

So you think it’s good for Iran to get nukes?

You people are nuts. Has nothing to do with Israel.

Do you want to bomb Saudi Arabia?

That is what Trump ran on. He wanted to focus on bringing manufacturing back to the USA. How does partnering in a data center in the UAE do that. The pay back is UAE investing in the US. Do we want foreign entities owning our factories and other businesses. The ideaa is to have Americans invest in the USA not in other countries.
If the UAE wants to have their products manufactured in USA factories owned by Americans, great.

I do not look at everything as 100%. That is a problem in our nation with politics and then accusations from it. You see, no one else is going to return manufacturing to the United States. None. Obama? Joe? Kamala? AOC? Crockett?....Prog governors?

That's a very stupid question.

Just snippets...

Qatar:

MAGA.

 

[Man With A Plan]

Perhaps I exaggerated a bit. Fair point, sir.

Genuine question for you: Do you think it's possible that the CIA can be engaged in bad, unethical things?

That's pretty much the job of the CIA and always has been, Quimby but show me a major country that doesn't have their own clandestine organization dealing with espionage just as the CIA does? The reason I find you to be rather naive is that you seem to think the CIA is the worst and that isn't even close to being the case!

What...you didn't know that the US supported the Mujahideen when they were fighting against the Soviets?

That's not what I said. This is about much more than just that. We were talking about the CIA, and you implied that it was crazy to think that they had to do with terror, in your response to Quimby's post #22. I was pointing out the uncomfortable truth that our own government HAS been involved with the creation of certain terror groups, and that the whole issue has been used as a tool. It's Problem - Reaction - Solution.

Of course we've been "involved"! We supplied the Afghan resistance with arms in their fight against the Soviets. Then once the Soviets retreated from Afghanistan some of those resistance fighters morphed into Al Queda. Should we have not helped the Afghans to rid themselves of the Soviets?
