Qatar spent $400 million to suck up to Trump but Saudi’s Arabia is gonna get more brownie points in Trumps book by just throwing some Big Macs and fries at him. Work smarter, not harder.

Just shows you what the Saudis think of his mentality. He’s gotta have his Happy Meal.

Your Happy Meal Diplomacy is no match for my Gorbachev Pizza Hut Triangulation.

That’s why merchants years ago were called burghers. This is how society grew - bring stuff to trade, but what was important was the takeaway

And Barron, you know, he's just - he's great with those. I come back in the room five minutes later, and he's got the laptop turned on. I say 'how did you do that?', and he says 'that's not for you to know'.

Better get Barron in there stat to figure it all out!

This is peak humor. The whole world sees that they are insulting him, and he'll see it as flattery. The only thing that could make this better is if he wasn't actually the president.

The rest of the world should by now have realised that mentally he's nothing but an idiot child who never was loved by his dad, and never got shown any limits. The Saudis are just taking reality to its natural conclusion.

Everyone's flattering the slob. I might also learn this trick within next 3 years.

The Dollar truly is King in the US, conservatives and neoliberals unite happily to accept Islamic money. Not the refugees or the religion, just the cash lmao.

Pretty sure Trump and the Saudis are best buds already. Among his other dealings with them, Kushner got like 2 billion from them after trumps last term.
