Old Man Yells At Saudi Cloud: The reviews are in for Trump's speech.
'Basically yelling': Critics read between the lines in 'tired' Trump's Saudi speech
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-saudi-arabia-2671992000/
The Director of London Global Strategy Institute, Mamoun Fandy, summarized the over-hour-long speech saying, “Trump politics is all personal. He showered the Saudi Crown Prince with praise, and it is obvious that the chemistry between the two men is unusual. Saudi American relations are likely to thrive during Trump’s presidency.”
Meanwhile, on Bluesky, Emissary Of Night criticized Trump for backtracking on his promise that the Saudis would join the Abraham Accords. He told his more than 30,000 followers, "Trump says it would be great for Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords but that they'll ‘do it in [their] own time.’ A far cry away from his predictions last month that they'd join by the end of May."
Mandawi criticized Trump for by summing up the speech. They told their more than one thousand followers, "Trump is basically yelling ‘We are not a part of western democracy anymore!’ Isn't it obvious by the fact that his first foreign trip is to Saudi Arabia? Isn't it obvious by him accepting a plane from Qatar? Also, his tariff choices and his rhetoric about Canada and Greenland??"
