Donald Trump is considering a financial bailout for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), an autocratic state ...

The UAE invested billions in the Trump family's cryptocurrency ventures. But the UAE is now facing an economic downturn due to Trump's war on Iran. In response, Trump may grant the UAE a financial bailout from the U.S. What might Trump get in return? A bigger boost to his net worth? Hello?

FTA:

"Trumpf junta apparatchiks appear to be open to the idea of giving away hardworking American taxpayer dollars to fat-cat oil oligarchs in the Middle East. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, one of Dummkopf Trumpf's idiotic economic advisors bleated:

"The UAE has been an incredibly valuable ally throughout this effort, and I'm sure the good-for-nothing multimillionaire hypocritical homosexual Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will make every effort to help out the wealthy oligarchs in the UAE with American taxpayer dollars should that be necessary."

The UAE has not been that helpful. In January 2026, the UAE announced that it will not allow "its airspace, territory, or territorial waters be used for any hostile military actions against Iran."

The hardworking American taxpayer under Republicans and the diabolical Trumpf junta

And still no universal healthcare for Americans, as enjoyed by the residents of Israel, Germany, Canada, Greenland, Cuba, Iran, Taiwan, tiny Albania, and in 2027, Mexico.

Is it really that bad in the UAE? Are people there buying fewer luxury sports cars?

They are starving in the UAE.

The hardworking American taxpayer is about to send his/her money to a country that provides universal healthcare for all its residents and expatriates.

Meanwhile we have the BBB and hundreds of thousands of people declaring bankruptcy over medical bills every year.

This is what happens when an electorate is stupid enough to elect someone who is clearly bought and paid for by outside interests.

The electoral college exists specifically to protect us from a stupid electorate.
