President Trump departed Washington without having outlined an overarching vision for his visit to the Middle East beyond a desire to strike business deals.

But the deals themselves appear to be the grand vision.

Bribes. You mispelled bribes.

So the US Army are peace keepers now? That won't be popular with people raised to worship their guns.

Business deals FOR HIMSELF. That's a very important bit of context that's getting left out of the headline. Twice. Nothing they've announced benefits the rest of America.

The foreign policy establishment is mad at Trump for being too obvious.

Regarding the photo: I have yet to see anyone explain why he has seemingly appropriated the 1960s' Black Power salute.

Can you get someone on that story?

What deals is he gonna get? Ask for the moon and then end up declaring victory in grabbing two handfuls of nothing?

True, the focus on deals suggests economic interests took precedence over diplomacy or strategy. A clearer vision could’ve strengthened long-term regional impact.

We had an Iranian nuclear deal. Dumbfuck scrapped it, probably on Putin’s orders.

I remember when we had an Iran nuclear deal and Trump tore it up...

OMG! Rump's deals 'APPEAR' to be his vision. BEZOS still won't tell the truth! Rump's idiot sons did the groundwork, then Daddy flew in to finalize the deals! NO surprise!
[email protected] =FAKE CHRISTIAN was enraged when someone suggested Rump may benefit!
CLOWN CABINET!

You guys realize you don't have to be a joke, right?

I find it odd that all we know about this trip is that it is to three authoritarian countries his company does business with and he has ongoing projects in. We’re paying his way so he can conduct deals for himself and Congress doesn’t care.

His vision is to strike business deals

ricosuavejd.bsky.social•19 days ago

you're embarrassing yourselves with this headline

An Iranian nuclear deal like the one he destroyed in his first term?

striverstv.bsky.social•19 days ago

Let them eat cake?

bradpnw.bsky.social•19 days ago

Flitting around the world making deals that ignore the American people, filed under “making America great”, rich, so much winning..we’ll have forgotten what we lost.
American Pride.
